ATTENDANCE: As recorded in the Faculty Appendix Book. DOCUMENTS: S-11-32, S-12-1 to S-12-8, S-12-10, S-12-11 Dean Grant called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. He welcomed new and continuing members to the first Faculty of Science meeting of the year. A. McGill Centraide Campaign On behalf of Dean (Management) Peter Todd, Ms. Céline Junke, Development Officer from the Faculty of Management, gave a presentation on the McGill Centraide Campaign. She said Centraide raises donations to support a vast network of community agencies that help individuals and families in a situation of poverty. During the 2011 Centraide Campaign, McGill had been one of the top 50 Campaigns, having contributed over $416,705 from 625 donors. The goal of the 2012 McGill Centraide Campaign was to raise $450,000, and to increase participation to 825 donors. Ms. Junke said that members could give by filling out a donation form, through payroll deductions, or online at http://www.centraide-mtl.org/en/giving/. Dean Grant thanked Ms. Junke for the generous contribution of her time to the Centraide Campaign, and he underlined the good work that Centraide supports. He said that it was very important for McGill to be part of the community. B. New Professors, Recently Tenured Professors, and Recently Promoted Full Professors: Dean Grant said that, as traditionally, new professors had been invited to the first Faculty meeting to be introduced to their colleagues. New professors would contribute to the continuation of the good name of the Faculty.

(2) RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF EMERITUS PROFESSOR MANUEL PHILLIP LANGLEBEN 202.1 Prof. Andreas Warburton from the Department of Physics read the Resolution on the

Death of Emeritus Professor Manuel Phillip Langleben.

Faculty of Science members, it is with regret that I inform you of the death of Emeritus Professor M. Phillip Langleben, on March 19, 2012, at the age of 87.

Phil Langleben was born in Poland and came to Montreal with his family in his

early childhood. He received his entire academic training at McGill University, which started in 1945 when he entered our institution as a BSc student in physics after having completed his war service with the Royal Canadian Navy. He completed an MSc in physics in 1950, and then a PhD in atmospheric physics in 1953, under the supervision of Emeritus Professor Stewart Marshall. Upon his graduation he spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at the Dunstable Meteorological Office in England, and he returned to McGill the following year as a Research Associate in the Stormy Weather Group. Phil joined our academic staff in 1957 as a lecturer in the Department of Physics. He rose through the ranks, and became a Full Professor in 1968.

After his return to McGill University in the mid‐fifties, Professor Langleben

switched his research interests from atmospheric physics to ice physics, and joined the Ice Research Project headed by Professor Elton Pounder. For the next 30 years he devoted himself to the study of the physics of ice, and of the interaction of sea ice with the atmosphere above and the ocean below. His scientific contributions in this field have been substantial and influential. He has


done work on problems related to the growth and decay of ice, to the mechanical properties, and the albedo of sea ice. Phil was renowned for carefully designed experiments, frequently done with ingenious instrumentation of his own, and often performed under adverse Arctic conditions. He was a meticulous scientist well known for his careful analysis techniques. Professor Langleben’s world-class expertise made him a much sought--‐ after consultant on matters related to cold climates and conditions, and his cutting-edge research earned him being elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

Professor Langleben was also a devoted teacher, spending long hours preparing

his lectures, and an active member of the university community. He has served as Director of McGill’s Center for Northern Study from 1977 to 1980, and was Associate Chair of the Department of Physics from 1984 up to his retirement in 1989. Even if Professor Langleben has spent his entire academic career studying snow and ice, he was a warm and compassionate person, with great clarity of thought and a sound judgment.

We have lost a valued colleague who greatly enriched the life of the university.

The Faculty of Science extends its condolences to his wife Rose, to his children Adrian, David, Louise, to his daughters-in‐law Ruth and Vicky, and to his grandchildren Isaac, Samuel, Debra, Ian, Julia, and Hayley.

