President’s Report to Senate

The summer of 2016 was a mix of weather, lots of activity on campus with a record number of students enrolled, some interesting travel, several key announcements and a spot of vacation. Although Board and Senate Committees were inactive, considerable work also continued on a number of fronts, for example: capital projects, discussions with the Kwantlen Faculty Association regarding some important issues and grievances, orientation of many new staff and faculty as well as new Board members.

On June 23rd to 25th I attended the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning Board meeting.

I completed my meetings with all the local MPs, and we are still waiting for the announcement of the Strategic Investment Fund proposal submitted in the spring.

Dr. Ferreras joined me in a meeting with the new Superintendent of Schools in Richmond, Sherry Ellwood, and we expect our relationship with School District 38 to deepen over the coming years.

I was pleased to attend the opening of the Kwantlen Street Farmers Market at KPU Richmond on June 28th, organized and operated by the Kwantlen Student Association.

The Wilson School of Design ground breaking ceremony was on July 4th (with Minister Wilkinson attending) and an announcement of ITA funding for trades training was held on July 22nd with MLA for Surrey-WhiteRock, Gordon Hogg and the Honorable Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Development and MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale attending.

Several KPU staff toured the 3 Civic Plaza facility in July, and that project is coming along well.

I attended two of the Family Orientation Sessions on July 13 and 14, and had a very constructive meeting with Deputy Minister of Advanced Education, Sandra Carroll on July 19th.

I was pleased to join the KSA and Pride Kwantlen in the Vancouver Pride parade on July 31st, along with several colleagues.

I now co-chair the KPU Environmental Sustainability Committee with Dr. Worobec, and we are looking at ways to increase and better co-ordinate the many sustainable initiatives across KPU.

On August 17th, I was invited to a small roundtable consultation on immigration with the Honorable John McCallum, Minster of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

Senate

MEETING DATE: September 26, 2016 AGENDA #: 4.1 PRESENTED BY: Alan Davis

On September 1st, I was pleased to Join Minster of International Trade, Chrystia Freeland and Prime Minster Justin Trudeau in Shanghai at the signing of an educational MOU with the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM). Here I am with the PM and president Xu from BUCM.

The KPU Foundation Board met on September 13th, and we have worked over the summer to clarify our relationship with the Foundation in light of KPU being granted charitable status. We have a new resolve to engage with the Foundation Board and to leverage Board members’ connections to our communities.

The Trades Training Consortium met on September 12, the Post-Secondary Employers Association on the 14th and the BC Net Board on September 19th and 20th.

Report from: Senate Standing Committee on Curriculum

The Senate Standing Committee on Curriculum (SSCC) did not meet this month due to a lack of agenda items. However, since the committee’s last report to Senate in June, a number of curricular activities relating to the work of the committee and its subcommittees have occurred over the summer and in September. The new course outline template launched on SharePoint on June 13, 2016, and it can be accessed at the following link: https://our.kwantlen.ca/sites/courseoutlines/SitePages/Home.aspx Since the launch of the new course outline template in June, the Vice Chair of Senate has been providing training on the new template and the course outline approval process to all the Faculties. The Dean’s Office for each of the Faculties organized and scheduled the training with the Vice Chair of Senate for their respective Faculty. As of September 15th, course outline training and informational sessions have been scheduled for the following Faculties:

• Faculty of Science and Horticulture – June 29th and August 29th • Faculty of Health – September 1st • Faculty of Arts – September 2nd • Chip and Shannon Wilson School of Design – October 19th • School of Business – September 23rd • Faculty of Trades and Technology – date TBD

The SSCC Subcommittee on Writing-Intensive Courses (SWIC) met on August 25th and September 8th to discuss the feedback received from the committee’s consultations with all the Faculty Curriculum Committees and Academic Council over the summer. This feedback informed the committee in finalizing its recommendations on changes to Policy AC11 (General Education in Degree Programs), as well as on developing a set of criteria for evaluating courses for writing-intensive status.

AGENDA #: 7

PRESENTED BY: Chamkaur Cheema

Report from: Senate Governance Committee

The Senate Governance Committee (SGC) met on September 12, 2016.

The SGC discussed issues of inconsistencies with the Board and Senate Election Rules. These issues became evident when the Election Rules, Senate Bylaws and The University Act were used by the Appeals Committee in their review of a student appeal related to the Senate election. A working group has been formed to review the Board and Senate Election Rules with an eye to harmonization and clarity.

