The following items were raised:

Students may require longer than 3 years to finish the degree English language requirements may differ which will result in a possible upgrade (compressed

course in summer may be required) Advantageous for high school students to take the trades programs in order to build their

portfolio Reciprocal arrangement where visual arts students could take trades programs as their

electives The faculty expressed support for this concept and Tetsuomi announced that he would continue to work with his faculty on the process for approval.

5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS

5.1. Accessibility Advisory Committee: Universal Design

Ted Zak is a member of the Accessibility Advisory Committee and provided an update on the work that is taking place.

5.2. Supporting the Learning of Students with Disabilities

Rod McLeod reported that the Supporting Strengths professional development module is being developed to assist university teachers in supporting the learning of students with disabilities registered in trades programs at UFV. Funded by the B.C. government, this self-study module will include real-life stories of students with identified disabilities who are enrolled in or have graduated from UFV trades programs, and interviews with the faculty who have taught them.

Instructors will be asked to provide answers to interview questions about their experiences in teaching students with disabilities in trades programs at UFV. As well, they will be videotaped and photographed in a variety of contexts (classroom, shop, possibly on work sites). This interview/filming is scheduled to take place in January, at a mutually convenient time and place.

If anyone is willing to participate in this project, please advise the Dean.



5.3. Summary of Photocopy Expenses

A summary of photocopy expenses for the last five years was circulated for information. Instructors are encouraged to use the Print Shop as a way to reduce the cost of printing.

In addition, Nancy reported that she is in the process of posting all her documents on Blackboard Learn so students can access all information online as a way to reduce printing.

If others are interested in learning more about Blackboard Learn, please visit the following website for workshops: http://www.ufv.ca/tlc/teaching-matters-workshops/blackboard/

6. DEAN’S REPORT

6.1. Grades Entry Update

The Dean reported that he is still in discussions with the registrar’s office in regards to grades entry with respect to entering percentages vs letter grades.

6.2. 2015-2016 Budget Update

The Dean reported that the 2015-16 budget process is underway which includes the new Automation & Control Systems Technician Program. The Dean provided information on a visit to China that took place in December. Participants included, Rod McLeod, Nancy Barker, Paul Gumprich, Kara Bertram and John English. This trip was made possible by revenues received from the Canada Wood summer program that was held here in August 2014. Feedback received from the Chinese delegates indicate that there are lots of opportunities for future programming between UFV and institutions in China.

6.3. Job Description – new director position

The Dean circulated a copy of the job description for the new director position that is being recommended as part of the creation of a ‘school of trades’. This position will be posted as soon as it has gone through the approval process.

9. INFORMATION ITEMS

9.1. The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! – March 7-8, 2015

On March 7-8 over 10,000 Lower Mainland females of all ages will gather at the Abbotsford Airport to celebrate this year’s The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! event for Women of Aviation Worldwide Week and International Women’s Day. If anyone is interested in volunteering or helping out with this event, please contact Rolf Arnold.

9.2. Regional Skills Competition – March 5, 2015

The Regional Skills Competition is scheduled for March 5, 2015. The Director will be working on the logistics for the day and will keep the faculty informed of the events.

9.3. New Instructional Complaints Policy

It is proposed that the university needs to establish a policy governing instructional complaints. This policy is based on the existing ‘dean’s guidelines for instructional complaints’, but now more clearly defines what constitutes an instructional complaint; provides definitions and general criteria for the processing of such complaints. As part of the consultation process, the Secretariat office invites the UFV community to submit feedback to Ken Brealey, Associate Dean of Faculty, College of Arts (Ken [email protected]) by 4:00 pm on January 23, 2015.

9.4. Policy Consultation – Academic Warning (79) policy – rescind

It is proposed that the existing Academic Warning (79) policy be rescinded. As part of the consultation process, the Secretariat office invites the UFV community to submit feedback to Elaine Harris ([email protected]) by 4:00 pm on January 23, 2015. It was noted that this policy is frequently used by the trades department as a tool and faculty should review this and provide comments to the Dean. The Dean will ask Jamie Ubell to take the lead on this issue.