The resolution was adopted unanimously. 202.2 Dean Grant thanked Prof. Warburton for the moving resolution. (3) SEATING OF STUDENT MEMBERS S-12-1 Dean Grant called out the names of the student members, and asked them to identify

(8) REPORT ON ACTIONS OF SENATE Please note that the entire Minutes of Senate are available on the Web at

http://www.mcgill.ca/senate/senate-2012-2013/senate-2012-2013-meeting-documents Senate Meeting of September 20, 2012 – Prof. Nigel Roulet

The first meeting of the McGill University Senate of the 2012-2013 academic year took place on September 20, 2012, and I am pleased to report it was very uneventful and miraculously was over in under than two and a half-hours!


Senate opened with the Principal welcoming all new Senators (Bell from Science) and since it was the first Senate meeting of the year the Principal went through the standard reminders of Senate rules and regulations on recording the proceedings and the role of guests. Senator Bell then rose to give a moving eulogy on the death of Professor Robert (Bob) Lemon. The report of Steering committee followed the written documentation but it is important to note that the Principal on behalf of the Steering Committee asked for suggestions of topics that Senate should discuss this year. The Principal’s opening remarks reviewed the upcoming items on Senates annual agenda. They included discussions and actions arising from the reports of the two main undertakings on academic planning – ASAP 2012 and the SRP; Campaign McGill and the move to what the Principal referred to as a “state of perpetual revenue generation”; Diversity and Community engagement from the Principal’s Task Force on Student Life and Learning; and the Manfredi report on the activities of Senate and collegiality. The Principal also had short remarked on the orientation – the best ever, McGill’s position in ranking - good but slipping, and the implications of the recent Quebec election – the latter were not brief remarks. She informed Senate of the creation of a new Ministry that is now responsible for universities - “Higher education, research and technology” and minister is Pierre Duchesne. She noted the large number of cabinet ministers that have experience in university administration. She indicated that the new government will roll back the tuition increases and this effectively increases McGill’s operating deficit another $6,000,000 for the current academic year. She then outlined a series of deficiencies with respects to how McGill is funded and concluded the “current model is not sustainable”. She stated that her focus for the next year for McGill - Quebec government relationships will be: 1. how will the government make up the funds created by the tuition gap?; 2. fostering relationships with the new government; and 3. advocacy for McGill to redress the prejudicial funding practices relative to other Quebec universities. Senate then moved into a confidential session to discuss nominations for honourary degrees. Reports and Motions began with a presentation by VP Di Grappa on workforce planning. In summary we need to figure out how to manage with fewer and less experienced staff given Bill 100’s 1:2 replacement policy. He also discussed the concerns about the demographic structure of McGill’s workforce. His presentation generated a number of questions related to service and research but he did not provide any substantive answers. Professor Fuks presented the Annual Report Concerning the Investigation of Research Misconduct and this was by the 439th Report of the Academic Policy Committee. It was in my experience the shortest report of APC ever presented to Senate and contained nothing for approval. Senate received, discussed and approved all the motion stemming from the Report of the Senate Nominating Committee: these included nominations for Senate Standing Committees, Senate representatives on committees arising from university regulations, and Senate representatives on Advisory Committees for the appointment of several Faculty Deans. Deputy Provost Mendelson gave a presentation on Advancing Academic Advising – advising is improving but some areas still need attention, and there needs to be work done on how to evaluate the effectiveness of advising.


Associate Provost White proposed two minor amendments to the Regulations Relating to the Employment of Tenure Track and Tenured Academic Faculty for Senate’s approval. The first dealt with changes in the dates for notification of leaves and the second dealt with a wording technicality to correct that Statutory Committees could not grant tenure at the same time they approved a recommendation for promotion to full professor. After some debate, including an objection that MAUT was not given advance notice of the proposed changes, Senate approved both motions. The Annual Report on the Policy on Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Prohibited by Law was presented by Associate Provost White. Senate adjourned at 16:53 – a very good sign for the start of the new academic year.

(9) DEAN’S BUSINESS

(i) Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List S-12-10 209.1 Associate Dean Hendren said that there were three students graduating who would

appear on the DMURL, one in an Environment program, and two in Neuroscience. She said that it was interesting that these students were already in interdisciplinary programs.

Associate Dean Hendren moved, seconded by Prof. Roulet, that the DMURL be

approved. The motion carried. Associate Dean Hendren further moved, seconded by Prof. Hynes, that the Dean be

given discretionary power to make such changes in the DMURL list as would be necessary to prevent injustice.