Also discussed was the membership composition of Senate Standing Committees and in particular how creating some flexibility in the language regarding the minimum number of committees on which a Senator commits to serve could allow, in particular circumstances, overburdened Senators to be temporarily excused. The committee’s discussion resulted a number of suggestions. This topic is expected to be reviewed by SGC again soon.

Consultations: N/A

Attachments: Letter dated August 9, 2016 from the Ministry of Advanced Education

Submitted by: Jon Harding


Key Messages: [maximum of 3, preferably no more than 100 words]

1. The letter from the Ministry of Advanced Education outlines KPU’s operating grand and student full-time equivalent (FTE) target for 2016/17 and the associated accountabilities, roles and expectations 2. Attachment 1 provides detailed information regarding KPU’s Fiscal 2016/17 operating grant and student FTE targets 3.

Our Ref. 102699 August 9, 2016 Mr. Jon Harding Vice-President, Finance and Administration Kwantlen Polytechnic University 12666 72nd Ave Surrey BC V3W 2M8 Dear Mr. Harding I am writing to provide you with information regarding Kwantlen Polytechnic University operating grant and student full-time equivalent (FTE) target for 2016/17, and the associated accountabilities, roles and expectations. 2016/17 Operating Grant and FTEs Attachment 1 provides details pertaining to your institution’s operating grant and student FTE targets for fiscal 2016/17. Please ensure that your institution’s Institutional Research (IR) Director is provided copies of correspondence from the Ministry of Advanced Education (the Ministry) that includes student FTE targets. This communication will help ensure accurate FTE reporting that is aligned with funding. One-time Health program Funding - Short Duration and Pilot Health Education A Call for Proposals for one-time short-duration and pilot health education program spaces in 2016/17 was provided under separate cover in January 2016. The decisions made on those proposals have been reflected in your institution’s budget allocation and student FTE targets. Developmental Program FTEs Student FTE targets for developmental programs remain unchanged for 2016/17. The Ministry recognizes that recent funding and tuition policy changes mean some institutions are still in a period of transition with regard to the delivery of these programs, and may be unable to meet their target. Institutions will be advised once the Ministry begins planning for a review of the targets for developmental programs.

… /2

- 2 - Economic Stability Mandate The operating grant allocations include funding for collective agreements ratified under the Economic Stability Mandate (ESM) prior to July 22, 2016, and for the associated Economic Stability Dividend. For those institutions which have not concluded bargaining under the ESM, the Ministry will seek approval for additional funding after the remaining agreements are ratified. In support of this work, those institutions will be asked to confirm cost estimates provided to the Ministry by the Public Sector Employers’ Council Secretariat. Institutions should assume that provincial funding will be available to offset salary increases that fall within the parameters of the ESM. This funding may be built into quarterly forecasts. . If you have any questions please contact Mr. Raman Dale, Director, Post-Secondary Finance, at (250) 387-6142 or [email protected]. B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint (the Blueprint) continues to align post-secondary program offerings with labour market demand to ensure British Columbians have the skills needed to fill anticipated job openings in the province. Your institution’s 2016/17 Skills Gap Plan has been approved by the Labour Market Priorities Board and the funding and student FTEs are outlined in the targets in Attachment 1. Performance against the “Total Skills Gap Plan FTE” targets will be assessed using your institution’s final 2016/17 FTE reports, due in spring 2017. Institutions not delivering the targeted student spaces under the Blueprint may have funding redirected. Financial Oversight and Accountabilities On February 16, 2016, the government tabled Budget 2016, its updated three-year Budget and Fiscal Plan, which continues to uphold the commitments to annual balanced budgets and a declining trend in the taxpayer-supported debt-to-GDP ratio that supports a AAA credit rating. As part of the government reporting entity, post-secondary institutions are required to meet or exceed their financial targets, and are responsible for the effective and efficient use of taxpayer investments to ensure a high quality, accessible post-secondary education system in British Columbia. The financial accountabilities of institutions are outlined in legislation (the College and Institute Act, the University Act, and the Budget Transparency and Accountability Act [BTAA]); and are grounded in prudent, transparent fiscal management. Good financial management helps ensure that institutions are able to achieve their operational and fiscal objectives; gain the respect and confidence of funding agencies and other stakeholders; and create a position of long-term financial sustainability. The post-secondary sector receives significant funding from government, and as such, is accountable to taxpayers for the effective and efficient use of these resources. This includes ensuring that expenditures throughout the organization are reasonable, appropriate and directly support the core mandate of the institution. The following information is provided to guide and inform institutions’ financial planning:

https://www.workbc.ca/training-education/b-c-s-skills-for-jobs-blueprint.aspx

- 3 - Financial Reporting The BTAA sets out that all government reporting entities will provide quarterly financial reports, including year-to-date actuals and four-year forecasts. These reports are consolidated and publicized by specified dates. In order to support these timeframes, the Ministry of Finance establishes quarterly reporting dates, and institutions are expected to provide all reports on time, ensure that all known financial changes are reflected, and that forecasts reflect best-available estimates of year-end operating and capital results. The accuracy of forecasting is of primary importance and material changes to operating results or to capital project schedules and/or provincial cash flows should be brought to the Ministry’s attention immediately. Institutions’ third-quarter projections for the following fiscal year are used to establish the Budget and Fiscal Plan targets. Institutions’ financial outcomes are monitored against these figures throughout the following year. Balanced Financial Results Legislation requires that an institution must be in an annual balanced or surplus financial position, including amortization expenses but excluding new endowment contributions. In addition, capital projects must be managed within approved project budgets. The starting point to achieve these results is an annual balanced budget, including both operating results and the funding requirements of capital projects. Deficits Under extraordinary circumstances, institutions may seek an exception to the annual balanced budget requirement and request approval from the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Advanced Education to operate in a deficit position. Requests for deficit approval must be provided to the Ministry of Advanced Education by the end of the second quarter and include an explanation of key deficit drivers; actions taken to mitigate the deficit; a plan to return to a balanced position and the associated timeframe; and an outline of any extraordinary implications for students. Regardless of the circumstances, an institution should not assume that a request to operate in a periodic deficit will be approved. Travel and Procurement Institutions are asked to conduct their operations and financial activities in a manner consistent with the legislative, regulatory and policy framework established by government; including the procurement and travel practices as outlined in governments’ Core Policy and Procedures Manual (CPPM). Post-secondary institutions are specifically being asked to have travel policies in place that promote the spirit and intent of government’s travel policies.

- 4 - Tuition Limit Institutions are expected to comply with Government’s tuition limit policy. For 2016/17, tuition and mandatory fee increases for existing programs and services continue to be limited to 2%. Clarification on the application of the tuition limit policy as it relates to new and existing programs, fees and services was provided in a letter to Presidents from the Deputy Minister of Advanced Education on March 3, 2016. Executive and Management Compensation As part of the implementation of the recommendations from the BC Public Sector Compensation Review released in October 2014, and in keeping with the Taxpayer Accountability Principles, public sector employers have implemented a new public sector compensation philosophy that includes common principles to guide compensation decision-making and a shared approach to benchmarking. One of the guiding principles of the common compensation philosophy is performance-based culture, in which compensation decisions for executive and management staff are based on merit rather than an entitlement to an annual increase. Last year, public sector employers were given some modest flexibility to address specific compensation issues (such as compression or inversion) that resulted from the wage freeze. Modest, targeted increases within existing salary ranges for management staff were permitted based on approved parameters. In July 2016, this policy was expanded to include executive employees. This is not a general wage increase. Any increases must be funded within existing budgets, and must not affect other efficiency targets. Institutions should work with their Employer's Association representative or contact the Public Sector Employers' Council Secretariat for more information on this process. Board Expenses As the institution’s oversight body, the Board of Governors plays an integral role in ensuring that the institution operates within its mandate in an effective and efficient manner, and that the taxpayer funds that are invested in the institution, are managed appropriately. The ministry has developed a new Orientation for B.C. Public Post-Secondary Institution Board Members t Treasury Board Directive 3/11, section 7, provides guidance on business travel and expense reimbursements for appointed board members. Capital and Real Estate Approval letters for 2016/17 Routine Capital and Carbon Neutral Capital Program projects have been issued to your institution. If any of these funds cannot be used for the intended purpose and/or by March 31, 2017, please contact James Postans, Director, Capital Asset Management, at [email protected], as soon as possible.

