5. Business Arising from the Minutes.

6. Conceptual Framework for the University's Research Plan. - A. Klymenko

K. Fedderson introduced Anne Klymenko who spoke on behalf of Dr. R. Wang, Vice- President of Research.

Anne addressed the circulated document on the conceptual framework for the University's research plan. She emphasized that it was at the draft stage and was not the final version that would be presented for Senate approval. She asked Council for their feedback. B. Strang was also a member of the Research Committee who could answer questions. A discussion followed.

There was a query with regard to the balance in the report: 45% for teaching,

45% for research and 10% for Service. It was felt that 'Service' was underrepresented. 'Service' provided faculty the necessary time for teaching and research.

With respect to promotion and tenure, the report's research criteria seemed to be restricted to external funding. Some faculty research was of the nature that did not require such funding, while other research did not need immediate money and was done through faculty resources. It was explained that this aspect had been addressed and will be reflected in the final draft. On the external front, Maclean's have limited their definition of research in Canadian universities by equating income to productivity.

The meaning of interdisciplinary and prioritized areas such as those found on pages 3 and 7 of the report was not clear.

B. Strang stated that these issues had not been fully discussed. In order to provide a more comprehensive draft to identify research, a culture and society research stream had been incorporated as a criterion.

K. Fedderson raised the following issues:

1) i the areas of research

ii definition of research intensiveness at the University

2) Every full-time faculty is obliged to do research. Budget requirements

should not influence promotion and tenure. Colleagues within the

University should receive adequate support. New principles should

support research at Lakehead University irrespective of discipline or the

focus of NSERC.

B. Strang also shared this concern and again pointed to the framework of "Culture and Society."

Discussion continued.

B. Strang noted that external research criteria does now require societal impacts with

funding requests. He emphasized that the Vice-President Academic shares the Committee's concerns. It had been observed that some research intensive universities

have cut down faculty teaching loads to two.

A. Klymenko explained that current research funding criteria is consistent with others in the system.

It was suggested that a small faculty committee be formed to represent the will

of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities and write a response to the Research

Plan.

It was moved by D. West and seconded by J. Leggat that a formal committee

be struck to represent the will of the faculty and a develop a collective response to the

"Conceptual Framework for the University's Research Plan."

Carried.

The following individuals responded to a call for volunteers to serve on the committee:

1) Scott Pound

2) Pam Wakewich

3) Patricia Jasen

4) Aris Carastathis.

B. Strang asked the Committee to bring a report back to the next council meeting. The

final report would then be forwarded to Senate.

7. Faculty Council Meeting Schedule

It was moved by J. Leggatt and seconded by L. Di Matteo that the faculty

council meeting schedule for 2005/06 be approved with the following

changes:

i) the room for the April 7, 2006 meeting has been changed to ATAC 3004.

ii) an additional meeting may be required in December 2005, and

iii) a rescheduled meeting may be required in May 2006 to accommodate

graduand approval.

Carried.

8. SS&H Key Dates 2005-06

The key dates for 2005-06 were presented to council. It was noted that the faculty

key dates should include October 1^st which is the deadline for SSHRC applications.

9. Interdisciplinary HBA Motion

K. Fedderson spoke to the proposal with respect to transforming the general program

in Social Sciences and Humanities into an interdisciplinary program. He pointed to the poor quality of the current General BA program. Attempts to improve the quality have begun by raising the average for graduating students from 50 to 60%. Currently registered students have been given a six year grace period.

The Orillia campus which will be operational by fall 2006 will hopefully accommodate 250 students. The campus could serve as the introduction for the interdisciplinary program and form its foundation. This would allow the faculty the flexibility to create an interdisciplinary BA which could eventually replace the general BA. The Dean of Science and Environmental Studies is also looking at offering an interdisciplinary B.Sc. General program. The rationale behind the interdisciplinary BA is provided on page 1 of faculty council support document 4. A question period followed.

