CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.4e GRADE APPEAL PROCEDURE Grade Appeal Procedure The University of Alberta strives to provide a fair, open and supportive environment for students. (U of A 2010-11 Calendar, Section 20.2: Statement on Equity in Student Affairs).

Introduction The determination of the final grade in a course is the initial responsibility of the instructor(s), or the persons expressly authorized by the academic unit leader to determine the final grade. The School’s Faculty Council has the ultimate authority to determine the final examination grades and final grade in courses offered under its auspices. The School’s Faculty Council believes that the instructors are in the best position to assess the performance of their students and that department or centre (through the chair or director) are the custodians of acceptable standards of grading practices within the department or centre. However, a student does have recourse to procedures in certain situations in which disagreements may have arisen. Thus a student may: Apply for a reappraisal of an exam or final term paper worth more than 50% of the final grade (see Reappraisals Procedure); Initiate an informal grade appeal; or Initiate a formal grade appeal. The School advocates early and informal resolution of problems. Students are therefore encouraged to resolve their problems first through the School’s informal grade appeal procedures or reappraisals procedure.

Definitions Appeal

A request to overturn a final grade judgment.

Appellant

A student appealing a final grade in a course offered by the School.

Committee

The ad hoc committee established to hear the grade appeal.

Committee Chair

The chair of the ad hoc committee established to hear the grade appeal.

Department

The department or centre in the School which offered the course in which the final grade is being appealed.

Grade

A final grade, reflecting a judgment of a student’s achievement made by the instructor(s) based on a combination of absolute achievement and relative performance in a class.

Formal Appeal

Appealing to a committee constituted by the School Faculty Council once all other means of appeal have been exhausted.

Informal Appeal

Consultation about a grade or mark with the instructor, the chair of the department or director of the centre in which the course was taught, or the associate dean (education) of the School.

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES A. Introduction 1. University of Alberta The responsibilities of a faculty member at the University of Alberta are described in Article 7 of the 1998 AAS: UA Faculty Agreement: “A staff member shall be a scholar, active in teaching, in research, and in service.” (7.01)1 Teaching and research are expected of all staff members (7.03, 7.05) while more latitude is allowed in the assignment of responsibility for service (7.09). Although basic definitions of staff member responsibilities are contained in other subsections of Article 7, performance standards for these responsibilities are to be established in large measure by Faculties. Articles 12 and 13 of the 1998 agreement address faculty evaluation including merit increment, tenure, and promotion decisions. The purpose of this document is to state the School’s standards of performance (13.01a, 13.03) as called for in the Faculty Agreement. These are the standards that will guide the School Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) in its decisions. Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) shall consider the performance of each staff member in the faculty, except for that of the dean and/or department chair(s) (13.13).2 The primary focus of Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) deliberations will be to identify and reward meritorious performance. The award of increments and promotions shall be based on merit and not on length of service (13.05). Although an individual faculty member can anticipate steady advancement for meritorious performance as she or he progresses through each rank (assistant professor, associate professor, full professor), the application of the criteria for determining merit becomes stricter and the standards of merit higher. The standards of performance shall be higher in the higher ranks and as progress through the ranks occurs (13.06.01). The Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) is a statutory committee of Faculty Council. By approving these written standards, the School Faculty Council provides policy direction to the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC). The standards encourage consistency in the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) decisions both between staff members and across time. However, the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) is still expected to apply its own wisdom and common sense in judging individual cases. The Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) may change its application and interpretation of the standards as time passes, but this process should be gradual.

Note: All statements in this document printed in italics are excerpted from the 1998 Faculty Agreement Note: In the School, the director of the Centre for Health Promotion Studies shall have a role equivalent to that of a department chair. Thus, throughout this document, the terms ‘chair’ and ‘department chair’ include the director, Centre for Health Promotion Studies.

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES 2. Scholarship in the School of Public Health Academic staff of the School are expected to assume the general responsibilities indicated in the preceding section, i.e., teaching, research, and service. However, the interdisciplinary and applied nature of scholarship in public health, along with its broad mandate to protect health, promote health, and to prevent disease and injury, requires special consideration in the School Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) guidelines, as reflected in the following principles. The School subscribes to Boyer’s (1990) inclusive definition of scholarship that includes the scholarship of integration and the scholarship of application, as well as the scholarship of discovery and of teaching.3 Boyer also emphasized the importance of the scholarship of engagement that connects these four dimensions of scholarship to ‘understanding and solving pressing social, civic and ethical problems’. These dimensions of scholarship and their implications are discussed in the Report of the Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health Professions (2005)4. The School is committed to continuing to build effective scholarly interactions with its partners and with communities outside the University of Alberta. The School thus recognizes the importance of the scholarship of engagement for its faculty members with respect to their teaching, research and service activities. In teaching and service, engaged scholarship represents an important extension of more traditional activities. In public health research, engaged scholarship represents the role of faculty members in bringing knowledge and evidence to bear on important issues of public health practice, programs and policy, and is described in these guidelines as engaged scholarship in research, in association with more traditional research. Principle 1: Faculty members within the School will be evaluated with respect to engaged scholarship as indicated by the impact of their work on public health including the effectiveness of knowledge transfer and exchange with stakeholders outside the University of Alberta. The School explicitly adopts the principle that engaged scholarship including knowledge transfer and exchange is an additional area for evaluating meritorious performance of faculty members. Although academic public health requires strong disciplinary work, it is inherently multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in nature. Consequently, academic staff of the School will be recognized for engaging in scholarship that makes connections across disciplines and through this activity, advances knowledge and insight. Principle 2: Faculty member contributions toward multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary public health scholarship will be given equivalent weight in the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) process to determine merit increments, tenure, and promotion decisions as similar work done within a single discipline or within the School, with the support of the chair / dean. These contributions include publications involving interdisciplinary collaborators from other faculties or centres; teaching in interdisciplinary courses, whether coordinated by the School or another faculty; multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research conducted with colleagues in another 3 4

