Senate Agenda - EXHIBIT III, November 16, 2001
FOR APPROVAL
Recommended: That, effective September 1, 2002, a new Western/Fanshawe Collaborative Program in Media Theory and Production be introduced, leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Media, Information and Technoculture offered by the Faculty of Information and Media Studies of the University and a Diploma in Media Theory and Production offered by the College.
NEW CALENDAR COPY
WESTERN/FANSHAWE COLLABORATIVE DEGREE/DIPLOMA IN MEDIA THEORY AND PRODUCTION
Admission Requirements
Admission to the program is through the University of Western Ontario and requires meeting the standards of admission to the University. Students must enroll at the University for their first year as MIT-designated students.
Thirty students will be admitted to the second year of the program. Students will be evaluated for admission based on their academic standing by a joint committee from the two institutions. Attainment of minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission. Entry to the program is competitive on the basis of academic achievement. Ten students will be admitted to each of the program's three streams: Broadcast Journalism, Multimedia Production and TV Production. These stream selections will be indicated on the students' transcripts. Students will rank their preferences, and the ten best selecting each stream will be admitted. Students are not guaranteed to receive their first choice rankings.
Students who have applied to the collaborative program directly in first year will be given priority for admission to the second year. If the collaborative program is not filled from these students, other MIT students may then be considered for admission. The joint admissions committee will review requests for Advanced Standing on a case-by-case basis.
Those students not offered a spot in the second-year collaborative program will be considered for continuation in the Bachelor of Arts in Media, Information and Technoculture, providing they are meeting academic progression requirements, or may apply to a Fanshawe College diploma program.
Progression Requirements
Students must maintain an overall weighted average of 68%, with no more than 1.0 unsatisfactory attempt in 5.0 full course equivalents in any given academic year.
Withdrawal
If, after first year, students wish to continue only in the MIT program, they will be permitted to progress into the second year of the three or four-year degree, provided that they have maintained a suitable academic average and that progression requirements have been met.
If, after subsequent years, students wish to withdraw from either the Fanshawe or UWO portions of the degree/diploma, they should consult with the academic advisor for the program in the institution to which they wish to transfer to determine which credits may be applied in a transfer to another program within one of the participating institutions.
Upgrading
Upon completion of the degree/diploma, students wishing to upgrade to a four-year university degree must complete no fewer than five senior MIT courses and maintain progression requirements to complete an MIT four-year degree.

Background:
The Joint/Degree Diploma Program in Media Theory and Production is a collaborative venture of the University of Western Ontario and Fanshawe College. The program is intended to produce students who are articulate, informed and critically aware of the roles of media in society, and at the same time skilled in the hands-on techniques and processes related to specific communications technologies.
The program encompasses four full years. Successful students receive the equivalent of both a three-year Bachelor of Arts degree in Media, Information and Technoculture and a two-year College diploma.
Students enroll for a full first year at the University, at the end of which they are considered for admission to the degree/diploma program. If admitted, students must choose one of three areas of study for the diploma:
Broadcast Journalism: Students will gain career training in broadcast journalism, including research, interviewing, newsgathering and writing, computer assisted reporting, and radio and TV broadcast journalism production and management.
Multimedia Design and Production: Students will gain the practical, creative, and communication skills necessary to outline, plan, design, and develop multimedia projects, from simple presentations to fully interactive multimedia applications.
TV Production: Students will gain career training in television technical operations and/or production. Course content includes broadcast and technical operation, studio production, ENG/EFP production, computer graphics, post-production editing, copywriting, scriptwriting, and sales and marketing for television.
Students who graduate with the collaborative degree and diploma could be employed in a wide range of positions such as: Web Site Designer/Developer, Motion Graphics Specialist, Multimedia Developer, Art Director, Multimedia Project Manager, Radio Newscaster/Reporter/Sportscaster, Announcer, TV Weather Presenters, Sports Reporter, TV News Videographer/Producer/Editor, TV News Anchor/Announcer, or Web Content Provider.
Alongside these career skills, the collaboration with Western's Media, Information and Technoculture program enables students to develop an awareness of the wider cultural, economic and social issues surrounding media and information technologies, creating information age artisan-citizens.

