OPEN Session
- Chair’s Remarks
The Chair welcomed members and guests to the meeting. He also congratulated winners of the elections of the Teaching Staff seats of the Academic Board. The Chair thanked everyone for their contributions to governance of the University.
Members who would continue to serve on the Academic Board in the coming year were reminded to complete an online form indicating on which of the Board’s standing committees – Agenda Committee, Committee on Academic Policy and Programs, or Planning and Budget – they would like to serve next year. The Chair advised members that there were also opportunities to serve on the Discipline Appeals Board (the body that hears a student’s or the University’s appeal of cases previously heard and decided upon by the University Tribunal Trial Division) and the Advisory Committee on the University of Toronto Library System.
The Chair advised members that three speaking requests had been received to address the Board with regards to the Budget Report: Evan Kanter, (Student Governor, Governing Council), Omar Gharbiyeh, (Vice-President, Public & University Affairs, University of Toronto Students’ Union – UTSU), and Ali Syed, (Advocacy Lead, Computer Science Students’ Union – CSSU). The requests had been granted.
- Report of the Vice-President and Provost
The Chair advised the Board that while the Provost had no formal report to the Board beyond what would be reported as part of the presentation of the Budget, she invited questions from members.
A member inquired about what supports were being made available to members of the community affected by the war in Ukraine. Referencing the Statement from President Meric Gertler, the Provost reiterated the University’s condemnation of the invasion of Ukraine. She reported that there were no University of Toronto (UofT) students currently in Ukraine or Russia on university activity and, to the University’s knowledge, none who were studying remotely in Ukraine. The Provost noted that more than 100 Ukrainian nationals and 190 Russian nationals were currently enrolled as students at UoT. She shared with members that the University was providing emergency living funds to students impacted by the war, and working with individual students on a case-by-case basis on tuition deferrals as needed. The University was also offering a wide range of other services to any community member in need of support in light of the war, which included mental health supports and supports from the Multi-Faith Centre. She added that the Scholars at Risk program was available to visiting scholars and scholars in Ukraine.
- Budget Report 2022-23 and the Long Range Budget Guidelines 2022-23 to 2026-27
The Chair informed the Board of the governance path for the Budget Report 2022-2023 and the Long Range Budget Guidelines 2022-2023 to 2026-27, noting that on February 28, 2022, the Planning and Budget Committee had reviewed the Reports and recommended their approval to Academic Board. He further commented that on March 15, 2022, the Business Board would review the Budget for concurrence with the Academic Board’s recommendation. It would then proceed to Governing Council for approval on March 31, 2022. The Provost, together with Scott Mabury (Vice-President, University Operations & Real Estate Partnerships), and Jeff Lennon ( Interim Assistant Vice-President, Planning and Budget), gave a comprehensive presentation on the Budget.
As part of her introductory remarks, the Provost noted that the Long Range Budget Guidelines planned for a balanced budget in each of the five years.It was reported that the total budgeted operating revenue for 2022-23 of $3.23 billion was an increase of $110 million over the previous year. The Budget reflected a freeze in domestic tuition fees, increased diversified international enrolment, and a continued shift in the balance of funding between tuition and provincial operating grants. Key budget priorities focused on students included redesign of mental health services and expanded counselling options, increased experiential learning and research experiences, the Climate Positive Campus plan, investments in undergraduate financial aid and graduate funding packages, innovations in embedding equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles into curriculum and program designs, increased investment in the Sexual Violence Prevention & Support Centre, and support for divisional priorities in light of the continued domestic fee freeze. Total spending for student aid was projected at $331 million for 2022-23, with divisions earmarking 6% of international tuition revenue for international scholarships for undergraduate students. It was also reported that the pension plan had a $792 million plan surplus (on July 1, 2021) for the transfer to the new University Pension Plan [the “UPP”], although the University was responsible for any potential future deficits for 10 years. A pension plan contingency reserve would be built up over the planning period to mitigate against this risk. With regards to deferred maintenance funding, those investments continued to increase, with a goal of reaching expenditures representing 1.5% of the replacement value of physical assets; which was considered best practice. Capital spending was projected at $4.6 billion over the next five years.
Professor Jan Mahrt-Smith, Chair of the Planning and Budget Committee, informed the Board that following the Budget presentation, Committee members had engaged with presenters on issues including ventilation in non-instructional spaces, enrolment disparities across campuses, declining OSAP participation rates resulting from recent changes to OSAP eligibility criteria, and increased pathways for non-traditional students into the University’s various programs (including students from varied socio-economical backgrounds).
