8 Senate Priorities and Planning Committee Minutes of September 25, 2013 Agreement submitted to the Minister positioned the University very well in regards to the proposed differentiation framework. It was noted that assessment metrics for each of the elements of the differentiation framework were still a topic of some debate among institutions, particularly insofar as they were directed to outcome measures. Dr. Mancuso also observed that the government was still to clarify its intentions with regard to linking the differentiation framework and metrics to funding allocation. Overall, public policy objectives for outcomes driven funding continued to be unclear. The Provost informed the Committee that submissions from the University of Guelph would soon be submitted to respond to opportunities for government funding for innovation and enhanced efficiencies in the university sector. Elaboration was offered on the proposals that will be going forward that align with the University s Integrated Plan and, if successful, would advance curriculum re-design and provide enhancements to technology that would support use of blended learning and, in a multi-institutional context, infrastructure to measure and assess achievement of learning outcomes in the delivery of education. The Committee was also briefed on the plans for release of the Programs Prioritization Process (PPP) Task Force report on October 2, 2013 including subsequent presentations and discussions at Senate (October 9), a campus open forum (October 10), College-based meetings (October 25 through to November 29) and with employee and student groups. Dr. Mancuso emphasized that the report s presentation would be offered with information to review the context of the current financial climate for the University and the role of PPP recommendations in preparing the budget, up-dating the Multi-Year Plan to address the structural deficit and establishing overall reduction and/or re-investment targets for units across the University. Questions were invited. It was confirmed that the planned presentations would include opportunities for questions and comments. 4. Development of Senate Priorities for a) Committee Chairs Roundtable ( Priorities Setting) Dr. Murrant observed that almost all Senate standing committees had met during September and considered priority-setting for A table summarizing the priorities that have emerged to-date was circulated (attached). Each Committee Chair present briefly reviewed the priorities identified by their committee and elaborated on them in response to questions. Professor Duncan retired from the meeting.

9 Senate Priorities and Planning Committee Minutes of September 25, 2013 b) Recommendations for Senate Priorities Building from the information provided for each standing committee and referencing the Senate priorities, Committee members discussed the themes and specific policy and other outcomes of particular importance to Senate for The Committee observed that was focused on the essential work needed to be completed by Senate while the PPP was in progress and activity would build from this, resulting in a need for Senate discussion and action on initiatives that emerge for the University s Integrated Plan, as informed by information gathered through the PPP. In light of this, support was expressed for continued attention to the themes identified in with the underlying Senate activity up-dated to reflect evolving developments post-ppp. It was agreed that the presentation of the priorities should still incorporate an up-dated overview section. Reflecting on the Committee priorities in this light, Members observed a need to articulate the need for attention to measures that support internationalization and, in particular, increased international graduate student s activity. Anticipation of Senate activity linked to the outcome of the review of interdisciplinary programs and science programs was also identified. It was agreed that this should be incorporated into the recommended priorities, acknowledging that while action on recommendations related to interdisciplinary programs was likely in , it was more likely that actions arising from the review of science programs would not arise until With regard to continuing attention to increased student accessibility through pathways -related developments for academic programs, it was observed that saw good progress with programmatic and policy changes and that would call upon Senate to monitor whether these opportunities were being wellutilized and promoted so that they have the desired positive impact for students. The Chair expressed thanks for the input and discussion. It was agreed that a preliminary draft of the proposed Senate priorities would be prepared by the University Secretary and issued to SPPC members as soon as possible. Dr. Murrant indicated that feedback offered by in response to the preliminary draft would be used to finalize and approve a proposal for presentation to Senate at its meeting on October 9 th. It was confirmed that the proposed priorities would be presented in a format similar to that used in offering both a thematic and committee-by-committee presentation. 5. Chairs Reports & Upcoming Senate Agenda a) Committee Reports on Key Items for October Senate Chairs offered comments on key items coming forward from standing committees for decision or information at the next meeting of Senate (October 9, 2013). It was Page 3 of 5 Minutes of September 25, 2013 [Motion] Page 9 of 27
10 Senate Priorities and Planning Committee Minutes of September 25, 2013 agreed that a COU report was probably not needed at this meeting but would be included in future agenda. Discussion focused on the potential questions associated with the By-law revisions for the Petitions Committee that will be presented for Senate decision. It was also noted that the SCQA would advise Senate that the quality report for the Bachelor of Arts and Science program and the recommendations it contains were being referred to BUGS for its consideration. b) Review of October 9, 2013 Senate Agenda The Chair invited Committee discussion of the proposed October 9 th Senate agenda, particularly in light of it being the first opportunity for Senate discussion about the PPP Task Force report and its potential implications for the University s Integrated Planning process. Advice was sought on whether there would be value for Senate to receive the related presentations and hold its deliberations in closed session. It was noted that the University Administration was planning an open forum on the topic on the next day and would also be holding sessions with employee group leaders, student leaders and Colleges. There was some indication that community members were expressing significant interest in attending Senate and there was concern that priority for seating space be given to Senators. The Chair invited counsel from SPPC on how to proceed. Discussion followed. Members expressed strong support for an open meeting. Members expressed appreciation for the plans made by the Associate University Secretary to secure access to classrooms adjacent to the Senate meeting room and provision for related web-links to help in the event of a need for overflow seating. They encouraged proactive communication about the overall communications plan for the PPP report and its related implications for Integrated Planning, including communications that would help clarify and explain priority seating for Senators and availability of spaces for guests. It was confirmed that the meeting would be podcast in keeping with past practice. It was confirmed that the Chair would be well-prepared to manage the meeting should guests attend with expectations of speaking privileges. The potential for media attendance at the meeting was noted and members suggested that Senators be advised should this be the case. Generally, members felt strongly that the approach to this meeting should be in the vein of business as usual with a highlight placed on the overall Integrated Planning process, i.e., this was just one step in a multi-year, multi-faceted process that will follow normal governance processes.