B. Faculty Evaluation Committee and Review Process 1. Composition of Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) The School Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) will include 3 ex-officio members, each with voting privileges: 1) the dean of the School, who will chair the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) and annual meetings, 2) the chair, Department of Public Health Sciences, and 3) the director, Centre for Health Promotion Studies who functions as a department chair. Three regular voting members of the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) and one alternate non-voting member will be elected by Faculty Council from the pool of tenured School faculty members. Regular voting Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) members will serve for a two-year term and be elected to stagger their terms; the alternate non-voting Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) member will serve for one year. The alternate member will be present at Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) meetings, but will not vote except in cases where regular elected Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) members are excused (e.g. absence of a voting member or conflict of interest). In the case of Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) meetings for purposes of tenure review, another voting tenured member will be elected from the department of the candidate and may be the alternate Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) member. Two other Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) members will be appointed. One voting member external to the School will be appointed by the provost and vice-president (academic) from the President’s Review Committee (PRC). One other Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) member (non-voting) external to the University of Alberta will be appointed by the dean from a list of nominees made by Faculty Council from a pool of adjunct faculty and external stakeholders with interests in public health. The appointed external member will not vote, but will participate in Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) discussions in order to provide commentary on contributions of faculty members to applied scholarship. Quorum will be five of six (80%) of voting members, excluding the dean who must be present as Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) chair and who will vote in case of ties. 2. Performance Review Process On an annual basis, each faculty member's progress will be reviewed by the department chair and Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) based on Article 7 (University Responsibilities), Article 8 (Supplementary Professional Activities) and Article 13 (Faculty Evaluation). At appropriate times after the initial appointment, each faculty member will be considered for tenure and / or promotion (Article 12). If a faculty member is granted one or more leaves during a probationary period and, if the length or type of leave is such that it materially affects the performance on which the faculty member is to be assessed, the probationary period shall be extended for one or more years. This extension shall be made by the provost and vice-president (academic) on the recommendation

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES of the dean following consultation with the department chair and the faculty member. It is the responsibility of the chair and Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) to ensure that the faculty member is not disadvantaged by such leave(s). In the School, annual reviews of performance will be based on job description and contributions in the following categories: teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service. In addition to the annual report, which follows a precisely defined format, objective documentation addressing the faculty member’s contributions may include formal and informal feedback from students, peers, or supervisors. For those faculty members who are also members of interdisciplinary teaching and / or research groups and / or have significant academic activities external to the University, input from team members outside the School will be considered. Included with the annual report will be evidence of faculty member’s contributions to engaged scholarship in teaching or service, and particularly as related to research, including knowledge transfer and exchange activities and the impact of their work on the field of public health in the year under review. Academic staff will be evaluated on a calendar year basis, i.e., from January 1 to December 31. Each staff member is required to submit a preliminary annual report in the first week of December and a final annual report in the defined format with any other material to the department chair no later than eight calendar days after December 31. After meeting with individual faculty members to review their annual reports, academic progress, and plans, the department chair will provide individual recommendations regarding merit increments to the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) with a copy to the staff member. Procedures for tenure and promotion are outlined in Appendices A and B. January 8

C. Performance Assessment and Standards For each category of performance (i.e. teaching, research / engaged scholarship, service), performance assessment and standards will be discussed as if the evaluation was to be based solely on that category. The weighting by performance category depends on the position description of the faculty member. Weighting for most faculty members is 40:40:20 for teaching, research /

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES

| 25


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES engaged scholarship, and service respectively; for research-intensive faculty the weighting may be 15:75:10; and for a small number of teaching-intensive faculty it may be 60:20:20. In all cases staff will be evaluated relative to their individual position description, and personalized letters will be prepared and sent to each individual. It is recognized that there are significant overlaps among the three categories. Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) will exercise its judgment in arriving at a decision on overall performance based on performance in each category and the weighting of categories in the position description. 1. Teaching The Faculty Agreement defines teaching as follows: Participation in undergraduate and graduate teaching programs, including classroom teaching, supervision of graduate students, and personal interactions with and advising of students (7.02a) Except where a staff member has a reduced teaching assignment, performance as a teacher shall be of major importance in the review (13.06.2). Evaluation of teaching will be broadly based including evaluation of course content, course design, and performance in the classroom (13.06). Expectations for performance as a teacher will increase with increasing seniority. Normally, each staff member will be assigned one - two FCE's (full course equivalents) per year (i.e. one or two three-credit courses per term). Beginning assistant professors will normally be assigned one Full Course Equivalent (FCE) per year and research-intensive staff one-half – one Full Course Equivalent (FCE). Intersession teaching may be a part of the normal teaching load. Alternative delivery of teaching (e.g., via online education) may also be part of the normal teaching load. As staff of a primarily graduate School, faculty members are expected to undertake substantial amounts of graduate student supervision. Equivalent supervisory loads may be considered to be six MPH, two MSc or one PhD student. Examples of graduate supervisory loads may include: for faculty with 40:40:20 position descriptions 18 supervisory equivalents (e.g. six MPH, two MSc and one PhD student); and for research-intensive faculty 30 supervisory equivalents (e.g. three PhD, two MSc and six MPH students). Teaching may also include supervision of students who are working in the public health field as part of their professional training (i.e. supervision of practicum experience). Supervision of post-doctoral fellows will also be considered. Staff members are expected to maintain a teaching dossier in addition to their curriculum vitae. Teaching performance for all members of the School is expected to be of consistently high quality. A sustained effort, with emphasis on continuing improvement or maintenance of performance, is expected of all staff members. Program / course coordinators are expected to be the organizers and leaders in carrying out teaching responsibilities in their area; they are expected to ensure that courses under their jurisdiction relate to, and articulate with, allied course work offered within the School. Indicators used to assess teaching performance will include but not be limited to: developing new courses, leadership in educational program development; teaching course load, including teaching of new courses;

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES attainment of good / satisfactory scores on student evaluations; student comments on course evaluations and through other sources; comments by peers and colleagues and / or administrators; versatility; the ability to teach different class sizes and to use online technology; quality and quantity of graduate student supervision, including mentoring and successful degree completion; graduate student achievement of external awards and publications; independent problem solving in matters relating to teaching assignments; creativity and innovation, and keeping abreast of new developments; acting as a resource to colleagues, including production of teaching aids; recognition by teaching awards; commitment to professional development of teaching skills. Engaged scholarship in teaching will also be considered in assessing performance including indicators such as: developing and maintaining professional or community-based learning programs; developing and maintaining organizational linkages for educational purposes between the School and professional or community-based organizations. a. Superior / Outstanding Performance A staff member would have demonstrated superior performance by exceeding expectations in graduate student supervision, and in teaching activities such as lectures, small group learning, field practicum experiences, or continuing professional development programs. Examples of superior performance include teaching evaluations in the top 10%; contributions to course and / or curriculum development; and a consistently high level of quality and quantity of graduate student supervision and performance. Included would be a successful educational administrative role such as chairing a School or departmental education-related committee. Leadership in the educational realm will be considered a measure of superior performance and include the development, implementation and / or evaluation of innovative teaching methods, or novel continuing professional development or community-based learning programs. They may have been nominated and / or received one of the School’s annual awards for excellence in teaching or supervision / mentoring or an external award / recognition. b. Good / Satisfactory Performance A staff member would have met expectations by demonstrating consistently satisfactory performance in all teaching and supervisory activities. This would include fulfillment of their assigned teaching duties within the context of their job description; satisfactory evaluations of their teaching activities by students; successful supervision of

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES appropriate numbers of students; and demonstrated commitment to personal professional development of their teaching or supervisory skills. c.