Discussion
A member asked whether the increased summer enrolment experienced during COVID in the previous two years, was expected to continue and what the impacts would be should summer enrolment return to pre-pandemic levels. In reply, the Provost conveyed that while there had been a significant increase during COVID, summer enrolment numbers had been steadily increasing prior to the pandemic. She stated that with the increase in online offerings, it was expected that this would be a continuing source of flexibility for students, offering opportunities for international students or those working abroad over the summer months to continue their studies.
With respect to student demand from different countries, the Provost referenced the data provided during the Budget presentation and reiterated the significant investments and gains made in diversifying recruitment source regions. She added that this was carefully balanced with maintaining strong relationships with countries like China, who continued to be a strong source for high-calibre students. The Provost emphasized that admission offers were made on the basis of merit. She acknowledged that geopolitical issues leading to large declines in any region of the world would be challenging, as had been experienced by other leading universities. This risk had been identified in the Budget, and was one which the University was proactively engaged in mitigating.
Addressing a member’s comments regarding possible government scrutiny of pension plan reserves, Professor Mabury advised members of the annual reporting requirements to government, and shared his confidence in the University’s ability to defend reserves for potential pension plan liabilities related to going concern deficits.
A member raised concerns related to tuition revenues being dependent on a single source country and the higher tuition fees paid by international students. In response, Jeff Lennon reiterated the comments made with regards to focused efforts to mitigate this risk and diversify UoT’s global presence, and noted the increasing number of scholarship programs introduced to assist international students and scholars.
Referencing the Enrolment Report which noted that 77% of undergraduate students graduated within six years of starting their program, a member asked whether there was data on the graduation outcomes of the other 23% of students. In reply, the Provost indicated that this information was collected but not collated because the data was stored in different databases across campuses. She advised that the University was deeply engaged with this issue and that efforts were underway to aggregate the data to allow for more meaningful trend analysis.
The Chair then invited Evan Kanter to address the Board. Mr. Kanter spoke to the Same Degree Same Campaign led by six student union groups calling for lower tuition for students in Computer Science, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and Data Science programs. He encouraged the administration to further engage students in the budget consultation process.
The Chair then invited Omar Gharbiyeh to address the Council. Mr. Gharbiyeh spoke to the three main areas students prioritized for investment within the Budget:
1. Supports for survivors of gender sexual based violence;
2. Needs based financial support for international students; and
3. Increased hardware and IT support for students to access online accommodations.
The final speaker, Ali Syed, then addressed the Board at the Chair’s invitation. Mr. Syed referenced the report “Same Degree, Same Fee: Calling for Equitable Tuition for All Science Students” and summarized the rationale behind the proposition that the administration reduce tuition for Computer Science, Bioinformatics, and Data Science students so that it was equal to the tuition of other science students in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Mr. Syed asserted that the differential tuition created challenges for students in three areas:
1. Inequitable access: it was difficult for marginalized students to access the computer science program;
2. Fairness: it was unfair that students in these programs had to pay more for the same degree as their peers in other science programs; and
3. Student Wellness: the higher tuition was causing mental health challenges among students.
The Chair thanked Mr. Kanter, Mr. Syed, and Mr. Gharbiyeh for their remarks. He invited the Provost to comment.
The Provost thanked the students for their remarks. Highlights of her comments included:Student Budget Priorities
• priorities voiced by student groups reflected those identified in the Budget, and investments in those areas continued to increase;
• an extensive process of review of the Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy and support services was currently underway, with policy revisions planned to come forward to governance before the end of the academic year;Differential Tuition Fees
• consultations with students had included meetings with the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science (FAS);
• student recommendations and suggestions had been considered by the FAS budget group in their decision not to reduce tuition fees for Computer Science, Bioinformatics, and Data Science students;
• one of the many factors in setting tuition fees was the 1998 deregulation of fees;
• differential fees were a key component of the provincial tuition fee framework;
• proposed tuition was based on market research, including earning potential;
• tuition, government grants, and other revenues support the University as a whole and were largely distributed according to divisional needs and not directly related to the cost of any one area;
• while the degree earned is a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc.), employers do value the area of focus differentially, resulting in higher incomes for graduates of Computer Science, Bioinformatic, and Data Science programs;
• a large percentage of Computer Science students took advantage of the Professional Experience Year Program and earn a mean income of just over $56,000 for the year; this program is not available to all students in programs that lead to a BSc.;
• student financial aid programs were specifically focused on meeting the needs of students as they continued through their program;

Capital Project: Report of the Project Planning Committee for the Emerging and Pandemic Infections Centre (EPIC) Facility – Project Scope and Sources of Funding
Following introductory remarks from the Scott Mabury, the Board received a presentation of the EPIC project from Justin Nodwell, Vice-Dean, Research & Health Sciences Education at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. In the overview provided, members were advised that the new EPIC facility would address space constraints and distance between existing EPIC3 facilities (which had restricted the analyses that could be performed), replace aging units that had reached the end of their expected lifespan, and provide a vital locus of training.
