Senate Executive

April 15, 2014 1:30 pm in TB 503S

MINUTES Present: C. Bennell, K. Kelly, G. MacNeil, P. Ricketts, R. Runte Regrets: S. Bertram, H. Boyd, J. Shepherd, N. Rowe

The meeting was called to order at 13:30.

1. Approval of the agenda

It was MOVED (C. Bennell, G. MacNeil) that the agenda be approved as distributed.

It was PASSED unanimously.

2. Confirmation of e-poll to approve minutes of March 18, 2014 (held on March 20, 2014)

An e-poll to approve minutes of March 18, 2014 was held on March 20, 2014.

3. Early Graduation Case (for approval) (to be distributed at the meeting)

K. Kelly reported on a case for early graduation presented for approval. She noted that approval at the departmental and Faculty levels have been obtained and the Registrar’s Office had confirmed that the students has had met the graduation requirements.

It was MOVED (G. MacNeil, C. Bennell) that Senate Executive approve early graduation for the student as requested.

It was PASSED unanimously.

4. Senate Financial Review Committee (SFRC): Selection of Chair

K. Kelly reported that the Senate Academic Governance Committee (SAGC) is currently reviewing committee memberships. It was asked why the SFRC has not

Page 7: Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin … · 2014-05-29 · Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin people, traditional custodian of the

2

been populated. The SFRC has not been officially retired. The SAGC has suggested that the SFRC be re-activated.

The Chair commented that the SFRC was established in 1996 when a few professors from Economics had expressed concern that financial decisions taken at the time were having an impact on academic units. The Committee met once a year to hear the report and would then report to Senate. When the current Vice-President (Finance and Administration) came into office he felt it was more effective to report to Senate directly. This became the normal process and the Clerk no longer populated the SFC. She noted that he would like to carry on that tradition.

K. Kelly asked if the SAGC should consider the formal retirement of the SFRC.

The Chair responded that it could be suggested to the Committee to consider retiring the SFRC. She noted that the Academic Planning, Priorities and Initiatives Committee (APPIC) reviews the financial aspects related to new program approval submissions. The APPIC comprises of President and Vice Chancellor, the Provost (chair), the Vice Presidents, the Deans, the University Librarian, the Vice Provost and Associate Vice President (Academic), the Associate Vice President (Students and Enrolment) and the Assistant Vice President (Institutional Research and Planning).

P. Ricketts commented that the APPIC reviews the business plans for all academic programs.

K. Kelly noted that it is unlikely that the SAGC will meet again during the current academic year.

G. MacNeil commented that it would be useful to codify the time for the report of the Vice-President (Finance and Administration).

The Chair responded that there needs to be some flexibility with respect to when the Vice-President (Finance and Administration) would present their report to Senate. We could say that a report on the University’s finances would be presented sometime during the spring semester. It could be asked that a report be presented at the upcoming meeting of Senate.

The Clerk responded that she will confirm this with the Vice-President (Finance and Administration).

Page 8: Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin … · 2014-05-29 · Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin people, traditional custodian of the

It was agreed that a report will be presented at the upcoming meeting of Senate should the Vice-President (Finance and Administration) be available or at the next meeting, in May, at the latest.

G. MacNeil noted that this would be his last Senate Executive meeting as his term as President (GSA), and consequently as Senator, will finish on April 30.

Referring to the questions submitted for Question Period at Senate, K. Kelly asked about identifying a respondent.

G. MacNeil asked about the context to the submitted questions.

The Chair responded that Senate is responsible for consideration of the commencement and closure of academic programs. In this particular instance, for Integrated Science, it was the prudent to stop enrolment as the unit failed to produce the self-study. The next steps were to review the situation and to determine the course of action. While Senate will have to decide ultimately, it is normal practice for Senate to receive reports from its committees on such issues which aid Senate in decision-making.

P. Ricketts commented that the failure to produce a self-study, as is required by the QA process, led to the decision of closure and subsequently the suspension of enrolment to the program.

The Chair commented that closing a program can be traumatic; when it comes to Senate, it could be seen that closing a program will lead to job loss. However, it is not so. The closure of this program is in line with standard procedures at the University.

K. Kelly noted that the Provost will not be present at the Senate meeting and that the Vice-Provost could respond to the questions.

P. Ricketts commented that part of the question has to do with technicalities.

The Chair commented that the Clerk could speak to the technical aspect and the authority of Senate while the Chair could speak to the practicality of the decision and why it could happen again and the extent of the Provost’s ‘power’. The Vice-Provost could speak to the route of closure.

The Clerk commented that a historical example of suspension of enrolment would be helpful.

Page 9: Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin … · 2014-05-29 · Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin people, traditional custodian of the

The Chair responded that similar decisions have been taken in the past. She noted that stopping enrolment does not mean de facto closure of the program; Senate has final authority.

P. Ricketts commented that if faculty board had indicated that they wanted the program to continue it would have been ensured that the programs complied with the QA process.