Acceptable / Below expectations Performance A staff member would have demonstrated performance below expectation in their teaching performance by inconsistent teaching evaluations with several below average scores; inconsistent evaluation of graduate student experience by students and / or peers; a paucity of requests or reluctance to accept graduate students for supervision; and / or a lack of commitment to professional development in the area of teaching / supervision.

d. Unacceptable performance A staff member would have demonstrated unacceptable performance by consistent under-performance in their teaching activities as evidenced by an unwillingness to participate in teaching activities or graduate supervision; and / or consistently poor evaluations of teaching activities or graduate supervision. Documented unprofessional or unethical behavior in the teaching role would be considered unacceptable, as would unresponsiveness to recommendations for professional development of teaching or supervisory skills. 2. Research and Engaged Scholarship The Faculty Agreement defines research as follows: Participation in research, including both original research and reflective inquiry, and the dissemination of the results of research by means appropriate to the discipline(s) (7.02b). Both research and engaged scholarship will be considered in the performance review with the balance determined by the faculty member’s position description and performance goals; this balance may range from minimal engaged scholarship to a predominant role in this area. Throughout these guidelines the format ‘research / engaged scholarship’ is used to refer to this balance. Expectations for performance in research / engaged scholarship will increase with increasing seniority. Research Performance in research will be of major importance in the review unless a staff member's contract indicates otherwise. All members of the academic staff are expected to engage in research appropriate to the scholarly functions of the School. Expectations for rank will be determined, in part, based on demonstrated performances of faculty within the School. For faculty with 40:40:20 position descriptions, research expectations for good / satisfactory performance normally include a minimum of two peer reviewed articles per year and one submitted grant application (unless existing grants have more than 18 months to run); and for research-intensive faculty, a minimum of four peer reviewed articles per year and maintenance of one peer reviewed grant as principal or two grants as co-investigator. Indicators used to assess research contributions will include but not be limited to: originality, independence and excellence in science;

In the case of multi-year projects, the faculty member must indicate in the annual report the research contributions in the year under review using appropriate indicators (13.07). Engaged Scholarship: Knowledge Transfer and Exchange School faculty members are expected to bring to bear advanced skills and knowledge on important public health problems, policies, and issues. To create the opportunity for these contributions, partnerships and networks between academics and external constituencies are required. All stages of a process that engage faculty talents and skills in the definition, implementation, and / or evaluation of public health policies and practices, broadly defined, will be considered. Faculty members are expected to submit material indicating their contributions to engaged scholarship, including knowledge transfer and exchange and impact on public health, as part of their annual review documentation. Indicators used to assess performance in engaged scholarship will include but not be limited to: engaging the community in the formulation of research questions and / or using participatory research methods; evidence that the research responds to an issue or need identified by the community, and that the community was integrally involved throughout all phases of the research; evidence that research results were incorporated into an organization (reflected in strategic plans or business plans, results used to leverage other resources), particularly organizations responsible for the delivery or evaluation of public health services; production of a research synthesis document; (e.g. suitable for the Cochrane or Campbell Collaborations, commissioned research, research monograph or textbook that provides a

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES acceptance of administrative work (e.g., admissions, course coordination, chairing examination committees); contributions to student life; preparation of faculty proposals (e.g. funding applications, chair proposals); liaison or representative functions with other faculties. Contributions to Public Health Service If applicable, staff members may be assessed on the extent and quality of their public health service and / or their contributions to the field of public health. This will include public health practice, as well as administrative and managerial responsibilities. There is an expectation that faculty having a job description that includes public health service will maintain at least a good / satisfactory evaluation in this category. Public health service may be a necessary condition for awarding of a salary increment or for promotion, but it will not be sufficient as the sole indicator for such consideration. Indicators used to assess contributions to public health service will include but not be limited to: evaluation of the effectiveness (e.g., outcomes, impact) of the service; public health program development or innovations; development of public health practice guidelines; development of unique public health initiatives (e.g. emergency preparedness); public health program administration; active cross-appointments to public health service or related organizations; quality of services provided; results of formal evaluation by patients / clients; results of formal evaluation by colleagues or administrators; reputation as a public health clinician and / or strategist; awards, letters of recognition from external organizations. Engaged scholarship in service will also be considered in assessing performance including indicators such as: creating and maintaining organizational structures that link the School to the community in innovative partnerships; facilitating interactions between researchers and potential users of research results including municipal / provincial / federal governments (e.g. workshops, briefings, conferences, think tanks). a. Superior / Outstanding Performance Service contributions that exceed expectations can be related to one or more of the three areas above, and include contributions to the discipline such as serving as chair of a grants panel or site visit, serving as editor of a high-impact journal, organizing a major national or

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES international conference, serving as president of a professional organization; or recognition by receipt of a service award from a professional society. Superior performance in service to the department / faculty / University of Alberta would be recognized by effective leadership in coordination of teaching programs, chairing major committees, or developing significant new educational or research initiatives. Superior contributions to public health service would include leadership of widely recognized high quality programs or the development of service innovations. Engaged scholarship in service will have significantly exceeded expectations of external stakeholders. b. Good / Satisfactory Performance A staff member would have met expectations for good / satisfactory performance in service to the discipline by ad hoc review of research proposals and articles; serving on a grants panel, editorial board or conference organizing committee; or holding office or committee membership in a professional organization. Satisfactory service performance for the department / faculty / University of Alberta would include serving on teaching and/or administrative committees; participating in policy development; and / or organizing departmental / faculty functions. Public health service contributions would have met the quality standards of the external partner stakeholders. Engaged scholarship in service will have met expectations of community organizations or users of research. c. Acceptable / Below Expectations A faculty member would be judged to have performed below expectation in relation to service contributions by consistently failing to participate in discipline-related activities; by making minimal contributions to the organizational efforts of the department / faculty / University of Alberta and / or by frequent absences from the department / faculty or its unit meetings. Public health service contributions would not have met the expectations of external partner stakeholders. Engaged scholarship contributions will not have met expectations of external stakeholders. d. Unacceptable Performance Unacceptable performance would include refusal to participate in at least one department / faculty / University of Alberta committee; or to peer review journal articles or grant applications. It would include being asked to withdraw from a review or other committee for ethical reasons (e.g., breach of confidentiality); or provision of misleading information to the public. Public health service contributions or engaged scholarship activities will have been considered inadequate by external partner stakeholders. 4. Professional Conduct In addition to the areas mentioned above, a high standard of professional conduct will be expected of all members of the School. Where conduct has been called into question, this category will receive specific attention. Otherwise, it is expected that in carrying out teaching, conducting research and applied scholarship, and providing service to the School, University of Alberta, and wider community, the staff member’s professional conduct will at all times conform to that laid down within the code of ethics of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), and where appropriate, that of related disciplines or professional bodies. A. Application of standards for staff members who are on leave for all or a portion of the academic year under review (13.12)

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES For periods of leave (e.g. parental, medical) or secondment of six months or less duration (or twelve months half-time), performance will be evaluated for the balance of the year and extrapolated to the full year. Periods of leave or secondment that exceed six months will not be considered in the evaluation of performance. Sabbatical or study leave policy and procedures are not included here and are described in Appendix C.