9.5. Policy Consultation – Course Repeat (86) policy – revisions

The Course Repeat (86) policy is being submitted for review. There are no major changes. The limit of one repeat per course is currently being applied and is consistent with most BC institutions so it has not been changed. Minor changes have been made to make it clearer how and when the policy applies. As part of the consultation process, the Secretariat office invites the UFV community to submit feedback to Elaine Harris, Secretariat office ([email protected]) by 4:00 pm on January 23, 2015. MOTION The meeting adjourned at 3:30 pm. N. Barker Next Meeting, February 12, 2015

University of the Fraser Valley Floor Warden Emergency Procedures

UFV’s Security and Emergency Management office has put together new Floor Warden Emergency

Procedures. TTC is one of the first facilities to have this plan rolled out. More information for

procedures regarding Bldg V, AG facilities and the Aerospace hangar will follow.

The Floor Warden’s for TTC are as follows:

Construction Areas: Allen Hiebert

Welding: Kevin Brennan

Automotive Areas: Jeremy Abbott

Front Office/Kitchen/Upstairs: Deborah Hawkes

Floor Wardens are responsible for being familiar with their assigned areas and for ensuring a safe and

orderly evacuation of building occupants in places other than classrooms or shops/labs in the case of an

emergency evacuation.

New emergency assembly areas (EAA) have been identified for our building and in the case of an

emergency evacuation building occupants should muster to the area with easiest access. The 2

assembly points are:

North West corner of parking log #1 in front of TTC

North East corner of Caen & Tyson Roads (gravel lot)

At this point, instructors are encouraged to ensure safe exit for themselves and their students, and be

prepared to account for attendance.

Further details will be forthcoming before and as evacuation drills will be put into place.

(Note: The Red muster point sign on the welding compound gate is temporary for the current

construction crew working in the welding shop)

Re: Proposed deletion of Change in Program Content policy (68)

Deletion of this policy is proposed.

This policy was created in 1983 and has not been reviewed since. It simply states that major program changes should be made in time to be published in the calendar.

The Undergraduate and Graduate Course and Program Approval policies have since been created. These policies and accompanying procedures cover requirements and approval processes for program changes, so the Change in Program Content policy now seems redundant and unecessary.

Please submit any feedback to Elaine Harris [email protected]

Re: Proposed deletion of Placement policy

The Placement policy is being submitted for deletion.

The policy was last reviewed in 1989. It simply states that placement tests used for program admission or prerequisites must be approved by UEC or the Grad Studies committee. While it seems useful to have a regulation to ensure that tests that are listed in the calendar or in Banner are properly vetted and approved, it does not seem necessary to have a formal policy to govern this.

The policy could be replaced by a regulation in the UEC and graduate resource materials for course and program approval.

Re: Consultation – Gift Acceptance policy

A new policy on Gift Acceptance has been developed and is being circulated for consultation.

This policy represents best practices for post-secondary institutions and will ensure that donors are treated consistently and equitably when they make gifts to UFV, that gift solicitation is focused on university priorities, and gift acceptance and administration are managed in an orderly way and in compliance with all applicable regulations. Finally this policy will ensure that UFV is protected against potential liabilities.

PURPOSE

This policy is to ensure that:

• The University of the Fraser Valley (hereafter, UFV) meets all legislative (e.g. the Income Tax Act), regulatory (e.g. Revenue Canada), and UFV Policy requirements (see http://www.ufv.ca/ secretariat/policies/) as they relate to all matters involved with the acceptance of gifts to the University.

• Appropriate direction is provided regarding all aspects of the acceptance of and administration of gifts to UFV and that all risks associated are mitigated in the process.

SCOPE

This policy applies to all departments or individuals who are accepting gifts on behalf of the university or negotiating with donor prospects regarding potential gifts.

DEFINITIONS

In this policy, the following definition applies:

Gift: A donation that is offered to and accepted by the University. A gift or donation is a voluntary transfer of ownership of money or property, including but not limited to gifts of cash, planned gifts and gifts-in-kind, for which the donor expects and receives nothing in return, either personally or for the benefit of a third party. Gifts to the university are, by definition, eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

POLICY

UFV may solicit and accept a variety of gifts, whereby university priorities are recognized, applicable laws and regulations are followed, and the risk to the University is minimized.

As part of the commitment to this, UFV:

• Retains the final right to decision making on all gift matters and retains ownership of all gifts. • Ensures all gifts and solicitation of gifts to UFV are focused on and consistent with UFV’s

strategic directions, education plan, strategic enrolment management plan, and other plans or priorities as established by the University’s governing bodies and senior management.

• Requires gift acceptance and administration be managed in an orderly way, ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations.

• Takes responsible steps to ensure it is protected against potential liabilities. • Ensures donors are treated consistently and equitably when they make gifts to UFV, and

donor preference is accommodated except where it is inconsistent with other principles listed above.

