PROPOSAL 8-63

GRANTING OF DEPARTMENTAL STATUS

 

Resolution Number One

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED in the light of all these studies that the Administration be urged to give careful consideration to the request of any appropriate disciplines such as those within the Humanities and Social Studies to be granted departmental status if and when the curricula and the number and scholarly standing of the staff of a particular discipline, as well as student demand therein, shall justify such status, and as soon as the Administration shall determine that personnel and budgetary problems can be solved.

Resolution Number Two

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the University administration be requested to encourage the Sault Ste. Marie branch, through appropriate investigation comparable to that being undertaken by the Long-Range Planning Committee at Houghton, to evolve proposals for the kind of departmental organization and the curricula which are best suited to meet the needs of the staff and the students at Sault Ste. Marie.
