Other sources of information were
also identified including counsellors and
faculty, as well as program graduates.

What’s in a name?

The Committee also heard an update
on the issue of the proposed name of the
new university college. They
unanimously approved a
recommendation to the Board that the
name University College of the Fraser
Valley be used on all public and
promotional information. It was agreed
that the strong community response in
support of the proposal was closely
associated with the name. The College
Board discussed the name change at its
meeting on September 10.

Discussion also touched on the need
to investigate more closely how things
are done at other colleges. Reid College
in Oregon and Puget Sound College in
Washington and Trent University were
offered as possibilities.

Jack Gaston reminded the Committee
that one of the things that will make
UCFV unique is “developing the
‘laddering’ concept that is the marriage
of career and academic programs.”

Community Coalition representative
Jaclyn Rea expressed thanks for being
asked to join the Access Committee.

“We are another resource you can
draw on,” said Rea.

The Access Committee meeting of
Sept. 6 further defined the process by
which the first degrees will be decided
and developed.

An Arts degree subcommittee was
proposed. It will consist of five members
including one from English, and the .
department head and a faculty member
from each of Humanities and Social
Sciences.

A Science degree subcommittee
consisting of one representative from
Math and Computing and three from the
Natural Sciences was also proposed.

Considerable discussion then
revolved around the importance of
ensuring that issues of interest to the
development Career/ Technical degrees
also be represented on the Arts and

Science subcommittees.

Academic,Career/tech

links urged

Dean Dick Bate said there were “real
opportunities” to build a unique program
profile by ensuring the linkages between
the academic and career programs were
maintained and developed.

President Peter Jones supported this,
saying,” I think there is market for
university colleges to serve people who
want a career entry degree.”

“T don’t think we should develop any
BA or BSc without consideration of the
career programs we want to offer,” said
Jones.

The Committee approved the
formation of the Arts and Science
subcommittees with the addition of one
representative on each from the
Career/Technical area.

Bate introduced a tentative grid
indicating the most likely degree
programs to be offered. Among them,
the Social Work and Criminal Justice
degrees are proposed for September ’92
and Computer Information Systems,
Business Administration and Aviation
are proposed for September ’93.

The formation of a subcommittee to
develop plans for each of these degree
programs was approved. Membership
will consist of the program head, a
department member, an external
advisory committee member and two
others (including one from the academic
area).

Headlines/Sept.13, 1991

UCFV plans more concrete after Sept. 6 meeting

new subcommittees will be introduced at
the September 13 meeting.

The issue of an Education degree
subcommittee was again raised and
recognized as important. More specific
discussion will begin September 13.

Only 247 days ‘til UC Day

Erling Close presented a time line
setting out the tasks to be accomplished
before classes for the first degree
programs begin. He reminded the _
Committee that this is only 247 days
away.

With everyone on the Committee
feeling the pressure of both time and the
weight of the task ahead, Virginia Cooke
suggested members realize that “it won’t
be perfect.”

“We will do as much as we can, as
well as we can,” she said.

Meetings with administrators from
universities which are potential partners
with UCFV are being scheduled.
Administrators from the Open Learning
Agency will be at the College on
September 19. On September 30
administrators and Access Committee
representatives will meet with deans