REGULATIONS

In order to ensure these principles are upheld, UFV employs the following measures:

1. Where necessary, UFV consults with appropriate individuals, organizations, or regulatory bodies to ensure compliance on all gift acceptance related matters.

2. All University personnel considering, planning negotiations, or wishing to solicit or accept a gift on behalf of UFV must consult with the Executive Director, University Relations or designate regarding procedures on a gift’s acceptability.

3. The Executive Director, University Relations or designate will: a. Establish and maintain guidelines for acceptance of gifts at UFV that are consistent

with legislative, regulatory, and policy requirements. These guidelines should include, but are not limited to, the following: reporting structures, types of gifts, donor preference, gift receipting, acceptance and refusal of gifts, gift agreements, and processes for managing gifts.

b. Ensure guidelines are published on the University website (and other places as appropriate), and the UFV community is educated on gift acceptance requirements.

c. Report to the President and Board of Governors on any issues necessitating they be informed or requiring approval.

4. The President will report annually to the Board of Governors on gifts solicited and accepted, and will provide the Board with other periodic updates as appropriate.

MEMO

TO: UFV Community

FROM: Kimberly Burridge

DATE: February 2, 2015

RE: Voluntary Resignation Policy

It is the general practice for UFV employees to provide notice to their departments when they plan to leave the University for retirement or other opportunities. Often these employees contact the Human Resources Department to inquire as to the appropriate length of such notices. However, the University does not have a current guideline for reasonable lengths of notice. This policy normalizes the current practice and supports human resources planning and development by providing departments with reasonable time periods to fill the positions of departing employees. The suggested guidelines differ for each employee group, recognizing the type of work performed by each group and the anticipated time needed to fill such positions.

LAST REVIEWED MM-DD-YYYY

NEXT REVIEW DATE MM-DD-YYYY

Approval Authority President

Responsible Executive Associate Vice-President, Human Resources


PURPOSE

This policy supports the planning and management of human resources development.

SCOPE

This policy applies to all employees of the University of the Fraser Valley.

DEFINITIONS In this policy, the following definitions apply: Resignation: The voluntary relinquishing of an employment relationship with the university, initiated by the employee.

POLICY In order to facilitate planning for replacements, employees who are voluntarily leaving the university are expected to provide reasonable and irrevocable notice in writing of their intent to resign to their immediate supervisor, with a copy to the attention of the Director of Human Resources.

REGULATIONS

Employees who are voluntarily leaving the university must submit their resignation in writing to their immediate supervisor, with a copy to the attention of the Director of Human Resources. The notice must be signed and provide the date of resignation. The date of resignation will be consistent with the last day of active work; accrued vacation and or other banked time may not be used to extend service with the university without the written approval of the Director of Human Resources. Employees are expected to provide reasonable notice to supervisors of their intent to resign in order to facilitate planning for replacements. Permanent tenured faculty employees will normally provide at least six (6) months’ notice. Permanent non-tenured faculty and senior administrative employees will normally provide at least four (4) months’ notice. Permanent staff employees will normally provide at least three weeks’ notice. Temporary employees are requested to provide two (2) weeks’ notice. A written notice of resignation will be irrevocable once signed and submitted. An employee who subsequently wishes to revoke his or her decision must submit a written request outlining reasons to the Associate Vice President, Human Resources. The AVP will consult with the appropriate Vice President before providing the final decision of the university in response to the request.

Voluntary Resignation (##) Page 1 of 2 Faculty of Applied & Technical Studies Agenda Package - 2015-02-12 Page20

Employees may complete the Notice of Resignation Form available on the Human Resources website, or may provide a written and signed acceptable equivalent. Employees are responsible for providing a valid forwarding mailing address, if applicable, to ensure any university correspondence is sent to the appropriate location. Employees are also responsible for ensuring the return or transfer of ownership of all items belonging to the university, such as keys, cell phones or other electronic communication devices, credit cards, laptop computers/iPad etc. Employees who fail to do so will be charged the full replacement cost of the item or items. Internal Transfers Reasonable notice is expected when an employee transfers from one department to another department within the university. The employee will notify his or her current supervisor in writing immediately on accepting the offer of a position elsewhere in the university. The supervisors in the two departments concerned should, in consultation, arrive at a mutually acceptable transfer date. This date may be shorter than the required notice period, but will not normally be longer.
