The minutes of the meeting of April 27, 2000, were approved as circulated.
Dr. Davenport reported on the following items:
Degrees at Community Colleges
Details of his report appear in Appendix I, distributed with the agenda.
With respect to the Provincial Announcement on Private Universities and Applied Degrees at Community Colleges, Dr. Davenport provided members with a copy of his letter to the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities (May 24, 2000) pursuant to a meeting with the Minister in London on May 18. He elaborated on the key issues in the letter.
Mr. Etherington referred to reference in the Update to the Strategic Plan to the recent publication of the draft Code of Student Conduct developed by the Vice-Provost's Advisory Committee. He stated that some members of the London community wonder why there is no reference in that document to control of student activities off-campus.
Dr. Davenport responded that it is clear that the University does not have the ability in law to sanction students academically for behavior off campus. What the University can do is draw up guidelines for appropriate behavior, such as the Student Code of Conduct.
The Report on Scholarships, detailed in Appendix II, was received for information.
