b. VP Finance – Rachel Reding (Appendices F) No questions or comments.

c. VP Communications – Reena Cabanilla (Appendix G) Ryan: There was discussion of role of VP Academic in Policies and Structures Committee minutes. Would like more details on that. Billy: I thought that VP Academic’s role could be subsumed by a VP External. The idea was mostly shot down.

d. VP Academic – Oghosa Igbinakenzua (Appendices H) No questions or comments.

e. VP Student Life – Madeleine Santia (Appendices I) Aron: What are the furniture accommodations at CEIE going to look like, given the different club needs? Maddy: Details: storage lockers, music space, common area, student offices, ~60 lockers. Not a lot of people to consult for design teams but it is the bulk of consultation. The lockers are more difficult to manage than the furniture. Design teams would likely have to operate after 5pm.

Billy: Good reports, good officers. A+. *Thunderous applause* Milan: “bars full of drinks”

7. SPECIAL MOTION By Ernesto Diaz Lozano Patino to amend Bylaw 6 WHEREAS Bylaw 6 governs the affairs of the Search and Review Committee, and WHEREAS the Review Committee identified some errors in the Bylaw BE IT RESOLVED THAT Bylaw 6 Section 2.1 which reads 2.1.1. “Reserve” members are defined as a contingency plan for failure to attend by those previously outlined. “Reserve” members shall be comprised of: a.

be amended to read: 2.1.1. “Reserve” members are defined as a contingency plan for failure to attend by those previously outlined. “Reserve” members shall comprise: a. Vice President Academic b. Vice President Student Life c. Ombudsman d. Cannon Editor

Milan seconds.

Ernesto: VP External hasn’t existed for at least 2 years.

No objections or abstentions.

Motion carries.

8. SPECIAL MOTION by Reena Cabanilla to amend Bylaw 1, the Constitution, and Bylaw 7, the Discipline Club Bylaw WHEREAS a motion was passed in the February Board Meeting for the Policy and Structures Committee to look into editing Bylaw 1, section 1.2; and WHEREAS a motion was passed in the February Board Meeting for the Policy and Structures Committee to look into automatic recall procedures for Discipline switching for representatives; and WHEREAS there is a contradiction regarding Speaker elections in Bylaw 1; and

WHEREAS the Policy and Structures Committee has reviewed and revised Bylaw 1 and Bylaw 7; BE IT RESOLVED THAT the revised version of Bylaw 1 as presented in Appendix J be adopted. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the revised version of Bylaw 7 as presented in Appendix K be adopted.

Kevin seconds.

Reena: We actually adjust the fees and then have it approved by Faculty Council. Contradiction for speaker was where it specified the election meeting as the one after the JCM.

No objections or abstentions.

Motion carries.

9. DISCUSSION ITEM on Speaker election, UTSU Director re-appointment and Board transition

Board Transition:

Billy: JCM board meeting 2 part structure is awkward. The Speaker is elected by the old board and the old Officers are brought to a meeting where they don’t do anything.

Milan: Appeals process last year threw a wrench into things, reopening Board positions. It should be more straightforward this year.

Aidan: Last year, old Board members had no clear end date. The appeal caused a special circumstance.

Kevin: When in the April board meeting does the new Board get sworn in?

Ernesto: Term of office of Officers begins when the new Officers take an oath at JCM. Old board’s term ends at the end of the first part meeting.

Kevin: How does the By-Election factor in?

Billy: Positions are left vacant.

Milan: Oath of office in May is better for getting people to come. They won’t come to the post-JCM meeting.

Billy: I think I have the information I need. This is mainly to ensure that the idea isn’t terrible.

UTSU Director Re-appointment:

Billy: We will know who they are before the May meeting? We need the rep to be accommodated by then.

Ernesto: The new officer team will consult with UTSU immediately

Aidan: Would it be logical for everyone to make it so that the ProFac member is the exec on our board?

Rachel: We shouldn’t put that in the agreements. It should be up to them.

Billy: None of the agreements specify who it should be

Ryan: In general it will probably be VP ProFac

Speaker Election:

Billy: Speaker election is a 2 minute speech, and is inadequate for knowing the candidates. Corporations Act puts major burden on the Speaker. Putting out a call for people running for Speaker now and I will review their resume and skills with some execs

Milan: Should include Board members for Officer accountability

Billy: Sure. I would like to have the candidates run part of the April meeting so that everyone can see their aptitude

Aron: Would this be like project director recommendations? Strengths and weaknesses?

Billy: Yes

Milan: Would we have to vote to allow each candidate to be temporary speaker per Robert’s Rules?

Billy: Yes. Also, nobody would be required to do this but it would raise questions if they didn’t. Should we do this in April or May?

Ryan: April, since May could get messy and is close to the election

Jason: Will there be mock motions?

Billy: I was thinking real ones. We could do either.

Milan: I agree with Ryan -- April. It could be slow at the end of a long day

Kevin: The new Board would not see the speaker in action

Billy: That’s part of why I was asking. This would be partly for me so that it can feed into the recommendation report

Apurv: People might not be in Toronto in May

10. MOTION by Raffi Dergalstanian to ratify the results of the 2016 Officer Elections and Referenda

WHEREAS the Chief Returning Officer has submitted the results of the elections for the 2016-2017 Engineering Society Officers, Skule Nite Levy Renewal and Fall Break Referendum

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the results of the 2016 Engineering Society Officer Elections and Referenda are received and ratified.

Aron seconds

Ernesto: This would say that the results are official. Bylaws say that this should only be opposed if there is a significant reason

No objections. Milan and Kevin abstain. Motion passed.

