This report was prepared for the Federation of Students by the ad hoc committee on university governm en 1, composed of A. Neil Amason, grad math, Stephen P. Flott, history 4, Peter J. Warrian, sociology 2, Stephen W. Ireland (chairman), English 4. The report was unanimously approved in principle by Student Council of the Federation of Students on April 29, 1967. The report was unanimously app ro ve d, as presented, by the executive board of Student Council on May 8, 1967. It has been presented to the University of Waterloo study committee on university government. It will be discussed by that $ommi ttee Tuesday. (0 th er in teres ted groups around the university were also invited by the committee to submit briefs on what form they feel university government should take.) Here are major excerpts from the brief. Most of the introduction and quotations have been omitted for thesake of space. Full copies may be obtained from the Federation of Students office.

. ..The Federation of Students feels that before presenting any recommendations to the COl-llllIk~, fth paramount that the committee members gain some understanding of our concept of the university, so that when it considers these proposals it will do so on the basis of our total presentation... The definition of theuniversity of Waterloo which underlies this presentation on student participation in its government is: the Univert sity of Waterloo is an academic community of the 1960s occupied with the “search for tr~th”~ It is made up of its faculty, students and upper level administrators who form the government of that instiThis university *s most imtution. portant job is the provision of the very best education possible for those who attend and not simply the education of the very largest number which appears. The University government must seek to instil in the minds of its members an understanding of, and a desire to participate in, the radical activity of learning and searching, in addition to providing them with thenecessary technical, administrative or scholarly skills which will fit them for positions in society.

The ‘Preliminary report on university government’ prepared by the joint committee on university government, and published March 24, 1966, concluded with this statement: The problem is perennial in all governmental systems --the problem of devloping and maintaining an efficient and workable set of relationships between those whomake or should make policy, those who administer it and those who are affected by it. And the efficiency of these relationships must ultimately be measured in the light of thepurposes the system is intended to serve. ..&I a recent appraisal of higher ducation in Ontario~ Tram thesixties to the seventies’, the authors state, “It is fair to say that in recent years students have beenmuch more concerned with questions relating to the general welfare and status of the student than were the students of the ‘50s”. The report alludes to the initiative shown by student organizations such as the Canadian Union of Students, the Ontario Union of Students and Campus Cooperative Re‘sidences Incorporated and commends the contributions these bodies have made. The report continues: “Perhaps the most significant development

has been the growing preoccupation of students with their status in the university and their relationship to the government of a university”. One need only listen to student discussions to realize that “the university” is viewed as something other than themselves and their tolleagues, as something alien to them, and if they act in a disinterested and occasionally hostile way, it is because of a lack of a sense of mutual goals and feeling of community. If the academic community we desire is to become a reality, students must feel that they play a vital role in the operation of the university. We can see only benefits to the university from whole-hearted, responsible student participation. In addition to the improvement of campus climate, we see the advantage of a wider spectrum of viewpoints from which policy decisions may be drawn. And it is only appropriate that there should be significant participation in university government by the largest segment of the university community in the interests of a more democratic government. Representing, as it does, a significant change in the concept of university government, there will be objections raised to the changed status of the student: 1. The turnover rate of students precludes terms of office long enough for the experience presumed necessa iy for policy evaluation. While it may be truethat students are unlikely to serve more than two years, in most cases, we submit that this has little to do with the quality of student participation. We recognize that students will in general be more naive and uninformed as to the background and polemics of the various governing bodies, However, this must not be confused with a student’s ability to comprehend and analyze the issues which these bodies must deliberate upon, It is requisite that more permanent members of these bodies realize this and show a willingness to fill in necessary background details, but, more important, to appreciate the student contribution for what it important, to appreciate the student contribution for what it is most aptly capable of: the propounding of a legitimate and representative point of view and the injection of frank and new ideas, Short terms and a certain lackof experiencemay qualify the role of the student, but they certainly do not preclude it. have ins uffident 2. Students tfllle. While we appreciatethis concern, we suggest that many students already involve themselves deeply in a wide range of activities and that it is evident that students can find as much time as faculty members or outsiders to prepare for and participate in university decisionmaking. 3. Delicacy and confidence, We submit that students will be as discreet as any other participant: provided they see themselves as real members rather than special delegates or reporters. If students sit as full and integral members, they will naturally respond to the situation appropriately, behave like other members, and not feel compelled to “report” to their constituents “.