D. Assignment of Responsibilities and Merit Increments 1. Assignment of Staff Responsibilities The department chair shall assign to each staff member specific responsibilities, which shall include courses to be taught and other teaching duties and may include supervisory and administrative responsibilities (7.03). For faculty in the School, these assignments will be confirmed in writing after the department chair’s annual meeting with the staff member to discuss performance goals for the coming year. Performance goals will include expectations regarding research plans for the coming year, except in cases where the staff member's contract deems otherwise. In considering the assignment of responsibilities and individual performance goals, a balance must be considered between the needs of the School and the focus of the individual's activity. In the case of department chair reviews, the annual meeting will take place with the dean after submission of the annual report and related materials, and mutually agreeable commitments and performance goals for the chair will be determined.

2. Merit Increments Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) will assess each faculty member annually regarding his / her contributions to teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service in accordance with his / her formal job description. Expectations for acceptable, good / satisfactory, superior and outstanding performance increase with rank and seniority. Merit increments are earned by achievements, contributions and significant professional development during the year under review and are not awarded automatically. There is a limited pool of merit increments, and the awarding of increments is a relative process. In assessment of teaching, it is recognized that course loads may fluctuate between years, and that consideration of performance over more than one year may be used by the chair to assist Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) in the overall evaluation. In assessment of research publications, submitted articles will not be considered and merit increments will be assessed on papers published in the print form of the journal during the year under review. If electronic publication (e-pub) occurs in the year under review with the print form of the journal occurring in the following year, the publication will be counted in the following year. It is recognized, however, that research productivity may fluctuate from year to year and that publication history and “in press” articles may be used by the chair to assist Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) in the overall evaluation. Electronic publications, web and CD-based teaching modules, governmental position or policy papers shall be considered scholarly work with merit assessed by evidence of their impact. Faculty members are expected

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES

| 35


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES to indicate their individual contributions to multi-authored publications or group research grants. Normally, single (1.0) increments are awarded to individuals who have demonstrated good/satisfactory performance in teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service. Except in cases where the staff member's contract deems otherwise, teaching and research / engaged scholarship are of equal and major importance in the awarding of increments. Normally, less than one increment will be awarded to individuals whose performance in teaching or research / engaged scholarship has been below expectations for rank. Multiple increments may be awarded to individuals who’s teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service is demonstrably superior. In all instances, a staff member's performance will be compared to the performance of other individuals at the same rank. Criteria for merit increments will be applied with increasing stringency as a staff member progresses through the ranks. Improvement in or maintenance of quality and competence in teaching and research is expected. When appropriate, a cumulative assessment over a period of several years may be considered to increase the merit increment by 0.5, e.g. for a faculty member who has consistently performed somewhat better than expected for rank, and conversely, cumulative assessment of performance as somewhat less than average for rank over several years may result in the awarding of 0.5 increments instead of 1.0. Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) will ensure that significant achievements are recognized in the year under review (i.e. the year in which they occurred). Multiple previous extra increments will not mitigate against the award of extra merit recognition in the year under review. Normally, sabbatical leave performance will be awarded a single (1.0) increment, provided that the staff member has fulfilled the sabbatical leave plan previously approved by Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC). a. Outstanding (Two or more merit increments) When the faculty member has made exceptional achievements during the year, or has achieved a superior rating in two or more categories; i.e. teaching, research / engaged scholarship, service. This level of achievement is likely to be seen in less than 1% of faculty members in a given year. b. Superior (One and one-half merit increments) When the faculty member has performed significantly better than expectations for rank, normally achieving a superior rating in at least one category of evaluation. c. Good / Satisfactory (One merit increment) When the faculty member performance is good / satisfactory in all evaluation categories according to his / her position description, and professional development is at a level expected for rank.

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES d. Acceptable (One-half merit increment) When the faculty member’s performance in teaching or research / engaged scholarship is marginal and below expectations or overall performance is below expectations for rank but remains acceptable. e. Zero Increment If a department chair recommends that no increment be awarded to a staff member or if Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) decides that no increment be awarded to a staff member, in either or both cases, the decision shall be cited as one of the following (13.22): a.

that maximum for rank has been reached and standards for promotion have not been met but performance is acceptable notwithstanding;

b.

that performance requirements for an increment have not been met but performance is acceptable notwithstanding;

c. that academic performance while on authorized leave could not be properly evaluated; e.g. if a faculty member is on sabbatical leave and did not file an annual report with the chair. d. that academic performance is unsatisfactory and unacceptable. e.g. the faculty member performs assigned duties incompetently or significantly below expectations for the rank held, has breached the Faculty’s Code of Conduct, or his/her professional development has ceased. An “unacceptable” evaluation of any of teaching, research/applied scholarship, or service (Section C – Performance Standards) warrants consideration of a 0d recommendation. In cases where a staff member's academic performance has been evaluated as unacceptable [i.e., the staff member has been awarded 0 (d) increments] in two of the three preceding years, and provided that the staff member has not had such appeal upheld by the General Appeals Committee (GAC), the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) chair shall refer the record of the staff member to the provost and vice-president (academic) with a recommendation that the staff member be disciplined (14.01). Procedures governing Unacceptable Academic Performance are detailed in Article 14 of the Agreement.

E. Tenure and Appointment as Associate Professor Tenure is in no sense the right of a School staff member who has served his or her time of probation. Regulations regarding consideration for tenure early in the probationary period, and decisions at the end of the first and second probationary periods, are described in Article 12.11 to 12.17 of the Faculty Agreement. The School endorses the following principles, as identified in the Faculty Agreement: A staff member may be appointed in accordance with this Article as a staff member with tenure, or as a staff member on probation leading to consideration for tenure. (12.01) A person appointed to the staff as a professor has tenure. (12.03a) A person appointed as an associate professor has tenure unless a constituted advisory selection committee recommends that there be a probationary period and the Dean

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES

| 37


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES appoints with such a probationary period. If the dean appoints an associate professor with a probationary period, the procedures of 12.06 and following apply. (12.03b) A person appointed as an assistant professor shall be on a probationary period. (12.04) A staff member appointed without tenure shall serve one or more probationary periods. (12.06). Normally, the first probationary period shall be for four years. (12.07-12.09). The second probationary period shall be for two years. (12.10). The standards of performance in place at the time of appointment shall not be changed during the time of probation (13.10) The award of tenure and promotion of a staff member shall be decided by Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) following review of the staff member’s performance over the complete career. (13.26) For the award of tenure, the staff member must demonstrate a strong record of achievement in teaching and research, and must demonstrate on the basis of performance while on probation that he / she is capable of contributing effectively as a staff member in all areas of responsibility. (13.05c) The review of a staff member’s performance for appointment with tenure shall include a consideration of the following categories: teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service. Each category is considered important in the assessment of performance; however, in School, staff members are expected to spend the majority of their time in teaching and research / engaged scholarship. The balance between research and engaged scholarship will vary as determined by the staff member’s position description and performance goals. The staff member must have consistently produced high quality research / engaged scholarship and demonstrated continued effectiveness as a teacher to earn an appointment with tenure. A recommendation for tenure, received by Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) in accordance with the procedures of Article 12, shall automatically include recommendation for designation as Associate Professor. (13.25) [Appendix A describes School Procedures Determining the Award of Tenure.]