- 5 - Capital Planning The capital planning process supports quality decision making to advance or reject a proposed project, and ensures that the right strategic decisions are being made in a structured, efficient manner. Each phase of the capital planning process requires specific tasks and activities to be undertaken and corresponding approvals from the institution, Ministry, and/or Ministry of Finance. During the planning phase, the level of due diligence increases with each deliverable to ensure that the project scope, cost, schedule, and risk profile are sufficiently accurate. The institutions, in conjunction with the Ministry, will utilize a risk screen tool to assess the risk of capital projects. Specific project approval and oversight requirements, including Project Boards, will be determined based on the risk rating. Business Plans should include the costs and benefits of procurement options and the recommended option must deliver the best value for money over the lifecycle of the asset. Project proposals must also comply with government’s requirement to be carbon neutral under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act and the Province’s Wood First legislation. Capital Contributions The Ministry has implemented a capital cost-sharing policy and it is expected that capital projects will be cost shared with institutions. Ministry staff will discuss mutually appropriate cost sharing levels with institutions on a project-by-project basis. Capital Procurement Please ensure that all capital asset procurement is in accordance with the Capital Asset Management Framework (CAMF) developed by the government for public sector bodies. Specifically, procurement must be fair, open, competitive, transparent, and must effectively manage, budget and schedule risk. This includes undertaking the necessary conflict of interest searches for the purpose of identifying any business and professional interests and relationships between capital project procurement team members and their advisors with proponents. All priority projects require a procurement options analysis and may be audited to confirm that all procurement activities have been undertaken in accordance with CAMF. The Apprentices on Public Projects policy to support the use of apprentices on major, publicly-funded provincial government infrastructure projects became effective July 1, 2015. The policy applies to all new, major infrastructure projects, with a provincial government investment of $15 million or more, and all related contracts valued at $500,000 or more for specified trades. Post-secondary institutions working on major projects are required to show a commitment to using apprentices on the projects. Prime contractors are also encouraged to report registered apprentices and other trainees with provincial government investments below $15 million. After project approval, progress reporting is required to ensure that design, construction, and project close out proceeds in accordance with the terms and conditions of the project approval letter.

- 6 - Where your institution is considering a facility acquisition, either by ownership or lease, the government prefers such facilities be located along existing transit routes or, in the case of Metro Vancouver, along major transportation infrastructure. All institutions are expected to maintain an inventory for real property in conjunction with the Ministry’s Capital Asset Management System. The Ministry has provided information regarding the inventory submission process and will provide updates to the institutions regarding ongoing data maintenance. Release of Assets for Economic Generation The Release of Assets for Economic Generation (RAEG) initiative is a continued priority for government during the 2016/17 fiscal year. Institutions are requested to facilitate these sales within the expected timelines, and identify any variances to the anticipated land sales proceeds. All institutions are required to identify to the Ministry any surplus properties for potential inclusions within RAEG initiative and must obtain Ministerial approval before any land sales complete. For more information on capital planning, acquisitions and dispositions, please visit the Ministry website: http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/cppm/documents/carg-2014/carg.pdf Greenhouse Gas Act Institutions are expected to comply with government’s requirement to be carbon neutral under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act. Administrative Service Delivery Transformation (ASDT) Institutions continue to play a lead role in achieving administrative efficiencies, reducing and containing costs, sharing best practices, and enhancing the range and quality of services across the sector through the Administrative Services Delivery Transformation (ASDT) Program. Joint procurement opportunities include natural gas, vending services, reduced merchant fees, a new purchasing card program, travel management services, fire extinguisher testing, elevator maintenance, exam booklet printing, multi-function devices, and trades training equipment. New master agreements are anticipated for courier services, cylinder gas, and office supplies. Using a methodology established in 2014 for tracking and reporting savings and benefits from ASDT projects and initiatives, $10.51 million in sector benefits were reported for fiscal 2013/14, and $30.66 million in benefits were reported for fiscal 2014/15. ASDT associated benefits for fiscal 2015/16 will be reported in the ASDT 2015/16 Progress Report, scheduled for release in fall 2016. The Ministry remains committed to working with public post-secondary institutions to find administrative savings and efficiencies through collaboration and shared services, while protecting and maximizing investments in educating students.