. ..We recommend the establishment of a single-tiered governing structure: a senate--a council of approximately 60 persons, mainly from the university community itself. We recommend, in addition, an assembly--a comprehensive body representative of all areas in the university and society. The Senate would represent the single, ultimate governing and legislative source, the Assembly existing to

expand the university’s contacts to serve as a review body.

and

‘The assembly One of the major premises of the Duff-Berdahl Report is that “universities need windows to the outside world which will make them sensitive to important public needs and which will involve a wide variety of persons from theouter community in university affairs “. Accordingly, we suggest the creation of an assembly, similar totheBritish “university court”. The assembly would serve two important functions, the first two of three outlined by the Robbins Report when discussing the value of the court: “First, they provided a convenient opportunity for the- university to report formally to thepublic on the progress of university work and to receive in return comment and criticism. Secondly, statuteS needed to be approved and proposals for charters and amendments of charters put forward by someone other than the councils and senates, if only because the divisions of powers and responsibilities between councils and senates had itself tobe determined by some higher body.” The assembly would meet once or twice a year to receive thefinancial accounts and other reports on the work of the university, to elect the chancellor, and to ratify the appointments of university officers appointed by the senate. COMPOSITION

OF

THE

ASSEMBLY

The assembly would be very large - anywhere from one hundred to three hundred persons, with members drawn from among the following sources: a. The senate b. President and his administrative group c. University alumni da F acuity councils e. Benefactors of the university f, Provincial party leaders g. Local authorities h. Local school administrators i. Teachers’ organizations j, Local chambers of commerce k. Local labor organizations 1. Churches of the maindenominations lm. National learned societies n. National professional institutes

The

senate

We have already asserted theirnpossibility. of separating academic and financial matters in theoperatm ing of the university. We see the functions of the board of governors 8 primarily.those of fund-raising and financial management, as growing less and less important as the university derives more and more of its income for both operating and capital expenses from governmental sources ..@ These governmental sources are relying more and more on the advice of committees such as the Committee of Presidents and theAdvisory Committee on University Affairs, which lessenthefiscaldirec* tion of the boards of governors of all Ontario universities 0 We recognize thatfund-raisingis still a necessary funcdon of the governing body. of the university and recommend the formation of a special committee of the senate which would add a large number of persons from the community (persons who would already bemembers of the assembly) to broaden its base of appeal for funds. Also, other “estate management” functions of the board such as the letting of contracts, the purchase of land, the short-term investment of money, and so forth, could be handled by senate committees with some membership drawn from the assembly. We feel that planning for theUniversity of Waterloo can be satis.

factor-fly accomplished by the president’s council on university planning and development. In the future, this council is envisaged as reporting to the senate for enactment of those proposals which the senate sees fit to carry out and finance. This is a natural consequence of the senate’s ultimate jurisdication as legislator anddirector of funds, We foresee the institution of a semi-independent body between the university and the government, a grants commission as requested by the Committee of Presidents and the Ontario Union of Students as an indispensable buffer between the university and the government. In this case (or, in fact, in the present situation) we feel that a reconstituted senate would prove just as efficient in communication between the two bodies. Given that this responsibility lay with the new senate, the other responsibilities of the board could be assumed also by the senate. The board committees other than the finance committee-executive, building and grounds, constitution and personnel committees-either would be unnecessary or would be committees of the Senate. Further , we note the comment of the faculty association’s ‘Report on University government’ of January 1965 which states: “The present Board does not meddle with theExecutive,...de facto the executive is held accountable to the public by the Ontario government, which has often used university grants as a policy-making instrument. But the de jure power rests with the board.” A senate committee on development could do no worse. COMPOSITION OF THE SENATE-EX-OFFICIO The chancellor The president, vice-presidents,

