Administrative history

The Universities Act , 1963, c. 52, s. 25 provided for a Faculty Council from each of British Columbia's three universities. Membership included the President as Chairman, the Registrar as secretary, the Librarian, the Deans and at least five faculty members. The Faculty Council was granted several powers (Universities Act, s. 61) including making rules and regulations with respect to student discipline, and approving the establishment of a representative student government.

SFU's Faculty Council, established in 1965, consisted of the officials listed above and 6 faculty members (2 elected from each of the original faculties of Arts, Science, and Education). One of its earliest actions was to examine the proposed constitution of the Simon Fraser Student Society in order to facilitate the formal recognition of the SFSS. In addition, it studied the issue of a separate graduate student society. The Council established policies in such areas as library fines, traffic violations, and conduct in student residences. It also heard individual disciplinary cases involving students accused of misconduct such as cheating and plagiarism. The last minutes of the Faculty Council are from 1973. The revised Universities Act in 1974 did not provide for the continuation of the Council.

Immediate source of acquisition

The records were transferred to the Archives from the Registrar, who was the Secretary of the Council.

Arrangement

The agendas, minutes, and papers were refoldered and kept as maintained by the Registrar in reverse chronological order in a binder. The file, "Miscellaneous Supporting Papers," was also received from the Registrar, who had intended to add these documents to the committee binder. One file, containing corresondence about a proposed graduate student society, was compiled by former archives staff. It was added to the fonds for its informational value.