Background:
This proposal is motivated by three factors:
1) There is a considerable market demand both within Canada and internationally for personnel with medical physics training, driven by the growing use of physics-based diagnostic techniques (example: magnetic resonance imaging) and therapies (example: electron irradiation for cancer treatment).
2) London has a strong presence in the medical sciences, due to the juxtaposition of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, the Department of Medical Biophysics, Robarts Research Institute, the London Health Sciences Centre and the London Regional Cancer Centre.
3) The basic scientists from Oncology, Diagnostic Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Biophysics would welcome a stronger and more substantial applicant pool for their graduate training programs.

Background:
The addition of this program will increase the range of program offerings, allow students to extend their studies for a further year at a more advanced level, and provide students with a program that is more widely recognized than a three-year degree program (i.e., education colleges).
Recommended: That Senate approve the establishment of a collaborative graduate program in Biostatistics, effective January 1, 2001.
Background:
A collaborative graduate program is an offering involving two or more OCGS and Senate approved graduate programs. Western currently has four collaborative graduate programs: Environmental Sciences, Molecular Biology, Scientific Computing and Theoretical Physics. Students in a collaborative program obtain their degree in the discipline of their home program along with a specialization in the area of the collaborative program. For example, a PhD student who has been admitted into the graduate program in Applied Mathematics can also apply to be admitted into the collaborative program in Theoretical Physics; his or her degree would then be a PhD in Applied Mathematics with a specialization in Theoretical Physics. The degree diploma would designate the degree as "PhD in Applied Mathematics (Theoretical Physics)".
The proposed Biostatistics collaborative program involves the participation of the following OCGS and Senate approved graduate programs: Epidemiology & Biostatistics, and Statistics.
Biostatistics is the area of Statistics concerned with medical, biological and agricultural applications. It is currently a very active area of statistical research. The proposed collaborative program, which will combine epidemiological and medical subject matter with a strong grounding in statistical theory and methodology, will be directed towards students who are preparing for a career as a biostatistician in government, industry or academia.
Students in the proposed collaborative program would graduate with one of the following designations on their diploma:
MSc in Statistics (with specialization in Biostatistics)
PhD in Statistics (with specialization in Biostatistics)
MSc in Epidemiology & Biostatistics (with specialization in Biostatistics)
PhD in Epidemiology & Biostatistics (with specialization in Biostatistics)
In addition to meeting the course requirements of the home graduate program, students in the Collaborative Program must undertake research in the area of Biostatistics and take the following courses:
Epidemiology 511 (Biostatistics II)
Epidemiology 512 (Biostatistical Methods)
Statistical Sciences 542 (Advanced Data Analysis)
plus one of the following:
Statistical Sciences 540 (Design and Analysis of Experiments
Statistical Sciences 541 (Survey Sampling)
Statistical Sciences 544 (Consulting)
Statistical Sciences 546 (Linear Models)
Statistical Sciences 559 (Statistical Computing)
Actuarial Sciences 504 (Estimation of Actuarial Models)
The program will be administered by a Collaborative Program Committee consisting of a faculty member from each of the two home programs. Prospective Students will be first admitted to the home graduate program and then considered by the Collaborative Program Committee for admission into the Collaborative Program.
This proposal for a Collaborative Graduate Program was approved by the Internal Appraisals Committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies on May 22, 2001, following consideration of a written proposal, and a report on the proposal written by a representative of the Theoretical Physics Collaborative Program, and a meeting with the program proposers. Submission to OCGS was approved by SCAPA on June 13, 2001. The program was approved to commence by OCGS at its meeting of October 26, 2001, following a review of a brief describing the program's proposal by the Appraisal Committee of OCGS.
Recommended: That the statement regarding prerequisites be revised to read as highlighted below:
REGISTRATION/COURSE SELECTION (S.99-154, S.01-73b)
Full-time and part-time studies are available...during the course registration period.