- 7 - Central Deposit Program The Central Deposit Program (CDP) was launched in February 2013, as a key initiative to address concerns raised by the Auditor General regarding excess liquidity in schools, universities, colleges and hospitals. The CDP delivers lower deposit risk and competitive deposit rates, while reducing debt costs for taxpayers and positively contributing to government’s ability to fund programs such as health and education into the future. By the end of fiscal 2015/16, all 25 institutions had signed agreements and 24 had made use of the program. Feedback from the sector has been positive and the Ministry is encouraging all institutions to continue to participate. For further information on the CDP, please contact Mr. Kevin Macmillen, Executive Director, Banking and Cash Management Branch, Ministry of Finance, at (250) 387-7105 or [email protected]. Support and Services to Students Open Education Resources Institutions are expected to continue to support the use of open education resources, including government’s Open Textbook initiative, to increase affordability for students and their families. Credit Transfer Institutions are expected to continue to work together to support a seamless and sustainable transfer system that enables a broad range of educational pathway options for British Columbia students. EducationPlannerBC (formerly titled Common Online Application Platform) The Ministry continues to explore the development of a single unified application process for BC, working collaboratively with institutions. A joint Ministry-Sector Governance Structure is in place, including a Steering Committee, to lead the detailed planning and consultation required to advance this priority. Institutions are encouraged to support the work of the Sector Steering Committee and its working groups, as and when requested. All public institutions will have an opportunity to provide input as the planning evolves. Thank you for your continued cooperation in working with the Ministry and other system partners to provide students with an accessible, affordable, high quality and relevant post-secondary education. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss contents of this letter, please contact Mr. Raman Dale, Director, Post-Secondary Finance, at (250) 387-6142 or [email protected].

AGENDA #: 10

PRESENTED BY: Jennifer Au

Report from: Senate Standing Committee on Academic Planning and Priorities

The Senate Standing Committee on Academic Planning and Priorities (SSCAPP) met on September 9, 2016. The committee elected Romy Kozak as its representative on the Creative Capital Fund Selection Committee. Earlier this year, SSCAPP tasked a subcommittee to develop criteria for recognition of post-secondary institutions within Canada that are currently not recognized by KPU in accordance with the procedures to Policy AR12 (Transfer Credit & Advanced Standing), Section A.2.c.ii:

A. ARTICULATION AND THE AWARDING OF TRANSFER CREDIT 2. Granting credit for individual post-secondary courses

ii. Institutions Not Recognized by KPU 1) The decision to award transfer credit for courses from institutions not considered recognized by KPU require approval of the appropriate Senate Committee.

In consultation with the Associate Vice-President, International, SSCAPP recommended that the SSCAPP subcommittee should expand the criteria to include international institution recognition. The subcommittee expects that the draft criteria should be ready to be presented to SSCAPP at its October meeting for review. SSCAPP discussed exploring the committee’s role within its mandate that will allow the committee to contribute to KPU through a broader vision. Within its governance capacity, the committee suggested that SSCAPP could provide a more critical role in setting a tone for KPU’s academic vision. To that end, the committee requested that the President and Provost attend SSCAPP to explore their vision of the committee’s role with SSCAPP.

Agenda Item: 2017/18 and 2018/19 Academic Year Schedules

Action Requested:



THAT Senate approve the 2017/18 and 2018/19 Academic Year Schedules.


On September19, 2016 the Senate Standing Committee on Policy Review confirmed that the 2017/18 and 2018/19 Academic Year Schedules were compliant with AR17: Academic Schedule Policy and recommended them to Senate for approval.


The following consistent guidelines have been used in the establishment of both Academic Year Schedules:

• The number of instructional days have been maximized at 13 wherever possible. • The potential for future December holiday closures has been factored in. • A non-instructional day has been included in the first week of January for Spring’s

new student orientation. • A formula for consistent withdrawal dates each semester has been utilized. • Each exam period has been set at 8 days. • The Reading break each Spring has been aligned with Family Day so two

consecutive instructional Mondays are not lost.

2. Exam Schedule a. For semester-based programs or courses final exams should be scheduled

commencing after a one (1) day break between the last scheduled day of classes and run for eight (8) working days (including Saturdays).

Page 2 of 2 Policy No. AR17

b. For non semester-based programs or courses final exams should be scheduled according to program requirements.

3. Reading Break

5. Other a. An effort will be made to include dates important to students, such as withdrawal

dates.

On behalf of the Board of Governors, the Senate, through the Policy Review Committee, will monitor the academic schedule for the purpose of affirming that it aligns with the principles identified in the policy.
