Monday, April 14, 10:30 am, on Zoom

At this meeting, FAS members will vote on the Motion Regarding the Removal of Seats from the Faculty of Arts and Science. Our discussion of the April 7 meeting, where this motion was brought from the floor, explains the issues at stake.

The motion reads as follows: “Faculty Board of Arts and Sciences advises the Senate not to approve the Strategic Enrolment Management Group’s proposal to remove 200 seats from the Faculty of Arts and Science until:

a) the Bicentennial Vision has been approved and articulates a coherent university strategic vision;

b) a comprehensive cost-benefit-revenue analysis of such an allocation has been presented to Senate;

c) a proposal for revision of the budget model has been agreed that accounts for cross-faculty redistribution (including through equitable cross-faculty teaching payments and new interdisciplinary/cross-faculty degrees).” 

This will be the sole item on the agenda.