The motion carried. (ii) Enrolment S-12-11 209.2 Associate Dean Hendren said that in summary, the Faculty of Science had received

almost exactly the desired number of students, and the students were very, very good, but perhaps there were not enough CEGEP students.

209.3 Associate Dean Hendren briefly described the admissions process. Students applying to

McGill were sorted into groups: students from CEGEPs, Ontario high schools, rest-of-Canada high schools, U.S. high schools and overseas high schools. Each group was assigned an admission threshold, based on grades, which, on previous years' experience, should generate about the required number of offers. Offers were made on a rolling basis, students having higher grades receiving earlier offers. There were different deadlines for different groups.

209.4 The 2012-2013 academic year was the fourth year making use of admission pools. With

admissions to the concurrent B.Sc./B.Ed. program now retired, high school students applied to one of two pools:

209.5 (i) Biological, Biomedical and Life Sciences (BBL) pool — students planning to major in

the Departments of Anatomy & Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biology, Microbiology & Immunology, Physiology or Psychology.


209.6 (ii) Physical, Earth, Math and Computer Science (PEMC) pool — students planning to major in the remainder of the units in Science.

209.7 At the end of U0, students can choose to take a program from within their pool, change

pools by applying for an intrafaculty transfer, or apply to Microbiology & Immunology or Neuroscience.

209.8 Incoming CEGEP students are able to choose from either of the two pools, or apply to

the Microbiology & Immunology or Neuroscience programs. Students can change majors within their pool, or change pools via an intrafaculty transfer.

209.9 Associate Dean Hendren briefly outlined the admissions grade cut-offs for various groups

for the two pools. She said that the Ontario/Canadian High Schools cut-off for the BBL pool was very high because of the demand. As well as overall grades, the mathematics/science grades were examined, with students requiring at least 85% in this.

209.10 The percentage of U0 students in the PEMC pool was moving in the right direction,

increasing from 19% in 2009 to 31% in 2012. A good target would be 40%. 209.11 PEMC registrations could be further increased by advising activities in Ontario and rest-

of-Canada high schools, and by student word-of-mouth; by promoting intrafaculty transfers to PEMC; and by emphasizing that students in PEMC majors can obtain admission to medical school.

209.12 Actual admissions to the B.Sc. and the B.A. & Sc. were very close to the targets.

Associate Dean Hendren pointed out that while the B.A. & Sc. was not very popular with CEGEP students, it was very popular with students from Ontario High Schools.

209.13 Regarding yields (the percentage of offers that are accepted), the four High School

Groups were trending together. There was a small but worrying decrease in CEGEP yield over the past several years, although the results for 2012 may have been related to the student boycott.

209.14 For 2012, there had been several special challenges: the student boycott, the increased

international tuition and fees ($30,700 per year), and the earlier time of registration required for new students.

209.15 There was a 1.32% increase in the total number of B.Sc. and B.A. & Sc. students over

the previous year, and an increase of 22% since 2004. The U0 load for Science had increased by 33% since 2004.

209.16 Transfers out of the B.Sc. were not a problem, but the B.A. & Sc. experienced a net loss

of 11%, which, while still too high, was down from 20% four years previously. 209.17 Points to Consider (High Schools):

The historical yield for the High School pool was not very reliable at predicting future yields; more flexibility involving admissions would be useful.

Also useful would be better prediction of the fraction of applicants over a given threshold.

It must be ensured that international students were of the same calibre as Canadian students since there is pressure to increase international enrolment.

Further efforts should be made to interest more high school applicants in the PEMC pool.


209.18 Points to Consider (CEGEPs): The proportion of CEGEP students needed to be increased; interest in Science

at high schools and CEGEPs in Québec also needed to be increased. The number of CEGEP graduates should increase over the next few years

because of the baby boom echo. Efforts should be made to interest CEGEP graduates in the PEMC pool.