registrar, provost, librarian, head of ancillary operations, director of university extension The dean of each faculty or school of the university The principal or head of each federated and affiliated co& ege The president of the federadon of students The president of the faculty association -ELECTED Three members of the teaching staff from each of the major faculties One member of the student community from each of the major faculties One member of the teaching staff from each of the federated schools and insticolleges, within the university tutes which offers courses leading to a degree One student from each of thefederated colleges, schools and institutes within the university which offers courses leading to a degree Six members of the assembly. The members of the teaching staff and student members would be elected by their constituency the teaching staff for three-year terms I the students for two-year terms. The members of theassembly would be elected by the assembly f or overlapping three-year terms. In recommending representation of students from eachfaculty,federated college, school and institute, we are following the same pattern as we recommend for faculty representation.. We feel that students, like faculty, are different from each other as well as different from other members of the community.

We feel that student representation which de rives from any other s election than direct election by associates in the same faculty, etc.,(such as by appointment by Student Council or campus-wide elections) would force the student member to feel a direct responsibili~ to the Student Council and act as a pleader for special causes rather than participating as a member of the whole academic community. We hope s tudent members of any governing body would see their role as members whose responsibility is to consider the views of their constituents, but to use their owndiscretion in reaching decisions. The senate would be responsible for making all the main decisions in the university. We concur with Dr. Bissell”s proposal on the main areas for decision of this body: a. The annual operating budget b. Capital appropriation and appointment of architects c. Establishment of new courses, divisions, schools and college d. Admission requirements e. Control of enrollment f . Cooperative activities with other universities g. Relationship with federated ins dtutions h. Student aid and services i. Associated enterprises EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE SENATE The executive committee would consist of the president, vice-presidents, registrar (secretary), the deans of faculties, and four other voting members of the senate, elected at large. OTHER

COMMITTEES THE SENATE

Since committees

OF of the senate

perform many fact-finding and sfmilar functions for the senate, and since these committees affect students, it follows that students should be represented on most comrnittees. We would expect that thepresent committees of thesenatewould continue to serve and wouldinclude students isl their membership. Thus, insumrnary, weproposeinvesting in the senate complete control of academic matters and of the disbursement offundsnecessaryfor the development and operation of the university...

The department Cooperation and joint participation in university government must begin at the departmental level, for it is here that the feeling of membership in the academic community must be inculcated. Students, particularly as they reach their senior years and as graduate students, must be encouraged to take part in the learning process--not merely willing to be lectured at and to grind out assignments. We strongly urge the redefinition of the “department” to include not only teaching staff, but the students registered in> the department. We urge increased cons ultation between students and faculty in the classroom itself, about teaching and examination methods and course emphasis. In matters of the curriculum, we recognize the principle that professors with their increased experience and breadth ofknowledgeare ultimately responsible, for what is taught. This is particularly truein the science and applied arts. However, students may have ideas about course content, may wish to make

recommendations about courses of study and programs and may wish to see courses upgraded, or made more or less intensive. No one will disagree that it is important that these opinions be made known within the department. We view this communication as being sufficiently important that we strongly urge FORMAL provision be made to en- , sure that much of this opinion which might otherwise not be aired within the department receive hearing. We feel that this can be done by having a number of students invited to sit in at regular intervals (but not necessarily all meetings) at the department meetings * and that these members be urged to take part in those department committees on a similar basis where they can contribute their ideas not only on curricula and teaching, but on facilities which the department should provide...

hxdty

councils

We see a vital role for the faculty councils in recommending to the Senate courses of study, the conduct and results of examinations, admission requirements, etc. We recommend retaining the present membership (i.e. all teaching staff in a given faculty) with the addition of student membership. Since the basic constituency for any student is the department(s) of which he is a member, we suggest that there be one student representative per depa rtment , with additional representatives added as thestudent registration increases. Representatives would be elected by the students registered in the department (i.e. only 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year students would have a vote). The term of office would be two years... Friday,