F. Promotion to Professor The School endorses the following principle of promotion to professor, as identified in the Faculty Agreement: A tenured staff member shall be eligible to apply for promotion to the rank of professor when his or her current salary is within one increment of, or is higher than, the salary minimum of professor. (13.26) Promotion to the rank of professor is an important but not automatic or mandatory step in an academic career. Promotion to professor shall be awarded for a cumulative record of qualitatively superior performance in teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service. Promotion shall be the result of a career review in which there must be concrete evidence that the staff member has obtained national and international recognition as an expert in a particular content area.

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES


CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES For promotion to professor the staff member must demonstrate a strong record of achievement in teaching, research and service, including excellence in teaching and / or research, or, in rare circumstances, a record of exceptional service. (13.05 d) In considering promotion to the rank of professor, the following principles shall apply: Promotion to professor requires evidence of achievements and effectiveness in teaching, research / engaged scholarship, and service that are superior to those required for awarding of tenure and appointment to the rank of associate professor. The conditions of the staff member's contract will be considered in determining the relative importance of teaching, research / applied scholarship and service. Teaching and research / engaged scholarship are of major and equal importance. In unusual circumstances a record of exceptional service will be given similar consideration 1. Teaching The staff member must demonstrate excellence in teaching. Evidence of teaching effectiveness will be based on information from both students and peers. An individual whose teaching effectiveness is deemed to be minimally competent will not be promoted to the rank of professor. 2. Research and Engaged Scholarship The staff member must demonstrate excellence in research and be considered a national and international expert by his / her peers. Indicators will include evidence of a sustained, high quality research program; national / international stature; testimony to the quality of the staff member's research activities provided by knowledgeable colleagues. Excellence in engaged scholarship requires evidence of recognition that the staff member’s work has had a substantial impact on public health practice or policy; that sustained partnerships with external organizations are contributing new knowledge and evidence to decision making, and testimony to the quality of the staff member’s engaged scholarship by knowledgeable colleagues. The balance between research and engaged scholarship will vary as determined by the staff member’s position description and performance goals. An individual whose effectiveness in research / engaged scholarship is deemed to be minimally competent will not be promoted to the rank of professor. 3. Service The staff member is expected to have made significant professional contributions at provincial, national, and international levels. He / she must also demonstrate a leadership role in the administrative activities of the School and University of Alberta. Contributions to public health service, where applicable, must be recognized as significant at the provincial, national or international level.

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES 2. Recommendations a. A completed application form with supporting documents, if any, should be submitted to the department chair, which will check for the eligibility of the applicant for sabbatical. The department chair shall make a recommendation and comment on any aspect of the proposed sabbatical including: i.

the merit of the proposed program;

ii. the expected benefits to the staff member, School and University of Alberta; iii. the impact of proposed sabbatical on teaching requirements; iv. the impact of proposed sabbatical on administrative activities; v. the arrangements for supervision of graduate students; vi. past performance (performance during and since the last sabbatical); vii. the financial implications to the School during the sabbatical period. b. The dean will submit each application for sabbatical to the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) no later than November 15th for recommendation regarding acceptability of the proposed program. c. If applications exceed the Faculty’s quota, the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) shall recommend on the order of ranking of the applications. For rank ordering of the acceptable sabbatical programs, the following factors will be considered: past performance (performance during and since the last sabbatical); strengths and weaknesses of the proposed program; the department chair’s recommendation; number of applicants from the School; and number of years since last sabbatical, or since joining staff. 3. Decision The dean will consider the recommendations of the department chair and the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC). The dean will also consider the effect the sabbatical may have on the School and / or department, the financial implications and availability of replacement, and other such matters as considered relevant. On the basis of the foregoing considerations, the dean will make the final decision on sabbatical requests. 4. Decisions with Respect to Sabbatical The decision reached regarding an application for sabbatical shall be one of the following: a. sabbatical is granted; b. sabbatical is denied; c. sabbatical is deferred to the next leave year; d. application is placed on a waiting list pending withdrawal by approved applicants (waiting list used in the event Faculty reached ten percent limit for number of sabbaticals).

CRITERION 1.0 – APPENDIX 1.5a (iii) FACULTY EVALUATION COMMITTEE (FEC) GUIDELINES 5. Administrative Deferrals An acceptable applicant may be asked to defer sabbatical for six to twelve months for administrative reasons such as: a. sabbatical will hamper normal functioning of the School; b. financial implications may make it impossible to replace the individual; Such time shall, nevertheless, be counted toward eligibility for a succeeding sabbatical 6. Changes in Program for Sabbatical Any major change in the program as submitted must be reported in writing to the dean and chair, giving reasons for the change and requesting approval of the chair and dean. 7. Report on Sabbatical a. The usual annual report form should be used, with attachments, providing greater detail of the activities undertaken during the sabbatical. The report is to be submitted to the dean and department chair within 3 months of completion of the sabbatical. b. To permit the department chair to evaluate sabbatical activities for the purpose of making recommendations to Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC), the sabbatical report should address the specific objectives of the sabbatical as outlined in the sabbatical application. 8. Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) Evaluation of Year in Which Sabbatical Occurred The Faculty Agreement makes no differentiation between staff members on campus and those away from campus and, therefore, the chair will make recommendations to Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) with respect to the performance of the staff member during the sabbatical period. The committee will consider the recommendation in light of the criteria and standards established for the faculty, keeping in mind the particular goals and objectives as described in the original application, and the content of the annual report covering the sabbatical period.

APPENDIX D POLICY GOVERNING SUPPLEMENTARY PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES (SPA) The School accepts the University of Alberta's policy on Supplementary Professional Activities (SPA) as outlined in Article 8 of the Faculty Agreement as the basis for the School guidelines on SPA. 1. A staff member shall obtain written approval from the department chair prior to undertaking major SPA. Prior to approving SPA, the department chair shall ensure that primary University of Alberta responsibilities will be performed satisfactorily (8.09). In the case of a department chair, the department chair shall seek prior approval from the dean prior to undertaking major SPA. In the School, major SPA shall be defined as: a. teaching at another institution; b. paid activities that take up more than an annual average of one-half day per week. 2.