Students are responsible for ensuring that their selection of courses is appropriate and accurately recorded, that all course prerequisites have been successfully completed, and that they are aware of any antirequisite course(s) that they have taken. If the student does not have the requisites for a course, and does not have written special permission from his or her Dean to enroll in the course, the University reserves the right to remove the student from the course and to delete it from the student's record. This decision may not be appealed. A student will receive no adjustment to his or her fees in the event that he or she is dropped from a course for failing to have the necessary prerequisites.
The final date for registration is the last day of....
Background:
When the PeopleSoft system was introduced it was recognized that UWO no longer had the ability to check on whether or not a student had taken a prerequisite for a course. Consequently, a statement (p. 17 of the UWO 2001 Academic Calendar) was approved by Senate that warned students of the need to take responsibility for checking that they had any necessary prerequisite.
In general this statement appears to have had the necessary effect. However, Associate Deans and Counselling Offices have encountered situations in which a student has either not known, or has ignored, the prerequisite requirement, and remained in a course, failed that course and then demanded, on the basis of the phrase, "will be withdrawn", that the course be removed from their record. It is clear that this was not the intent of the warning statement. The proposed phrasing of the statement allows discretion in relation to the approval or denial of such a request for withdrawal on the basis of not having taken a prerequisite.
The proposed wording also alerts students to the need to recognize antirequisite courses in their record.
FOR INFORMATION
SCAPA has created an ad hoc Subcommittee on Undergraduate Program Reform (SUPR) to review the structure of current undergraduate degree programs and proposals for changes to them in order to have them fit the matrix for undergraduate programs outlined in the proposal approved by Senate for the "Reform of the Undergraduate Program" (S.01-48).
The following process for streaming submissions through SUPR was approved by SCAPA:
1. Proposals for changes to individual programs will be forwarded to SUPR via e-mail to the Associate Secretary of Senate <lecline@uwo.ca> following a standard format. Information regarding the format and the status of the work of SUPR will be linked to the Academic Handbook website: http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/SUPR/
2. As soon as possible after receipt of the program proposal, the Associate Secretary will post it on the website on a list of "proposed" programs for examination by the members of SUPR and the university community. Comments/concerns about proposed programs may be directed by e-mail to SUPR via the Associate Secretary.
3. Since deans, department chairs and academic counsellors are e-mailed twice monthly regarding DAP (Deans: Academic Programs) approvals, the DAP mailing list will be informed at the same time of the list of proposals received by SUPR. The mailing list is maintained by the Associate Secretary (who is also the DAP administrator).
4. Following approval of the proposal by SUPR, the program will be moved from "proposed" to the "approved" section of the list and maintained there since approved program changes may affect/be affected by ongoing proposals from other Departments and Faculties.
Background:
The "Reform of the Undergraduate Program" document approved by Senate in March 2001 refers to the implementation of the new structure for undergraduate programs as follows:
Implementation
Upon approval of this new structure by Senate, the Provost would consult with the Deans and bring forward a plan for its implementation, including a statement of resources to be devoted to the transition.
In the transition period SCAPA would form a task force to work with department representatives to adapt their programs to this structure. It is understood that, even though this structure has been very carefully devised, with much consultation, it may have to be altered in places as it encounters the complex realities of implementation.
The expected implementation date is September 2004.
The creation of the Subcommittee will set in motion the daunting task of reviewing all undergraduate programs forwarded from Departments and Faculties with a view to ensuring that the programs fit the new design. Since the bimonthly process for DAP approvals (see http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/general/dapproc.html) involves informing deans, department chairs and counsellors, a process is in place to let this group know about new proposals which have been received. Because of the quantity of information and the large number of people who receive DAP information, it is not recommended that the actual DAP process be used since it would burden the system. Instead, proposals for changes to programs will be posted for review by the university community on an ongoing basis. However, it is the responsibility of Deans' Offices to direct course changes to DAP, after program revisions have been approved by SUPR.
It is anticipated that SUPR will meet frequently with a view to completing the work by April 2003 so that revised programs, with an expected implementation of September 2004, will be correct in the information circulated to prospective students and printed in the academic calendar.
The approved Format Instructions for Submissions to the Subcommittee are also located at the SUPR website:
