Bill 63 (Legislature 11, Session 3)

L11 S3 7091

Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 63 of 1950. A BILL TO AMEND THE UNIVERSITY ACT. NOTE. This Bill amends The University Act, being

chapter 179 of the Revised Statutes of Alberta,

Section 45 is struck out and a new

section is substituted which is reworded slightly for clarification without changing its effect. The former subsection (2) of

section 45 was a temporary provision which has now expired so it is accord ingly not included in the substituted section.

Section 47 is amended to change the term of office of the Chancellor from four years to six years. Members of the Board of Governors and of the Senate of the University are eligible for office for two terms of three years each and as a matter of practice nearly all of them hold office for a period of six years. It appears desirable that the term of office of the Chancellor should correspond with the others and

section 47 is amended accordingly to provide that the office shall be held for a single term of six years.

Section 50 is amended to make it clear that the Chancellor is required to be a resident of the Province.

Section 48 and other provisions require this by inference and this has always been the practice.

Section 61 (2) is amended by striking out clause (

p) and substituting some new clauses. The present clause (

p) en ables the General Faculty Council of the University to arrange with the governing bodies of certain designated professional societies to conduct the examinations of those societies. The effect of the amendment is to add to the list of societies the Alberta Registered Music Teachers' Associa tion and the Alberta Institute of Agrologists and to strike out the Alberta Optometric Association. Clauses (

q) and (

r) are similar to the latter portion of the present clause (

p) which they replace and they have been subdivided merely for purposes of clarification. Clauses (8) and (

t) of subsection (2) are new. They enable the General Faculty Council to waive examination of professional candidates applying for registration or ad mission if the qualifications of the candidate are equal to or better than the standard currently required by the society, college or association for registration or admission. In such a case the General Faculty Council reports its findings respecting the qualifications of the candidate to the govern ing body of the society, college or association concerned. A new subsection (3) is added to

section 61 which is similar to the latter part of the present subsection (2) (

p) which it replaces. This subsection provides authority for

ii these professional societies to enter into the arrangement with the General' Fa,culty Council for the conduct of their examinations and further provides that they shall be bound by the report of the General Faculty Council as to the qualifications of any candidate. KENNETH A. MCKENZIE, Acting Legislati-ve Counsel. (Thi8 note does not form any pwrt of the Bill but is offered ill explanation of its provisions.)