It was noted that M. MacLean is the current program coordinator for the general program. Consequently, there would be no increase in this year's budget. Class sizes for the Orillia campus would be limited to 20, 40 and 60. Funding issues were discussed. K. Fedderson noted that there were no clear answers yet regarding the implications of future costing, accounting, etc. for the program. However, offering such a program, would apply to courses delivered at Orillia only and the Interdisciplinary program could be the basis for a more focussed University degree. Debate continued.

It was moved by H. Smith and seconded by J. Siddall that Council reconsider

this motion at the next meeting.

Carried (1 Opposed).

10. Concurrent Education Motion

It was moved by K. Fedderson and seconded by B. Stolar that the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities would like to alter the curriculum in all Social Sciences and Humanities programs so that beginning in the Fall of 2006, only 1 FCE of "Pre-service" Education courses (specifically the series of courses Education designated as electives e.g. EDUC 3410, 3430, 3431, 3432, 3433, 3434, 3435, 3436, 3437, 3438, 2438, 3439, 3458, 3470) would be eligible for credit towards the BA or HBA.

This change would end the inconsistently-applied practice of crediting the professionally-oriented "Pre-service Education courses (1499, 2499, and 2499) towards any SS & H BA or HBA degrees.

Carried.

11. Course Caps - Dr. Ron Harpelle

T. Dunk had been asked to speak on behalf of Ron Harpelle.

K Fedderson pointed out that the Committee with regard to enrolment and management (R. Harpelle and P. Wakewich) had not yet met. J. Leggatt volunteered to serve if needed on this Committee. The recruitment and orientation committee (D. West, H. Smith) had also not met. Because these committees have not held a meeting, what the faculty wishes to accomplish has not yet been articulated.

Council continued on to the next agenda item.

12. Proposed Faculty of Graduate Studies

G. Boire spoke to the proposed Faculty of Graduate Studies. He outlined the history

behind the proposal and noted that it was built upon an earlier document in 2000.

The proposal has been approved at Senate Graduate Studies last year, referred to Senate,

the Senate Budget Committee and the Senate Academic Committee. He was now involved in a consultation process with a town hall meeting scheduled for October to allow for input from the various academic units, LUFA and other interested areas.

He also pointed out that the document was still open for revision and change. He welcomed input from all concerned and a question period followed.

There was discussion regarding the criteria for supervision of graduate theses and teaching loads. It was pointed out that there would be an annual review of graduate faculty and a list of eligible faculty would be provided. Where necessary, the Graduate Studies Committee would consider modifications to the criteria to handle unusual circumstances.

Discussion turned to research and faculty NSERC requirements. It was explained that this aspect could be rewritten or eliminated.

It was moved by G. Boire and seconded by P. Jasen that Council approve in principle the

the establishment of a Faculty of Graduate Studies at Lakehead University.

Carried (3 Abstentions)

13. Undergraduate Ethical Review

The support document was noted and there was no further comment.

14. Dean's Report

i Continuation Codes - Millo Shaw

M. Shaw provided an update to council on the state of continuation codes.

These are the codes assigned to students within a department who are

continuing in the program. Currently there are some problems with codes. Similar

codes have a different meaning in the differing faculties. This has created the following difficulties.

1) there is a computer system problem which is not set up properly to

assess what the status of the student is.

2) in administering the system, problems do not get caught until the

end of July and many students who should not go on, are allowed to

continue.

The Deans, Academic Advising and their staff are setting up a new comprehensive

coding that will:

1) ensure that the student history can be seen easily in the system

2) assign continuation codes clearly and consistently.

3) allow for special academic discretion due to special circumstances of the individual department and faculty.

By the end of this year, there will be a degree audit ready for review of transcripts and a system in place that will have the strategy to correct the problems of the past.

15. Departmental Reports

i Department of History

It was moved by P. Jasen and seconded by H. Smith that Dr. Geoff Hudson be approved

as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of History.

Carried.

ii Department of Philosophy

It was moved by R. Berg and seconded by H. Smith that Dr. Jaro Kotalik be renewed

as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Philosophy.

Carried.

Registrar's Report

B. Nelson stated that the enrolment numbers will support the budget for this year. Enrolment is FT = 6,668, (includes the Med School), and PT = 1,274. The current enrolment for Social Sciences & Humanities is 610 FT and 290 PT. This does not include the Concurrent Numbers. These will be sent out to S. Viitala who will then circulate them. B. Nelson said that any faculty member can call her for the most recent numbers at any time. She also stated that the interviews for Associate Registrar would take place soon, and that the Registrar's Office was very short staffed. All manual registration would be entered by the end of next week, (September 16 is the deadline). The question was asked about the availability of hard copy calendars. B. Nelson said there would be no more hard copy calendars and that the on-line calendar is the most up-to-date. The money saved from discontinuing them has gone to software and updates. Previous copies of calendars will be archived electronically. B. Nelson reminded us that minor programs are only in four year degrees and must be declared by the end of the second year. She is also working on a communication plan.

Dean's Report for Faculty Council

September 11, 2009 ATAC 5036

1. Distinguished Instructor Award: I am pleased to announce that Dr. Serajul Islam is the recipient of this year's Distinguished Instructor award.

2. Course evaluations this year. The Dean of Science and Environmental Studies and I have been talking about handling the course evaluations differently this year in order to save costs. We pay approximately $15,000.00 to have people facilitate the evaluations. Science and Environmental Studies just voted to change their procedure. Now a student will be asked to distribute the forms, collect them, seal them and return them to the Dean's office immediately after the class. I propose that we do the same.

3. H1N1 Protocols. I sent an email to Chairs and Directors last week indicating the protcols for a potential outbreak of H1N1 this year. I would encourage Chairs and Directors not only to forward that email to colleagues, but also to make this an agenda item at your next meeting.

4. Calendar changes. Calendar changes must be submitted in time for the January Senate meeting. That meeting is January 29 and the Senate Executive meeting at which the changes would come forward is January 15.

5. Setting up standing committees and having Chairs' meetings. I propose establishing a Chairs/Directors committee. I also propose establishing a standing committee to address Faculty issues related to research, one to address Faculty issues related to teaching; and one to address Faculty issues related to recruitment and promotion of the Faculty within the university and community. I also propose establishing an ad hoc committee to develop guidelines for hiring procedures for appointments at the Orillia campus.

6. Notification to Dean of Acting Chair/Director. Please remember to notify the Dean and the Dean's Assistant when you are going to be away and whom you are designating as the Acting Chair or Director in your absence.

7. Election of Faculty FGS Membership Committee. Election of FGS external reps. We need to elect three tenured faculty members who are members of FGS to sit on a membership committee. We also need to elect an external representative for this committee. This person must be a Graduate Co-ordinator of a program outside our Faculty, and is elected by full-time members of our Faculty.

8. Recruitment: The Office of Admissions and Recruitment has offered to meet with us as a Faculty and/or as individual departments to discuss recruitment strategies. I would like to invite the Acting Director to attend our next meeting. If you are interested in having her meet with your department or school, let me know.

9. Special Senate meeting this afternoon.

Respectfully submitted by Dr. Gillian Siddall, Dean, Social Sciences and Humanities.

V. Smith left at 2:50 and H. Smith took over role as Chair.

Interim Strategic Plan Committee

Discussion ensued.

It was moved by M. Beaulieu and R. Berg that an election be held to establish a steering committee for the development of a strategic plan for the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, to be comprised of one faculty member from each Department/School/Program, and the Dean. If no Orillia faculty member is elected as a representative for his/her Department/School or Program, the Orillia faculty member who receives the highest number of votes will be appointed to the committee.

Carried.

Departmental/School Reports

i) Calendar Changes - Department of Languages

It was moved by M.N. Rinn© and M. Beaulieu that the calendar changes be approved.

FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES COUNCIL

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2006

A meeting of the Faculty Council was held on Friday, September 15, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. in the ATAC Board Room 5035.

B. Strang called the meeting to order and called for nominations for the Chair of the Faculty Council.

T. Dufresne nominated V. Smith. V. Smith accepted the nomination.

It was moved by T. Dufresne and seconded by J. Leggatt that V. Smith assume the role of Chair of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Council.