When you think of theFirst World War, you think of the trenches and the great aerial dogfights with herOS such as the Red Baron, Mitchell and Taylor. The era of the airplane as as an important military weapon was ushered in. For the British, another era was ended. As a result of the great Zepppelin raids, the British Isles were no longer an island fortress. Mathy, Strasser , and Samson were the heroes of this battle. The book outlines the development of the Zeppelin as amilitary weapon for Germany and the defenses put up by the British to guard against this threat. Whitehouse has tried to write a technical book in the form of a novel. A technical subject does not readily lend itself to this treatment and this book provides no exception. The end result is a chronological account of the development of the Zeppelin dirigible and an account of some of the defensive measures taken against this threat, In attempting to be a novel, the book just does not measure upa As a technical book it is lacking in detail.

about themselves. When necessary, the interviewers asked questions which would aid the nurses to speak freely. These nurses were then given a battery of psychological tests, the results of which were compared with the interviewer’s opinions. Twelve nurses were interviewed. Each case constitutes a separate chapter.

Anothet fascinating discovery was that different groups of people do have unique characteris tics which can be recognised when they are found in analysis. This book provides an intriguing insight into the methodology ofpsychology . It is suitable for extra reading in various courses, or as an entertaining and informative diversion for someone not particularly interested in this field.

A rather unusual form was used in these chapters. The chapters contain direct quotes, summaries of what the nurses said, questions the interviewers asked and comments and conclusions by theinterviewers.

Most of the works concerning psychoanalysis discuss people who are considered to be mentally ill. In this book, the authors have decided to study people who are looked upon as being normal.

This book is basically a historical study of the principles of war. It purports to find the relationship between early military commands and later systems of war. Commenting on the Schlieffen Plan the author writes: “Basically, by 1914, the German system was Spartan in type and amounted to a wall of advancing men without any specific reserve. The French system was Roman-type--a lighter front leading a heavy rear? The author has looked at the entire sweep of military history and concluded that because one great military leader used a tactical or organizational device of a type similar to that of a leader of a previous age, he was influenced primarily by his forerunner in his decision. To reach such a conclusion is to commit a grave error of reasoning.

Only Canadians could be capable of the dull-gray type of celebrations that have graced this Centennial year. The only bright spot has been the publication by two enterprising young men of “Now show me your belly-button !” This book is a collection of news pictures with cartoon-type balloons added so that eminent persons appear to be making asses of themselves. My initial reaction was that this book was just another example of the drivel that passes for North American humor but as I reread (sic) it, the book grew on me and I now am convinced that it is the funniest thing I have read in a dog’s age. The book suffered a stroke of bad luck with the death of GovernorGeneral Vanier but the pictures involving him have been replaced. I would say that at a cent and a half per laugh, this book is the best buy for a buck in ‘67.

It is not the ability of a general to pick the minds of those who went before him, but rather the ability of a general to use old ideas in new contexts that produces great captains.

There always seems to be a considerable market for books tell&g of the instruments of war, and here we have yet another. The authors have made a historical survey of tanks and tank destroyers from the beginning of the use of armour to the present. The book is reasonably good as far as such things go. The photographs and line-drawings are of good quality in most cases. The center-spread of silhouettes is very good indeed and there is an interesting table of comparison at the back of the book. The data is completely up to date and includes tanks of the 60s. One wishes however that the seven pre-World War II tanks had been omitted in favor of some of the more interesting later models. All in all, a very good book for war buffs.

These two books illustrate why the British will never break into the world science-fiction market. Russell is a declining author returned to England after having had considerable success in the American market in the 1950s. In fact he could have been considered one of the ten greatest of the period, with his works displaying a degree of humor often lacking in his fellow authors. This work suffers from the fact that it is supposedly set in the United States while its characters, all use British idioms. The plot does not even seemvery original: a scientist is forced to flee a defense project because he has been brainwashed into thinking he is a wanted criminal. The book further suffers because Russell’s concepts of security procedures seem to date back to the 1940s. Of course, the most offensive part of the book is its title which

uses a well-known quote in the wrong i=ontext . Susan Cooper’s book is in the apocalyptic tradition of such British writers as Wheatly and Bullard. In this case, the planet Earth decides to rid itself of a human race which has set off too many nuclear devices. .