CRITERION 3.0 – APPENDIX 3.3a PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING COURSES AND CURRICULA Procedure for Managing Courses and Curricula Context: The School is at a critical juncture. Our strategic planning processes have resulted in a new administrative structure that requires both clarification of roles, and establishment of new processes to support this structure. At the same time our commitment to the accreditation process creates a time sensitive imperative to examine what and how we do things; and to establish credible processes that will support excellence in achievement of our educational mission. Focused review activities over the past few years have identified a number of areas where our programs, courses and curricula can, and must, be improved. The requirements of accreditation, combined with the strong level of faculty, student and external stakeholder consensus on needed changes provide the opportunity to make these needed improvements. Clear, effective and transparent processes are required to support this task. This discussion paper proposes a process for identifying and responding to needed changes to our education programs. The proposal is based on the following principles: clarity of roles clear responsibility, authority and accountability for decisions transparency effective, efficient and clear lines of communication ensuring opportunities for input and participation from affected faculty, staff and students

Proposed Process: 1. Any need for new course development, change, or suggested response with respect to individual courses or curricula as a whole is taken first and directly to the associate dean (education). Suggestions for change could come from individual faculty Members, students, department chairs, Professional Degrees Committee (PDC) and Research Degrees Committee (RDC) or concentration areas. 2. The submission to the associate dean (education) for course or curricula changes should be in the form of a short (one to two page) proposal that identifies the issue, the rational for the change, the degree(s) that would be affected, and the resource implications (e.g., who would teach / coordinate a new offering). 3. The associate dean (education) consults with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., department chairs, Professional Degrees Committee (PDC), graduate coordinators, students) and determines whether to pursue the issue and if so, whether there is an existing group appropriate to address the issue (e.g. a specific concentration area or an existing School committee) or whether other alternatives (e.g. collaboration among stream representatives; inclusion of topic experts) are needed. 4. The associate dean (education) defines a working group (WG) to address the issue, requests participation after consulting with department chairs, creating new or combined groups as

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES

CRITERION 3.0 – APPENDIX 3.3a PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING COURSES AND CURRICULA needed. One person (appointed as WG chair), responsible for coordinating the task or issue to be handled, will be identified. Time lines for completion will be negotiated. 5. This assigned working group develops a proposal for an appropriate response. This response will be based on the following principles: Alignment with the vision and values of the (e.g. Emphasis on excellence; highest ethical and scientific standards; translating research into effective practices and sound policies; discovering, evaluating and disseminating solutions to health problems); Best practices in teaching, including principles of adult education, and needs of specific types of students; Responsiveness to the needs of the community and the Canadian health care system (i.e. Emphasis will be on the needs of our culturally diverse and rapidly evolving society for specific skills and competencies, and not purely on the specific teaching interests of individual faculty members); Responsive to student input and feedback; Contributing to accreditation requirements; Considering existing course outlines and objectives. The proposal will identify key competencies / capabilities to be addressed, and suggest – in broad terms – objectives, topics, outline, and format. It will also report on any identified issues, including remaining gaps or overlaps. In the case of a potential new course, the proposal will also clearly define a documented need for the course, including any gaps in the curriculum it is intended to fill. 6. This proposal will be submitted to the Education Executive Committee (EEC) (consisting of the associate dean (education), and chairs of the Professional Degrees Committee (PDC) and Research Degrees Committee (RDC), and to the department chairs. The assigned task leader from the Working Group will present the proposal and address questions or concerns to a joint meeting of the Education Executive Committee (EEC) and the department chairs. This group [Education Executive Committee (EEC) and department chairs] will review the proposal in light of larger curricula issues, related courses, or issues for further development, and the need to involve either Research Degrees Committee (RDC) or Professional Degrees Committee (PDC). 7. If the issue at hand deals with the creation of a new course, the department chairs will identify an appropriate faculty member(s) to develop and instruct the new offering, and communicate the agreed upon expectations. 8. The assigned faculty member(s) will submit the proposed course offering to the associate dean (education) who will review it in collaboration with the Education Executive Committee (EEC), and consultation with the WG chair. 9. Following review by the Education Executive Committee (EEC), the associate dean (education) will forward recommendations for the new / revised course to the Dean’s Executive Committee. 10. Course approval will be sought from Faculty Council.

CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.3c DIVERSITY WORK PLAN DIVERSITY ACTION PLAN – DRAFT 1 February 10, 2012 Introduction At a meeting with Executive Management Committee (EMC) on January 24, 2012, the diversity advisor was authorized to develop a work plan that would enable the School of Public Health to begin to address the issues identified through previous diversity consultation. The draft outlined here integrates a) consultation activities conducted to date, b) further focused discussion among leadership of the Student Diversity Working Group and the Diversity Advisor, c) review by Student Services office, and d) evidence from the diversification literature on effective approaches. This plan will require approval by Executive Management Committee (EMC) before it can be finalized. This will allow confirmation of target dates and specific activities. The first section of the plan is a summary of priority actions and rationale. This is followed by a draft of a detailed work plan for each of the priority areas. 1. Develop a branding / marketing plan for the SPH Diversity initiative. Rationale: While solid preparatory work has been undertaken, there remain concerns that a) there is relatively low awareness of the Diversity Initiative and need for diversity awareness; and b) that is spite of careful definition of concepts, ‘diversity’ tends to be largely defined as an ‘international student’ issue. This marketing plan is intended to guide prioritization of diversity education and organizational change initiatives. 2. Finalize and implement the SPH climate survey. Rationale: The Diversity Action Planning Group highlighted the need to both raise awareness of diversity issues and monitor progress in creating a climate of inclusivity. A working group reporting to the APG developed a draft survey in spring 2011. Given the time lapse since this was developed, the survey needs to be reviewed and updated, and a schedule for implementation developed. 3. Develop and implement a plan for integrating diversity awareness and education in all facets of School functioning. a. Develop a long term plan for identifying, reviewing and adapting organizational policy, strategic planning, academic planning, and educational activities in a way that integrates current knowledge on promoting an organizational culture of diversity. Rationale: The most effective strategies for promoting diversity are those focused on organizational change, where diversity in integrated into the structure and processes of the organization. b. In collaboration with the Student Services office, develop a plan for Student Services Diversity orientation / education; and review and of internal student-related processes and services. Rationale: Student Services is the first and continuing point of contact for students; therefore is a logical starting place for integrating diversity into policy, staff selection and education, and service planning activities.