Carried.

1. Approval of Agenda

It was moved by G. Hayes and seconded by M. Richardson that the agenda be approved.

Carried.

2. Presentation - Science and Environmental Studies Changes to Entrance Requirements. (Dr. Lesley Lovett-Doust). (Attachment)

V. Smith welcomed L. Lovett-Doust to Council.

L. Lovett-Doust distributed a summary of her presentation to members. She went on to explain the rationale behind the changes to the entrance requirements that were passed at the last Senate meeting (SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT).

It was moved by G. Hayman and seconded by M. MacLean that the Social Sciences and Humanities Faculty Council approve the entrance requirement changes passed by Senate at its last meeting on the condition that they are also passed by the Department of Psychology.

Carried.

3. Approval of the Minutes

It was moved by S.D. Stone and seconded by M. Richardson that the minutes of September 15th be approved with the following correction:

Under Attendance, "J. Sidall" should be changes to "G. Siddall."

Carried.

4. Business Arising from the Minutes.

There was none.

5. Introduction of New Colleagues.

B. Strang welcomed Emily Auger from the Visual Arts Department.

6. Faculty Council Meeting Schedule.

Council noted the schedule for meetings with no objections.

7. SS&H Key Dates 2006-07.

Council noted the key dates.

B. Strang pointed to the following:

.the drop/add dates for this year. According to a recent e-mail from the Registrar's Office, these dates would be more strictly enforced. Those students on waiting lists may have to reconsider their choices.

.the PTR date of September 30^th.

.the merit applications are due in the middle of October once again this year. The Merit Committee process has changed and members of the committee will be selected from the pool of merit applicants.

8. Dean's Report

B. Strang reported.

Decanal Search

B. Strang's term as Acting Dean will end on December 31^st. He will not apply for the post of full-time dean.

External applications for the position have been received and reviewed. Internal candidates are encouraged to apply to ensure that there is broad range of choice for the position.

ii)

Enrolment

Enrolment numbers are good. They seem to be up by a few hundred over last year's figures.

Our faculty has increased its first year student enrolment to 790. Last year at this time it was 750.

This year the university is in a better position for BIUs. The distribution is better and there are more students moving up in the programs.

Graduate enrolment is down by 10. It is expected that numbers will increase. An expansion of graduate programs is being encouraged as more government funding has become available for graduate programs.

iii)

Growth Positions

This year the university does not recognize replacement positions. Departments will have to provide strong arguments for new faculty. Because of the provincial funding policy, growth positions appear to be linked to graduate programs. The money from the province is directed towards the expansion of existing graduate programs and the creation of new ones. An increase in graduate enrolment will provide more money.

iv)

Modular Degree

L. Lovett-Doust and B. Strang are working towards developing a new set of calendar changes for combined majors. It is hoped that a new template will be created within the faculty to provide students with more options. This falls within the Academic Plan. A discussion followed.

Senate Teaching and Learning Committee Draft Report

G. Siddall informed Council that the report will be presented at the next Senate meeting with a number of recommended changes. B. Strang encouraged members to attend the next meeting of Senate and take an active role.

vi)

Durables Budget

Ideas about changes in the physical plan for the University such as labs for students, physical change to the university or alternative ways of using durables should be forwarded to the Dean. The application deadline for this money is October 2nd

vii)

Law School

A proposal to create a school of legal studies which would serve the northern region is well underway. It is expected that the formal proposal will be finalized this year. Discussion followed.

viii)

Budget

The budget process will not be the same as last year. There will be new criteria for allocating funds. There will be no decisions regarding budget before November 1^st. It will be after November 14^th that hiring or replacement decisions will be made.

Faculty chairs are currently meeting to discuss budget issues before putting their requests forward. There is currently no university policy in place with regard to replacements. Departments should be thinking about their request for growth positions now to assist with preparation for the budget process in mid-October.

9. Departmental Reports

i) Sociology Calendar Changes

It was moved by S.D. Stone and seconded by G. Hayman that the Sociology changes be approved.