There will be further pressure on the U0 courses in the future. 209.19 In response to a question concerning the origin of students transferring out of the B.A. &

Sc., Associate Dean Hendren said she would look into the matter. 209.20 Dean Grant thanked Associate Dean Hendren for her detailed analysis. (ii) Gift from Dr. Jim Prentice 209.21 Dean Grant said that Jim Prentice had offered money to provide a yearly celebration for

its staff. Henceforth, each year the Faculty will hold a celebration of appreciation for its hard-working staff.

Dean Grant thanked Jim Prentice and Mrs. Prentice for their innovative idea and

donation.

(iii) Gift from Dr. Lorne M. Trottier 209.22 Dean Grant said that the most generous donors in the history of the Faculty of Science

had been the Trottier family. Lorne Trottier and his daughter Claire were actually in attendance at the current meeting. A year previously, the Trottier family had endowed the Office of Science & Society, and about seven years previously, had endowed the yearly Trottier Symposium. As well the family had made a large number of other gifts to the Faculty. Now the Trottier family was making a further endowment of approximately $5 million to set up an Institute in Scientific Public Policy. The Institute will involve scientists, and will offer undergraduate student research awards and professorships.

209.23 On behalf of the Faculty of Science, Dean Grant thanked the Trottier family for their most

recent in a long string of extremely generous gifts. (10) MEMBERS’ QUESTION PERIOD There were no members’ questions. (11) OTHER BUSINESS There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m.

New Program/Major or Minor/Concentration Proposal Form

(07/2004)

4.0 Rationale for new proposal The Neuroscience Major received formal approval by Quebec’s Ministry of Education in August 2008 and is now entering its fifth year. Since the Major has now achieved maturity and stability, it seems appropriate to introduce an Honours program. Moreover, students in the Major have expressed considerable interest in the establishment of a Neuroscience Honours Program. Admission to Neuroscience Honours will be limited to 12-15 students at the end of their U1 year. The entrance requirement includes completion of both NSCI 200 and NSCI 201 in U1. Most or all of the students that we accept into Neuroscience Honours will likely come from the Neuroscience Major. Accordingly, it should add little if any additional registration pressure on the program’s courses.

9.0 List of proposed program for the New Program/Major or Minor/Concentration. If new concentration (option) of existing Major/Minor (program), please attach a program layout (list of all courses) of existing Major/Minor. Proposed program (list courses as follows: Subj Code/Crse Num, Title, Credit weight under the headings of: Required Courses, Complementary Courses, Elective Courses)

The Honours program is intended for students who are interested in laboratory-based research and in acquiring a foundation in each of the 3 streams of the Neuroscience Major (cell and molecular; neurophysiology and computational; cognition and behavior). Students are admitted to the program after one year in a major. The program is composed of 74 credits: 44 credits are required, including a 9-credit independent research project, and 30 credits are complementary. Because it is a limited-enrollment program, the entrance requirements for the Honours program are more stringent. Applicants must have taken a minimum of 27 graded credits in their U1 year, must have a CGPA of at least 3.50 and have obtained minimum grades of B+ in both NSCI 200 and NSCI 201, as well as a minimum grade of C in BIOL 200, BIOC 212 or BIOL 201, and CHEM 212. Additional requirements for applying are provided on the Neuroscience website: (www.mcgill.ca/neuroscience). Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the Honours Neuroscience Program. To graduate from the program, students must have a CGPA of 3.30 and a minimum grade of B+ in NSCI 300, NSCI 400 and NSCI 430. “First Class Honours” is awarded to students who obtain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.70, a minimum program GPA of 3.30, and a minimum grade of B+ in NSCI 300, NSCI 400 and NSCI 430. Students are strongly recommended to take REDM 410 as one of their complementary courses in their U3 year.

BSc Global Option Proposal AC-12-36 (Draft 1)

BSc Global Option

Faculty of Science, McGill University

November 20, 2012

1 Introduction

Science students have many strengths and come from a variety of backgrounds. Many of ourstudents, including Quebec students and international students, are multi-lingual. Our studentsare also very academically strong and potential global leaders. The BSc Global Option is proposedas a way of providing the BSc students with a way of further strengthening their BSc studies.

The Global Option requirements would be completed within the 90 (120) credits of the studentsdegree requirements, and may also overlap with program requirements.