University students have discovered power. From the war until the sixties, students in North America played a largely passive role, both ineducadon and society. They accepted an educational system designed for them by their seniors, and while they talked endlessly--as students always have--about the shortcomings of society, they did notpresume to do anything. I do not need to tell you the outlook of students has changed markedly. This outlook is the product of a minority of opinion-makers, but this minority shows itself to be overwhelmingly activist. In civil rights, in opposition to nuclear arms and to the war in Vietnam, in American and Canadian organizations, students have become involved in the larger world. But they have also become involved in the university. The student revolt at Berkeley has already been enshrined in history. University administrators across the continent on both sides of the border, ask themselves if it canhappen here, and sleep less well at nights. And it can happen here and everywhere. For as educators have become increasingly concerned with graduate students, as professors hatre become increasingly: con-’ cerned with serving as consultants to government and businesss and as administrators have become increasingly concerned with thesheer mechanics of running their multiversities, undergraduates have become a depressed and neglected class. But if past neglect of students has been inexcusable, it would be equally inexcusable to react inpanic,and concede to students a share in the fundamental organs of university government. Students have no place on academic senates or on boards of governors. The role of the student compares with that of the trainee, the novice,

or the apprentice--even the child. The successful student is brought into educational equality with his instructors s but he does not begin as an equal. It is a failure in common courtesy not to inform the student about university decisions and policies. It is a failure in common sense not to consult the student about the effect of these policies, and his view of possible changes. But the responsibility for the policies and the changes must rest with the educaters . Not only are students in the Pasition of trainees, but they are also Nothing is more ephetransients. meral than the student world. Its temporal horizons are strictly&-nited--an almost absolute unawareness of the actual past life of the university, and a very hazy view of the university’s future beyond graduation of the present student generadon, These IimitadOnS alonewo~d make direct student participation in university government undesirable. Many persons in the academic es tablishment seek to deny the students not only a vote but also a Believing that students voice. should be seen but not heard, they panic whe n students seek to run serious extra-curricular acdvlties, to evaluate the educational-and social effect of the university, and to recommend changes in goals and in methods. Such academic paternalism breeds and justifies the students ’ demands for power. Instead ofthis obsolete attitude, what is needed is recognition that the student is also . the lea&g critic of university and society. Because the student is not yet absorbed into the institutions ofsociety and not yet fully aware of how facts compromise ideals, he ,is in the best position to cast a skeptical eye on the pretensions of educators and other decisionmakers. ‘1’0 share power is to share responsibility . If students were to receive a vote as well as a voice in the affairs of university and society, they could no longer serve as independent critics. But if they are denied both a vote and a voice, then they can only return to the role of passive consumers --or become social revolutionaries.

A framework- for the future Well done! This is the only way to describe the Federation of Students’ brief on university government at the University of Waterloo. --: - - We are glad that someone has finally come out and said what had to be said. The recommendations of the brief, if implemented. would mean a revolution in the way the University of Waterloo is governed. . The report mocratization the university.

deof

It calls for direct elections to an allpowerful senate that would eliminate the need for that band of tired men, the board of governors. It calls for restoring academic priority over administrative departments. Participation by students is a key concept in the Federation submission: participation in the government of the university, participation in the faculty councils and participation in the deciof individual sion-making processes departments. If this participation ever comes about

it will have a healthy effect on the student body. Gone will be the feeling of alienation that plagues students. No longer will there be the feeling that the student is powerless to control his fate. Now the students are faced with the possibility of taking their place as responsible members of the university community. Of course one may quibble with various parts of the brief. It may be said that the long introduction (five of 16 pages) is turgid and shows more in.tellectual pretensions than intellectual ability. The section on the assembly will be called vague (but little original thought has been done in this area by anyone in Canada). Despite these minor criticisms, this admirable document will continue to stand as an example of the fine work done by the people involved in the Federation. We urge that the university senate’s committee on university government adopt this brief as the framework and guide for the report which it will bring down.
