Administrative history
The Committee on Academic Planning was established around 1970 to 'assess the University's resources and constraints and establish short and long term goals, policies and procedures, both general and specific, relating to the viability, expansion or contraction of its academic programs and to the overall direction of growth, and make appropriate recommendations to Senate. To this end, the committee shall consider recommendations for any new programs or for the discontinuance of all existing programs and shall formulate policies and priorities for submissions to Senate. The committee may also initiate such recommendations on its own. The committee shall recommend to Senate priorities among its recommendations and the impact of its recommendations on faculty positions and other resources such as space, library acquisitions, audio visual, lab. requirements, classroom and office space. The committee shall assist in the coordination and preparation of University reports and submissions to the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission and other such bodies or agencies. The committee shall ... maintain close liaison with Budget and Curriculum Committees of Senate' (Senate By-Laws 1981). This Committee was succeeded by the Committee Curriculum and Academic Planning in 1977. This Committee was responsible for the following subcommittees: Ad-Hoc Subcommittee on Academic Expansion (1970-1971), Ad-Hoc Committee on Business Studies (1970), Ad-Hoc Subcommittee on Social Sciences (1970), Committee on Faculty Work-Load (1970), Subcommittee on Academic Feasibility Regarding the Dartmouth Property, Subcommittee on Graduate Studies (1970, 1972), and Subcommittee on Structure (1970-1971). The composition of the committee is: the Academic Vice-President, the Deans of each Faculty, four faculty members, the Librarian, and one student senator (Senate By-Laws 1981).