Students completing the requirements would be awarded a BSc with the Global Option (this issimilar to the way in which the Internship Option is currently handled). For example, a student inBiology, completing the Global Option would be granted a BSc Biology (Global).

2 Requirements

The requirements include two required elements and one complementary elements.

2.1 Required Elements

Language Course: At least 3 credits of a McGill language course, studying any language whichis not the student’s 1st language.

Research Course: At least 3 credits of research from any research course which is on the approvedresearch courses for the DMURL.

2.2 Complementary Element

In addition to the required elements, students must complete at least one of the following comple-mentary elements.

Field Studies: Completion of an approved field studies course. Any course which is designated asa field studies course, is open to Science students, and which involves a significant non-localelement. (An informal definition of “non-locality” is a field study that requires traveling andstaying for a period of time outside of Montreal). A list of pre-approved courses will be postedon the Global Options web site. Courses not on the pre-approved list may be approved bythe Global Options Coordinator.

Internship: Completion of an Industrial Practicum Course or the Internship Year in Science.

1

BSc Global Option Proposal AC-12-36 (Draft 1)

Exchange: At least one term as an exchange student at a university outside of Montreal.

“Global” courses offered from other faculties: At least three credits from a McGill coursewith a substantial Global component. Such courses must be at the 200-level or above, andmay not be a “General Interest” type of course. Courses from both within Science and inother faculties may be used to satisfy this requirement. A list of pre-approved courses willbe be listed on the Global Options web site. Courses not on the pre-approved list may beapproved by the Global Options Coordinator.

3 Administration

The Global Option will be administered by the Global Options Coordinator, who will be appointedby the Dean. Students who wish to qualify for the Global Option will complete a form detailinghow they have satisfied the two required and one complementary requirements. This form shouldbe completed before the student’s last term of studies.

Students may replace CHEM 212 and MATH 222 credits from CEGEP with electives to make it more in line with other programs and students have obtained the knowledge. Changing of the wording of the 400/500-level stipulation allows students to take more courses at the higher level. Inclusion of a new course (BIOL 320) which is already listed in the NSCI Major as a complementary course. This will allow students an additional option from the list of 200- or 300-level complementary courses.

Addition of all freshman science courses means that students aren’t limited by their choice of stream in math and physics. Students may replace CHEM 212 and MATH 222 credits from CEGEP with electives to make it more in line with other programs and students have obtained the knowledge. Giving students the relevant choice of MIMM 214 or PHAR 300 in Stream A makes it flexible and similar to the other streams. Students need to consult the Program Director if they wish to substitute a different COMP course. We have added new complementary courses which have significant neuroscience-relevant content and which provide more options for the students. REDM 410 has been added to the complementary course list as it is important that students who are considering a career in research develop their science-writing skills.

(1) More quantitative tools: COMP 202 was added so that students will have a greater array of quantitative tools available to them for other courses and research projects. (2) Increased choice: Students now can take either GEOG 308 or GEOG 306, as well as BIOL 215 or ENVR 202. (3) Reduced course overlap: ATOC 214, ENVR 200, and GEOG 203 have some overlaps. To reduce this, we are requiring students to take only two of the three courses, instead of all three courses. (4) Increased societal content: In the complementary courses, there is now a requirement for a student to select one course with societal content, to expand the breadth of a student’s appreciation for the Earth System.

Rationale This new 9-credit research project course will be required for and limited to Neursocience Honours students in their U3 year. Since both written and communication skills are essential for students considering a career in research, students will not only be required to submit an Abstract on their proposed research near the beginning of the course and a written report in the form of a research manuscript at the end of the course but they will also be required to give two oral presentations. These students will acquire a very strong foundation for pursuing a career in research.

Responsible Instructor

Course Description Students undertake an independent research project in the field of neursocience under the guidance of an established McGill neuroscientist. They are expected to obtain hands-on research experience in their supervisor's laboratory, learn about the strengths and limitations of the methodology and work independently.

Rationale The Department of Mathematics and Statistics wishes to introduce a series of level 500 topics courses with generic titles (e.g. "Topics in Analysis"). These courses are intended to cover material at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level that is too infrequently taught to warrant the creation of a separate course. We already offer a similar series of level 700 topics courses for advanced graduate level material.