11. IN-CAMERA ITEMS

Billy: would anyone like to motion for new officers and board to be able to stay for in-camera?

Ernesto moves to allow Samantha, Raneem, Colin, Aron, Sneha and Mark to stay for the In-Camera Session.

Apurv seconds.

Twesh opposed. Rob, Ryan, Chris, and Ogi abstaining. Motion carries.

12. OTHER BUSINESS

Amy: Do we have to ratify the Baja Team levy?

Rachel: It is too late

Raffi: They can appeal to run it for next year

Minutes

Item Discussion Final Recommendation

1 - Liaising with OEC and CEC needs to be

expanded e.g. attending meetings. They

do what a board member does for

disciplines

- Should they have a report like officer

reports?

- Committee seems to agree

- Last time we looked at what this person

would do, now looking at what this

person would actually do

- Comes down to if we see value;

e.g. provincial wide advocacy

could be valuable

- This year was very internal

focused, do we want to be more

external focused next year? Some

colleges were criticised for being

too external

- Should be open to external, but

focused on internal

- Is there enough substance for

officer level?

- A lot of trust in directors, as long

as there’s clear line of oversight

from officer team

- Looking at directors, it’s mostly

for competencies than vision

- Maybe could make a temporary

director (under president), then

evaluate it at the end of the year,

decide whether to make it officer

or director

- Might be a matter of the board

not council

- Difficult to bring in someone who

doesn’t know what’s going on, so

MOTION by Milan to create the External Relations Director as a Temporary Directorship. WHEREAS the Policy & Structures Committee was mandated at the February Meeting of the Board of Directors to consider matters on external relations; WHEREAS the Engineering Society has re-affiliated with ESSCO as an OEC-only member and has undertaken additional responsibilities as such; WHEREAS it has been recognized that the Engineering Society is increasingly involved in liaising with external groups; BE IT RESOLVED THAT the position of External Relations Director is created as a Temporary Directorship; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the responsibilities of the External Relations Director shall be as follows:

a. Liaising with the Engineering & Professional Faculties Directors on the UTSU Board of Directors;

b. Liaising with the Professional Faculties Governor on Governing Council;

c. Representing the Engineering Society at provincial or national organization conferences including ESSCO and CFES, or appointing delegates to attend in their stead.

d. Organizing NEM events in collaboration with other directorships and the ESSCO NEM director; i. This includes coordinating the

construction of a badass Rube Goldberg machine that is better than that of all other ESSCO schools for the NEM CN tower lighting;

e. Developing and executing a strategy for

need to have a clear vision for

this position

- As NEM director, should engage

the community

- Decided to make a temporary internal

director

- They should liaise with

engineering directors, but not set

up EngSoc-UTSU meetings

required by the associate

agreement

- Should they be a board member?

Might be good to have a

mechanism to impell directors to

attend meetings. Maybe move to

instruct them to attend meetings.

bidding to host OEC on a 5-year basis; f. The External Relations Director shall report

directly to and be overseen by the President.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT notwithstanding any of the above responsibilities, the President may assume responsibility for any aspect of external relations; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT applications for the External Relations Director be opened immediately and the Director be elected at the May Board of Directors meeting; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the External Relations Director is encouraged to attend as many Board of Directors meetings as possible.

Mature Student Chair

Report

 

Mature Students’ Chair Report Friday Apr. 1, 2016 Pankaj K. Singh  (Peter) ­ Mature Student Chair 

Background The Engineering Society created a Mature Student's’ chair at the December 2015 Board of Directors meeting. Peter Singh was elected to the position in January 2016. Since then the Mature Students Chair has started creating a community to get a better understanding about the issues facing mature students. This report outlines the issues that have been identified so far as well as potential solutions. Finally, the next steps on how the solutions may be implemented are presented 

Issues Identified The following are issues which have been identified: 

● Difficulty in academic transition ○ Mature students might have been out of the formal education system for variable 

periods, which creates the problem in meeting the requirement of challenging fast paced curriculum. 

● Social isolation ○ Almost all of the mature students live in the social isolation. This problem is so 

much so that many of them think it is normal to be marginalized in the engineering student community. 

● Ageism ○ There is often a silent negative environment toward such students. It is a 

commonplace feeling that mature students are not supposed to perform and succeed like their younger counterparts. 

● Personal issues ○ There is no support structure for the students with families (wives/husbands and 

kids). All of the existing system is geared toward the graduate students and PhD students. 

● Academic administration issues ○ Academic course schedule is rigid during first two years, which contribute to the 

failure of mature students.  

 

Recommended Solutions The following are the potential way which the issue may be resolved or have less of a negative impact: 

● Assistance in academic transition ○ Mature students should be invited early to the university to discuss the transition. 

There may be special assistance to help them transition, like peer assisted introductory teaching sessions, which gives the glimpse of future studies and help them in early start. 

● Mentorship program ○  Mentorship program may be introduced where new students are matched with 

mentors from upper years. Mentors may be younger and mature students both. ● Ageism 

○ There should be official policy change about making mature students more visible in the engineering. It will help changing the perception about mature students. 

● Academic administration issues ○ Mature students should be given more flexibility to pick the number of courses 

and drop the courses. ● Personal issues 

○ To deal with personal issues existing structure can be modified to help mature students. 

● Mature students affairs study and advocacy committee at the faculty level ○ There may be a committee at the administration side to study the mature 

students issues and recommend the actions. 

Next Steps Moving forward, it is suggested to hold a meeting to discuss these matters with the following: 

● President of the Engineering Society, (outgoing and incoming)  ● Vice President Academic of the Engineering Society, (outgoing and incoming) ● Faculty’s Vice Dean Undergraduate ● Faculty’s First Year Chair