C. Bennell asked about the course of action if Senate were to reject the proposal.

P. Ricketts responded that there would have to be further discussion between Senate and the concerned program.

5. Approval of the Senate agenda – April 25, 2014

K. Kelly noted that she will confirm if the Vice-President (Finance and Administration) would be available to present a report at the upcoming meeting and, if so, that the agenda will be amended accordingly.

K. Kelly reported that the motion from the Senate Academic Governance Committee (SAGC), presented at the last Senate meeting, has been reviewed and amended. It will be presented at the April meeting.

6. Other business

K. Kelly reported on faculty vacancies on Senate and noted that the deadline is April 16, 2014 to send nominations or self-nominate. Nominations received after this date will be acclaimed until no vacancy exists. She noted that, as of this afternoon, vacancies continue to exist.

The Chair commented that it could have to do with timing as it is a busy time for faculty.

K. Kelly responded that the Senate Office has not received any particular concerns regarding the timing.

It was agreed that emails to outgoing Senators will be sent informing them of the end of their term and asking if they would consider renewing their term.

K. Kelly noted that a request from the SAGC will be forthcoming asking the Provost to meet with CUPE 4600 regarding appointment of contract instructors (CI) to Senate; the Committee is not abreast of the nuances of this but would

Page 10: Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin … · 2014-05-29 · Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin people, traditional custodian of the

find any information helpful in considering the addition of CIs to the Senate membership. She noted that the discussion, at a recent meeting of the Committee, included the possible criteria for CIs as Senators.

The meeting was adjourned at 14:15.

The Senate Office is working on filling this vacancy. The Clerk noted that the medals and prizes policy would require further revision with respect to the awarding of some medals. She commented that she would be consulting with the Deans regarding this, shortly. The Clerk commented on the election of some members, to be elected by Senate, for two advisory committees to be established: 1) to review the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) and 2) for the Vice-President (Research and International). She noted that Senate is responsible for electing the members of faculty, a professional librarian, and two students (1 undergraduate, 1 graduate). Meeting was adjourned at 14:15.

Tuesday, May 27th, 2014

RE: Report of the Academic Colleague from the Council of Ontario Universities meetings on May 20th and 21st, 2014. Dear members of the Senate, On May 20th, 2014, the Academic Colleagues from Ontario’s Universities met at the Council of Ontario Universities offices in Toronto for a “working dinner”. These dinners allow us to sit around a table for three to four hours and discuss topics of mutual concern and interest to Ontario Universities. The topics are decided upon prior to the meeting and this month it was decided that the discussion should be centered on academic misconduct in online courses. There is a great deal of discussion in the government about the role of online teaching in this province and the relative prevalence of cheating in online courses versus traditional in class course has not received a great deal of attention. The colleagues read a number of papers prior to the meeting and then discussed the topic at length. Everyone contributed to the discussion and over time it changed from online misconduct to academic cheating in general. We talked about stats of cheaters, why they cheat, the resource implications of catching everyone and creating a culture of integrity to prevent cheating. Colleagues shared anecdotes from their own careers and offered tips on what they have done to mitigate cheating. The colleagues reconvened the following morning at the COU offices and were debriefed by COU staff on an assortment of topics that were then discussed by the whole group. For brevity, the topics will be summarized in bullet form below: TOPIC 1: Colleges are petitioning the government to be allowed to offer 3-year degrees:

This is very counter-differentiation.

Accreditation difficult. Colleges want their own accreditation board.

Colleges are using base-funding for research. Getting more and more grants as well. TOPIC 2: Election planning

This election seems to be all about jobs

Result is unpredictable

Best for us to build and strengthen all relationships with leaders in all ridings

COU has provided each party with kits on university issues

COU has using social media to debunk myths on universities – employment stats, experiential learning

No decisions from MCTU until election decided. TOPIC 3: SMAs and diff

18 of 20 SMAs signed before election started.

Page 28: Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin … · 2014-05-29 · Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin people, traditional custodian of the

Questions for MTCU: o Will they revise metrics o Will this happen again in 3 years?

TOPIC 4: Capacity expansion framework (money for capital expansions on campuses)

Released instructions in March

Will target areas that are bursting at seams

Every university is putting in proposal

Don’t know how much risk there is to these dollars with election TOPIC 5: Online

Steering committee will establish a new centre of excellence

Steering committee will give opportunity to groups to give input before finalizing organization

Been sent to students, unions, OCOUFA, CFS, e-learning group, registrars. o Waiting for feedback on this

Working towards more detailed description of what new entity will be and what powers it will have.

Will be highly collaborative between groups (universities). TOPIC 6: Program approvals

Decisions were to be made after SMA, but election came up right away TOPIC 7: COU task force of funding flexibility

Executive heads were interviewed to find themes that are significant for review

SMA templates commit the government to move towards a funding review

See what happens after election

COU wants to use this to try to effect a cultural change in how MTCU works with COU. COU wants to be a partner with them rather than consulted on an as-needed basis.

If any questions arise from the content of this report, please do not hesitate to ask.