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES

CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.3c DIVERSITY WORK PLAN c. Develop an internal (SPH) plan and protocols for bringing forward diversity concerns. Rationale: There is university policy (and associated services) to protect members of the university community from discrimination and to provide assistance to those who bring forward concerns (safe disclosure). There remains, however, a need for an internal SPH policy and protocol, promoted to all members of the School, on responding to any such issues initiating from within the School. This policy/protocol would be linked to larger university policy and resources. d. Integrate a diversity lens into ongoing competency/curricula development activities. Rationale: Given the importance of the curriculum in promoting both a climate supportive of diversity, and preparing students to provide leadership in a diverse society, a School of Public Health should assume a leadership role in modeling diversity in our teaching – both in content and in format (pedagogy). 4. Develop a plan for identifying and networking with groups with similar mandates, and/or who can support SPH diversity activities. Rationale: There are many groups with similar objectives and mandates both within the university and in the larger community. Through collaboration, SPH can benefit from the expertise and resources that could support our objectives. At the same time, it is recognized that there are varied approaches to promoting diversity, and referral to other services should be based on knowledge of service quality and philosophy.

Background: A number of strategies have been proposed to promote awareness, build a more positive perception of diversity, and position our diverse community to support and position the School for success. However, there is concern that each action be guided by an overall plan, is consistent with the messages that we want to convey, and reflects current evidence of effectiveness.

Rationale: Student Services is the first and continuing point of contact for students; therefore is a logical starting place for integrating diversity into policy, staff selection and education, and service planning activities. Background: Ongoing assessment with students has identified a number of areas of priorities for students. At this point, priorities are a) integration of diversity into School orientation activities (much of this was completed for fall 2011); additional orientation and support for international and new Canadian students; and supports for English language. It is felt to be critical at this time that there is some response to these long stated priorities. An action research approach is suggested – initiation of a service with the intent of continual monitoring and adaptation as needs are clarified.

Develop an internal (SPH) plan and protocols for bringing forward diversity concerns. Rationale: There is university policy (and associated services) to protect members of the university community from discrimination and to provide assistance to those who bring forward concerns (safe disclosure). There remains, however, a need for an internal SPH policy and protocol, promoted to all members of the School, on responding to any such issues initiating from within the School. This policy/protocol would be linked to larger university policy and resources. Background: Although anticipated to be rare, those involved in diversity discussions have identified the potential of concerns/complaints about discrimination as the most concerning. For this reason, there is concern to have clearly communicated School policy and processes (i.e. while services such as the Office of Human Rights and Safe Disclosure would be a resource, there is a need to communicate how concerns would be handled within the school – if disclosure was first made to a member of the SDWG or faculty or staff member, what guidelines should be followed?). There was discussion on this topic and draft guidelines developed by the Diversity Action Planning Group, but these were never finalized. Activity

It is a critical time for ensuring that, where appropriate, the curriculum integrates diversity issues (preferred over having a separate course on this topic), and that professional development opportunities for faculty include awareness and skill development of diversity of pedagogies and strategies for facilitating mutual learning in a diverse environment.

CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.5a DIVERSITY STRATEGIES Diversity Strategies A. BACKGROUND TO DIVERSITY INTIATIVES AT THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH In July 2010, the associate dean (education), in recognition of the importance of this issue, requested Dr. Sarah Bowen to initiate a series of consultations, and to develop a strategy to create and promote a culture of diversity within the School. In response to an email to all students requesting participation on an initial working group, four students volunteered to work on developing a plan for consultation, and facilitating student engagement on this issue. Several meetings have been held by this Diversity Working Group since September 2010, and one larger consultation (to which all students of the School were invited) was held in November 2010. This document is based on issues emerging from the planning meetings and student consultation, as well as individual, confidential input to Working Group members. It is intended to be a first step in promoting broad and ongoing discussion among all members of the School community.

B. DEFINING DIVERSITY It was recognized that there is, among faculty, staff and students, limited awareness (and much confusion) about what “diversity” means, and the scope of diversity initiatives. The Working Group expressed concern that diversity would be seen as an issue only of concern to international students, rather than an issue of concern and interest to all within the School. Early activities, therefore, have included developing and communicating a definition and vision of “diversity” and a “culture of diversity”, as well as clearly articulating the rationale for the School focusing on this issue. The Working Group is proposing a definition of diversity that recognizes, respects, and celebrates a broad range of characteristics and differences among people. These differences are not limited to ethnicity, race, language or national origin, but also include gender, sexual orientation, age, educational background, family status, religion, socio-economic standing, ability (physical, mental, cognitive), group affiliation, and individual ways of being and thinking. According to this view, each person has multiple, and often evolving, cultural identities. A culture of diversity creates and supports an environment where each person is valued, and is confident in contributing his/her insights and skills. It is not that differences are tolerated, but that diversity is seen as a source of strength, allowing organizations to be more innovative, flexible and adaptable, as they benefit from the contributions of all their members. All students, including students from the majority culture, benefit academically and socially in an academic environment that values and promotes diversity, and are better prepared to think, live and work in our global society. Strategies to promote diversity should reflect the participation of all community members. Strategies must also recognize and address the organizational and structural factors that hinder development of a culture of diversity.

238 |

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES


CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.5a DIVERSITY STRATEGIES It is noted that there is a research base on which approaches to diversity and diversity education are most effective: these should provide guidance to the development of diversity initiatives within the School. It was also noted that that the research in this area has made the ‘business case’ (i.e. given the rationale for overall organizational benefits) for diversity. Organizations, in a variety of sectors (financial, tourism, education) that are effective in promoting cultural diversity are often more successful.

Dimensions of Diversity, Taken from the University of Vienna

1. Implications for planning: It is important to communicate clearly that diversity issues are of concern to all, not simply International students, and diversity initiatives bring benefits to all. Similarly, the need for organizational and systemic responses (rather than simply interventions focused on individual awareness) must be highlighted.

C. DIVERSITY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED 1. Social and academic isolation of international (and new Canadian) students. A theme articulated by most students, and in many ways, is the isolation and separation many students experience, often profoundly. Many students report feeling intimidated, confused, and isolated. This often results in depression. a. Socially, it was noted that there was a ‘disconnect” between Canadian and International students, who tended to hang out socially in different groups. b. Academically, it was noted that there was little to orient and support students who did not have experience with health and health care in Canada, and that in spite of the diversity of the student body, the curriculum did not reflect this diversity.