Carried.

ii) Sociology Adjunct Professors

It was moved by S.D. Stone and seconded by G. Munro that Dr. Gary Boire, Dr. Jane Crossman, Dr. Harvey Lemelin and Dr. Raija Warkentin be approved as Adjunct Professors in the Department of Sociology.

Carried.

10. Other Business

Graduate Student Representative for the Graduate Studies Council

A faculty graduate student representative is required on the Graduate Studies Council. B. Strang asked Departments to provide names of student volunteers willing to serve. The Dean's office will coordinate a vote if necessary. The name of the chosen student will then be forwarded to Lynn Gollat of Graduate Studies.

ii)

Leadership Conference

B. Strang distributed a Lakehead University Leader Conferences publication. He noted that the Vice-President (Academic) has arranged for these presentations over the next five weeks on Tuesdays for approximately an hour and a half commencing at 12:30 p.m. Registration for those wishing to attend is required and can be done through Maria Dufresne at mdufresn@lakeheadu.ca.

ATTACHMENT

Covering notes on changes to admission requirements for Science and Environmental Studies and BSc/HBSc programs.

Lesley Lovett-Doust, Dean Science and Environmental Studies

1. Attached are some minor changes to the admissions requirements that will be used for the new issue of our view book and Info! magazine (for Fall 2007), as well as posted in the Lakehead University Calendar. These changes have been discussed in SES council and reviewed by the Department chairs.

2. The rationale for most of these changes is that we would like to be in line with the other universities in the province. Our entrance requirements are presently more specific than the others. For the most part we have moved to a pattern of "2 required, 2 from a list, 2 "open choice" U or M courses".

3. The entry requirements for the BA/HBA in Geography and in Anthropology are stated separately from offerings in the faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, so that students are aware of the BA option in these departments (the view book does make this clear, but the University Calendar does not at present).

4. Similarly the requirements for the BSc/HBSc in Psychology are listed separately from the other BSc/HBSc programs, again, to let these programs stand out from the other programs in the faculty of Science and Environmental Studies.

Points 3 and 4, above, provide greater visibility to programs that may in different universities be listed either in "Social Science" or "Science" categories or faculties.

In the attached material we first reprint the information that is presently on the University Calendar website. That is followed by an annotated edit using the "Track Changes" feature of MSWord.

Note: Grade 12U English is a requirement in all of our programs. For the present we are retaining requirements for Grade 12U calculus in most programs, but note that the High School Mathematics curriculum is in a state of flux, and it may be necessary to adjust the mathematics requirements should a final decision be made.

                                                                             Carried.

3.
Business Arising from Notes

None.

4.
Registrar's Report

B. Winter stated that convocation for the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities will take place Saturday afternoon. All Deans are encouraged to attend the ConEd graduation as in the past couple of years. This is seen as a positive move as the students are recognized in two faculties. The data for the timetable is in progress and should be finished before June 15, 2013. B. Winter stated that the enrolment numbers are flat and that we are holding our own. She also discussed three alternate dates for Senate meetings.

5.
Dean's Report for Faculty Council

1.   Deans are being asked to review their budgets:

a.   Reduction of sessional and contract lecturers
b.   Reduction of carry forward
c.   Low enrolment courses
d.   Raising enrolment caps.

While I think we have very little fat in our budgets, I do ask that you review your offerings and consider eliminating low enrolment courses unless there is a compelling reason for offering them. Clearly, though, one of the reasons we are relying increasingly on contract lecturers is that we have lost so many full time faculty members and with no concomitant increase in our contract lecturer budget.

Dean's Report for Faculty Council - continued

2.   Research and Innovation Week. I want to thank everyone who participated this
year. We had our best ever showing at the mall.

3.   Reminder to follow the Faculty policy on handling cases of academic misconduct. The time of year is approaching where these kinds of issues come up, and it is important that we handle them consistently within the Faculty. There are still a number of departments from whom I receive no complaints.

6.
Departmental/School Reports

i) History - External Adjunct - Dr. T. Tronrud

It was moved by M. Beaulieu and R. Berg that Dr. T. Tronrud be appointed as External Adjunct to the Department of History.