Course Description This course covers a topic in analysis.

Course Title Official Course Title : Nuclear and Radiochemistry


Nuclear and Radiochemistry

Rationale Currently there is no course offered at McGill dealing with the important subject matter of nuclear chemistry and radiochemistry in Life Sciences. This topic is currently experiencing a renaissance in Science because it is represented in the news more often (problems at Chalk River, Fukushima reactor, shortage of medical isotopes etc). Students have approached me in the past to be able to ask questions on such news items, because their current education does not provide them with all the information necessary to understand and put into perspective such developments. Additionally, there are a large number of job opportunities in this field (both in reactor-based fields and in Life Science oriented areas). These jobs currently remain vacant because of a lack of suitably educated students. I have started to educate students in radiochemistry in my lab, but came to the realization that they lack the necessary foundation in nuclear and radiochemitry to fully understand and excel in this field. The course will therefore present the basics of nuclear chemistry and its Life Science applications to enable students to pursue careers in this field, both in academia and the industry.

Course Description Basic properties of the atomic nucleus, nuclear reactions as well as nuclear fission. Kinetics of the radioactive decay, the interaction of radiation with matter and the different kinds of radiation.

Rationale MIMM 212 has been substantially changed and the student workload has correspondingly increased. In recent course evaluations, the students have themselves raised this issue and many students consistently say that compared to other McGill courses, the MIMM 212 work load is certainly greater than 2 credits. The following 4 specific changes increases the student work load: 1 New formal lectures on theory and practice to replace informal pre-lab meetings on practice alone 2 Practical lab final exam to replace purely written exam 3 Formal written lab reports to replace fill-in data sheets 4 Weekly quizzes to provide continuously monitor progress

Anatomy/Limbs and Back.

Rationale The proposed change to ANAT 315 would be to reduce the number of lab hours per week (from 4 to 2 hours) as cadaver dissection activities are not required. Use of existing pre-dissected specimens (i.e. prosections) per se provide for effective learning of the 3D organization and inter-relationship of gross musculoskeletal anatomical structures of the upper and lower limbs as well as axial trunk.


Course Description The regional human gross anatomy of the skeleton, joints, muscles and neurovascular structures of the limbs and back.

Course Title on Transcript

Sedimentary Geology


Sedimentary Geology

Rationale This type of course is traditionally taught at the 300 rather than 400 level because the foundational concepts in sedimentary geology are predominantly qualitative. This revision is the first step in rationalizing the curriculum in sedimentary geology, in which this course will be treated as a stepping stone towards more advanced courses, including EPSC 425, which

Page 1 of 3


currently is treated as an alternative to EPSC 455 and is also being revised.


Galen Halverson

Course Description This course discusses the origin, diagenesis, classification and economic importance of sedimentary rocks. Students will learn about the physical properties of sedimentary rocks, including porosity and permeability, different techniques for analyzing those rocks (thin sections, hand specimens, wireline logs) and the types of sedimentary basins within which sediments accumulate.

The origin, classification, diagenesis and economic importance of sedimentary rocks. The physical properties of sedimentary rocks, the processes by which sediments are transported and deposited, and the environments in which they accumulate. Introduction to techniques for describing and analyzing sedimentary rocks in thin section, hand specimen, and on the outcrop.

Sediments to Sequences


Sediments to Sequences.

Rationale This course was designed and previously taught by a professor that is no longer in EPS. This minor revision is intended to make this course a higher level and more quantitative course than EPSC 455 (being revised to EPSC 355) in order to offer EPSC undergraduate students the option of an additional course in sedimentary geology. At the same time, this course is expected to be an alternative to EPSC 355 for ESS majors, who will benefit from a stronger Earth system approach in this course.


Course Description Processes and products of modern and ancient carbonate and siliciclastic depositional environments. Sequence stratigraphy as a tool for studying the fundamental controls (sea level, tectonics, sediment supply, etc.) on stratigraphic architecture.

Advanced techniques for interrogating the stratigraphic record. Topics include cyclicity in the sedimentary record, sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, sedimentary control on the fossil record, and the record of deep sea sediment cores.
