School of Computing Science

School history and structure files

Series consists of records relating to the evolution of the School, its internal organization and mandate, scope of activities, and reorganization as part of the Faculty of Applied Science in 1985. Activities, events and topics documented include program planning in the early 1970's, departmental profile and formal review.

Records include correspondence, reports, planning documents, notes and working papers.

Administrative files

Series consists of records relating to the administration of the School office and management of relations with non-academic employees. Activities, events and topics documented include capital budget planning; search for School chairman; enrollment and registration issues; fundraising; faculty workshops and retreats; the appointment of Teaching Assistants and Sessional Instructors; space requirements and the move to the Applied Sciences Building.

Records include budgets, correspondence and reports, capital equipment requests, planning documents, notes and working papers.

Committee files

Series consists of records relating to meetings and deliberations of departmental, faculty, university, and external committees in which faculty or representatives from Computing Science participated. Departmental activities, events and topics documented include meetings; faculty search, hiring, and tenure deliberations; computing facilities; curriculum development; undergraduate and graduate programs; and hardware and software acquisition. Faculty records include minutes of the Faculty of Applied Science Executive Committee and the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies Executive Committee. University-wide records consist of minutes and papers from committees such as academic planning, computer policy and planning, and research policy. External committee records include minutes and papers of the British Columbia Computers in Education Committee and the Canadian Computer Science Department Chairmen Committee.

Records include meeting agendas, minutes and supporting documents; correspondence; reports; policies and procedures; program revisions and course proposals; and working papers.

Note that in the case of departmental committees, the files constitute the original, authoritative records of those committees. In the case of non-departmental committees (faculty, university and external), however, the School did not typically function as the official record-keeper or custodian of the committee's original records. Accordingly, these files document the School's participation in the committees (correspondence and copies of committee records) rather than representing the authoritative record of those committees.