9.
Orillia Report

S. Kurissery reported that the PTR results were in and all renewals and one promotion were approved.
The undergraduate report was submitted and they were now preparing for the reviewers.
Research and Innovation week was very successful.

10.
Other Business

None.

11.
Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 9:45 am, moved by M. Beaulieu and J. Roth.

                            Carried.

Dean's Report for Faculty Council

January 7, 2010 - ATAC 5035

1. Budget: All of the deans have been asked to make a 3% cut. For our Faculty, that is $310,000. I'll be asking all Chairs to tell me what their sessional stipend needs are for next year, and to think about whether there is any room for cutting back there. I will also be asking Chairs to let me know what the implications would be if my sessional budget were cut and I was not able to provide as many stipends as this year. There is also still talk of hiring possibilities for this year, and so Chairs/Director should be ready to make a case for hiring needs in their departments/school.

2. Faculty of Graduate Studies Membership Committee. See attached for a list of faculty members who were elected to this committee.

3. Faculty Strategic Planning Committee. Now that the committee is elected, I would like to get started with meetings. Sue will contact the elected members for an initial meeting.

Respectfully submitted by Dr. Gillian Siddall, Dean, Social Sciences and Humanities.

Dean's Report

Dean's Report for Faculty Council

November 21 Noon ATAC 5036

1. Durables: Final Decisions have still not been made. Should be hearing in the next few days.

2. Campus Climate Survey: It was done electronically--very low response rate. The university is going to redistribute it in hard copy. Please take the time to fill it out.

3. Budget: There will be a Town Hall addressing the budget situation on December 3, and I encourage you to go. Laurie Hayes has been given her budget assignment by AEC--she has to cut $3.6 million from her overall budget, which is about 6%. That includes all of the faculty budgets. She has not yet given the Deans their budget assignments because she is still thinking about the best way to handle this. The encouraging news for us is that it seems she will not simply ask each faculty to make a 6% cut. She plans to meet with each Dean individually to talk about each of the faculty budgets, because she realizes that the faculties are not all equal in terms of their current resources. I believe that this way of proceeding will be advantageous for us, because we are already seriously under-resourced, and I think she knows that. However, we will have to make some cuts, and they will not be one-time cuts. Every university in the province of Ontario, and across the country is facing a similar situation. Our situation is this. We have a deficit this year of $3.6 million. That is largely because of a shortfall in graduate student enrollment. We know that costs are going to increase every year, largely because of salary increases, so if revenue doesn't also rise, which would be primarily through enrollment, we will be facing increasingly larger deficits. The projected deficits, if revenue remains flat, are $6.4 million for 2009/10; $10 million for 2010/11; $16 million for 2011/12; $18 million for 2012/2013 and $51 million for 2013/2014. Obviously we need not only to make cuts but also increase revenue. The $3.6 million deficit we face right now is equal to 360 new enrollments. So recruitment and retention are critical. Also, the Vice-President of Advancement is laying out a 7-year plan today to the Finance Committee of the Board of Governors. In the short-term, we need to look at where we can make cuts that don't compromise too seriously our ability to operate and to offer curricula and programs that maintain sufficient academic integrity. What I need from Chairs is a list of the minimum number of courses you can offer for the next academic year. You can give me more than one scenario. What I would like to do is meet with each Chair and talk in person about where cuts really can be made and where they really cannot be made. One thing Laurie has asked us to do is to look at the courses being taught by contract faculty next term that have low enrollments, to see whether that is a way we can save some money. That way I will be in a good position to talk to Laurie. The other thing for us all to be thinking about is ways to increase revenue. I am going to talk to John Smith about ideas he might have about how our Faculty could increase enrollment, and if you are willing and interested in participating in that, please let me know. I want to finish by saying that this does not necessarily mean that you should not make requests of me for money--there are some things we should be spending money on. We just need to very mindful of the spending decisions we make.

Respectfully submitted by Dr. Gillian Siddall, Acting Dean, Social Sciences and Humanities.
