History
The Academic Policy and Planning Committee (APPC) is the key committee of the Senate responsible for examining and formulating long-term and short-term academic policy. Its functions include recommending to Senate new faculties, departments, programmes, and research centres as well as recommending reviews of existing structures. In addition, it makes recommendations to the Board and the President regarding budgetary considerations for the academic function of the University, and in respect to tenure of faculty (but not of individual cases). Prior to 1980, there were several sub-committees of APPC including the Steering Sub-Committee (which acted as an executive to the APPC), a budget sub-committee, two planning sub-committees, a Non-Faculty Colleges Sub-Committee and a sub-committee on instructional aid resources. The Sub-Committee on Non-Faculty Colleges was charged with examining the academic, social and cultural roles of these Colleges and the structures necessary to make them work. The Sub-Committee' s mandate expired in 1981.
The Committee currently has two standing sub-committees: the Long Range Planning Sub-Committee which reports to APPC on long-range trends in education, the introduction of new disciplines, future social requirements, library technology, and new methods of promulgating and organizing research.
The Technical Sub-Committee is responsible for defines, obtains and analyses data and supporting documents related to proposals before APPC. APPC also has the right to establish sub-committees for particular issues.
