The following motions were approved by Senate at its meeting on December 5, 2001:

THAT Senate approve the report of the Senate Committee on Medical Qualifications regarding Dr. Ian Gibson dated October 3, 2001.

THAT Senate approve the report of the Senate Committee on Curriculum and Course Changes dated October 1, 2001.

THAT Senate approve the proposed academic schedule for 2002-2003 (under cover of a memorandum from the Director of Student Records dated November 8, 2001).

THAT the minutes of the Senate meeting held on November 7, 2001 be approved as circulated/amended.

THAT Senate approve the report of the Senate Committee on Curriculum and Course Changes dated October 26, 2001 and the two reports of the Senate Planning and Priorities Committee dated November 13, 2001.

THAT Senate approve and recommend to the Board of Governors the proposal for an Arts co-op program (as endorsed by the report of the Senate Committee on Curriculum and Course Changes dated October 26, 2001 and subject to the report of the Senate Planning and Priorities Committee dated November 13, 2001).

THAT Senate approve the report of the ad hoc committee to consider issues relating to the academic schedule dated October 24, 2001.

THAT Senate approve and recommend to the Board of Governors the proposal to establish a Chair in Business Leadership.

THAT, subject to Board of Governors approval of the establishment of a Chair in Business Leadership, the Chair be named as the "CA Manitoba Chair in Business Leadership".

1. THAT Senate approve in principle and recommend to the Board of Governors the formation of a new Faculty to be responsible for teaching, research and service in the broad areas of the earth, the environment, sustainable development and resources as follows:

a) The name of the Faculty is at present unspecified, and may, in fact, be decided by the Faculty Council of the new Faculty, after approval by Senate.  For the purposes of this report, without prejudice to either proposal, it will be referred to by the working title: Faculty of the Environment (FE), using the one word in common in the titles of the two proposals.

b) This Faculty initially will include the present units of the Natural Resources Institute (NRI), retaining its name, the Departments of Geography and Geological Sciences, and the Environmental Science Program (EScP) as a Department or a School.  Faculty members of the above units are encouraged to join the new Faculty.  However no faculty member would be required to change his or her Faculty of appointment.

c) The FE should be as broadly interdisciplinary and inclusive as possible.  This can be achieved by inviting other faculty members in other departments of Arts and Science and of other Faculties, who have interest in teaching and/or research in the areas of earth, environment, sustainable development and resources, to join the Faculty either in full or in part (cross-appointment, joint appointment, or adjunct status).  Particular attention should be paid to the inclusion of biological scientists, social scientists, health scientists and humanists but not to the exclusion of others.

d) The FE, in keeping with its mandate of interdisciplinary study, will establish linkages as broadly as possible with other Faculties, including but not limited to Arts, Science Agricultural and Food Sciences, Engineering, Law, Medicine, and others as appropriate.

e) All courses, programs, degrees and diplomas currently offered by the units named in 1.b) will continue to be offered by these components of FE.  As the Faculty develops, it is encouraged to propose changes, deletions, additions of courses, programs, degrees and diplomas for approval by the usual process through Faculty Council, the Senate Committee on Curriculum and Course Changes, Senate, the Board of Governors, and COPSE, when appropriate.

f) An Interim Dean should be appointed from existing staff of the University as soon as the approval for the FE is obtained, and a full external search for a Dean with a vision for the future of the FE should be initiated one year after the founding of the Faculty.

2. THAT Senate recommend to the Board of Governors that resources be made available, in the short term, to establish the Faculty, with a Dean, any associate Dean(s), administration and student advisors. The Estimates for 2002/2003 sent to COPSE in September provides for funding to establish such a unit. In the longer term, additional transfer or funding to the new Faculty would be needed to allow it to develop and be able to hire new faculty.

3. THAT Senate recommend to the University administration that space, able to consolidate the FE into one or two spaces on campus, be provided in the University Campus Plan, and future fundraising endeavours. An application to the CFE for such requirements might be appropriate at some time after the FE has been established.