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES

| 239


CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.5a DIVERSITY STRATEGIES Many different reasons are identified for this alienation. First, it is recognized that there are complex differences in cultural background that sometimes act as barriers to interaction. Many students are struggling to adapt to a new environment, to learn ‘how we do things here’, and are often coping with the anxiety and stress that comes from this adaptation. In addition, differences in past educational background and expectations sometimes make it challenging for all students to start at the same level as Canadian born students. It is noted that many students (not only international students) experience these challenges, but there are often added complexities for international or new Canadian students. There is also often some discomfort on the part of Canadian born students, as they may lack the confidence to interact easily with students who are not fluent in English, or are of a different culture, race or religion. 2. Lack of reflection of diversity concepts in program, curricula and performance expectations. It was also noted by some that non-Canadian experience was often not valued. For example, some students have been given the message that publications in other languages ‘did not count’, and it was observed that there are limited opportunities for students and faculty to learn from the often rich experience and accomplishments of international and new Canadian students. The current program and teaching is generally experienced as mono-cultural, and failing to engage the diverse experiences of all students. This relates both to gaps in content and performance expectations. This is of concern given the facts that addressing disparities and engaging communities are central to public health, and we have a large global health stream. It is felt that we are also missing opportunities to enrich the learning of all students. It is also noted that this lack of response to diversity has the potential to negatively affect the School’s profile. One small example of the lack of awareness is labelling all diversity issues as “international student” issues, where in fact, new Canadian students have many similar experiences and Canadian born visible minority or Aboriginal students may also face stereotyping and prejudice. It is felt that not all students/staff/faculty understand the concept of diversity and everything it entails. 3. Lack of individual cultural awareness and sensitivity. There are also concerns around attitudes and behaviours of a few individual faculty / staff. Students report experiences where they were exposed to ignorant, disrespectful, or even discriminatory comments. Others report being ignored (even not greeted by) some individuals. This is a factor affecting student confidence and ability to integrate into the School. It is reported that, in some cases, students may even hesitate to register for courses with some faculty due to these concerns. It is important to note that many students do not feel safe bringing these concerns forward.

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH – APPENDICES


CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.5a DIVERSITY STRATEGIES 4. Issues related to English language proficiency.

A number of issues were identified in this category: a. Standards and testing. There is concern among faculty that some students are passing the English language assessment tests, but still not proficient enough in English to be successful in their studies. It was also observed by students that some students are struggling in this area. However, it is important to note that current discussions about raising the standards have been interpreted by some students as an indication of a possible intent to keep out international students. Students do not believe that raising minimum TOEFL scores is the best solution to ensuring student success. While students absolutely agree with the importance of all students having good English language skills; some believe that concerns around language standards may reflect the lack of faculty experience in working in international settings, and the discomfort of some faculty in working in a multi-lingual environment (and with professionals with various levels of English language proficiency). It is noted that research indicates that it takes a minimum of five years for an English as an additional language student to develop English language skills to the level of graduate study. It was also noted that some lack of understanding of course material is not simply due to limited English language proficiency, but reflects a failure to provide adequate background, or to make explicit the specific Canadian context. In addition, there is little awareness among students of the larger discussions initiated by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR). Students have many innovative ideas about how to ensure that students have the English language skills to be successful at the School, while (at the same time) avoiding perceptions of discrimination, and ensuring that talented students are not hindered in their applications. It is essential that students are involved in the discussion of English language testing and standards. b. Failure to incorporate the benefits of a multilingual student body. It is also noted that the focus has been on ‘limited English proficiency’, rather than the linguistic and cultural fluency that students have in another (or often several other) languages. Rather than seeing this as a problem, it is felt that the School should develop strategies where this multi-lingual capacity is seen as a strength and benefit to the School. c. Ongoing barriers to participation. Even if students are assessed as having appropriate English language proficiency, they often find barriers to full participation in the social and academic life of the School. Again, students have creative ideas of how this can be addressed. d. Generic student concerns with special impact on minority culture students. It was also noted that some of the challenges facing all students (e.g. adapting to the culture and expectations of graduate school, limited support from advisors/supervisors) are often experienced in different ways by international and new Canadian students, or by students who are of a different generation.

CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.5a DIVERSITY STRATEGIES D.

POTENTIAL STRATEGIES Response to initiation of discussion and planning in this area has been greeted with enthusiasm by many students, and many practical responses have been proposed. 1. Communication strategies That promote the broad definition and focus of diversity initiatives. It is felt to be essential that diversity is seen as an issue of concern to all within the School, and that the benefits of a culture of diversity for all students are recognized. 2. Orientation program for new students. While it was recognized that the International Centre for Students had a useful role, and provided good service, this role was limited and focused on logistical issues. More is needed, and some of this should be at the School level. There is a need for support for the deeper levels of adaptation, including: how the university and school functions; orientation to Canadian health and health system issues and culture; and making explicit the cultural assumptions in health, education and society. Such an orientation was felt to be of benefit to both Canadian and international students. a. It was also felt that more effort should be directed to including a broader diversity of students in planning and leading current orientation activities. For example, the session on life as a graduate student could include by specific discussions focusing on the specific concerns of mature students or international students. 3. Ongoing opportunities for students to meet and discuss in groups. Several suggestions were received in this area. The Working Group has, consequently, decided to hold biweekly meetings, open to all students. These meetings are anticipated to provide a forum for sharing and support, as well for input to, and guidance of, diversity initiatives. Other suggestions (e.g. talking café or toastmasters club) may also be explored in the future. 4. Additional opportunities for input on this issue, including opportunities for confidential / anonymous input, as many of the student concerns were seen as sensitive and there were concerns about the ‘safety’ of bringing issues forward. It was suggested that an anonymous e-class discussion be established to facilitate this. This has now been set up, with a hope that it will be operating early in the New Year. 5. Identified responsibility centre for diversity issues. It was noted that there is not currently any clear point / person to whom issues of concern can be brought forward, or who has responsibility for maintaining information on diversity related services, or making appropriate referrals / problem solving. Students currently do not know where to go for help. 6. Enhanced diversity profile. It is recommended that a diversity webpage is established. This webpage would clarify our definitions / approach to diversity, provide links for input, and post events and reports. A

CRITERION 4.0 – APPENDIX 4.5a DIVERSITY STRATEGIES designated responsibility centre / role would also help promote an enhanced profile. An email address for the initiative has been set up as one step in this process. 7. Diversity education for faculty, staff and students. There was felt to be a need for cultural training for faculty, staff and students, in order to ensure that the barrier of lack of awareness was addressed. 8. Consultation with, and input from, students on the issues of English language testing. Students have suggested a separate meeting be held in January to focus on this issue, and that Dr. Bowen be invited to talk to students during this planned meeting. 9. Increasing opportunities for students and faculty of all backgrounds to learn from each other. a. Mentoring program: Some students are interested in establishing an informal mentoring program for new Canadian and international students in particular. b. Language volunteer program: It is suggested that a ‘language volunteer’ program which links interested English first language, with English additional language students would be one way of providing benefit to both students born in Canada, and those wishing to improve their language skills, while supporting the academic work of EAL students. c. International day events: One suggestion was an annual “international day” event where the cultures of other countries and traditions could be celebrated. It was felt that this could be a ‘fun’ way to increase intercultural awareness and interest.