There were no questions from members.
On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried

Capital Project: Report of the Project Planning Committee for the Harbord Residence, A New Graduate Residence on Harbord Street– Project Scope and Sources of Funding
Professor Mabury advised members that the Harbord Residence was the third Four Corners project that had gone through governance in recent years, providing much needed residence space for students, while also generating value for the institution to advance its strategic priorities.Joshua Mitchell, Managing Director, Real Estate, University Development and Campus Services, then provided highlights of Harbord Residence project which included:
• the lot was just over 16,000 square feet and accommodated a nine-storey building;
• the residence would offer 188 beds;
• 22% of all suites would be accessible by AODA standards;
• the structure would be physically connected to the existing Graduate Residence with both above and below grade pedestrian paths, creating a strong physical relationship between the buildings, which would share amenities and ‘back of house’ services; and,
• construction was expected to commence summer 2022, and be completed by summer 2024.As part of his concluding remarks, Professor Mabury noted that the previously named ‘nomad’ suites had been renamed to ‘scholars’ suites in response to feedback received by the Planning & Budget Committee.
Chair Jan Mahrt-Smith then commented on the discussion of the item at the meeting of the Planning and Budget Committee. He reported that members had been impressed with the design of the self-contained suites, and excited to hear that consideration of these types of units would be considered in future developments given their anticipated popularity. Members had also been advised that the Harbord Residence offered a better and more cost-effective housing option than those currently available to students off campus.
In response to a member’s question regarding whether the suites would be available to couples, or only to single students, or if only both were students, Professor Mabury noted that there were 800 units in the Student Family Housing residence , which tended to be the primary destination for family units.On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried
YOUR BOARD RECOMMENDED

-
Capital Project: Report of the Project Planning Committee for the Galbraith Structural Testing Facility – Project Scope and Sources of Funding
Professor Scott Mabury introduced the Galbraith Structural Testing Facility, noting that similar to the EPIC Facility, the project sought to upgrade aging research facilities. He commented that the project was driven by the researchers themselves, both in terms of imagining the need for the project, and also in raising the vast majority of funding for it.
Constantin Christopoulos, Professor, Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering, continued the presentation noting that the facility would house the world’s first multi-dimensional loading system which would allow for better simulations of extreme loading on structures (e.g. earthquakes, hurricanes). He then provided an overview of the main research space, describing the suspended classrooms overlooking the lab, and the ability for multiple projects to be built simultaneously.There were no questions from members.
On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried
YOUR BOARD RESOLVEDTHAT subject to confirmation by the Executive Committee,
THAT the project scope of the Galbraith Structural Testing Facility, as identified in the Report of the Project Planning Committee for the Galbraith Structural Testing Facility, dated January 21, 2022, be approved in principle; and,

New Graduate Program Proposal: Master of Science (MSc.), Environmental Science (UTSC)
The Chair reminded members that under the Academic Board’s Terms of Reference, the Board was responsible for approving proposals for the establishment and closure of graduate programs and degrees, subject to confirmation by the Executive Committee of Governing Council. The proposal for the Master of Science (MSc) in Environmental Science at the University of Toronto Scarborough, had been considered at the February 17, 2022 meeting of the Committee on Academic Policy and Programs (AP&P) and was brought forward to Academic Board for approval.
Professor Susan McCahan Professor, Vice-Provost, Academic Programs and Innovations in Undergraduate Education, introduced Mary Silcox, Vice-Dean, Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (UTSC), to present an overview of the proposal. William Gough, Vice-Principal Academic and Dean, UTSC, and Professor George Arhonditsis, Chair, Graduate Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, UTSC, were in attendance to answer questions.
Professor Silcox reported that the program would be a 16 month program, beginning in May. She added that the development of this program emphasized immersion in the research process as a differentiating factor from other Environmental Science offerings at the University. Professor Silcox reported that the program would be a funded program for 12 months and that there would be teaching assistant and possibly research assistant opportunities for students to assist with funding.
Professor Ernest Lam, Chair of AP&P, reported on the Committee’s consideration of the new program. He stated that a positive Committee discussion had focused generally on the different pathways of students entering the PhD program in Environmental Science, and how development and consultation of this program had emphasized science research as a differentiating factor from other Environmental Science offerings at the University.
In response to a member’s questions regarding factors distinguishing the program from other Environmental Science offerings, Professor Silcox reiterated the research intensive focus, pointing to the 16 month duration and timing of the program, which were intentionally designed to maximize the number of field seasons and reduce the coursework.
Professor Arhonditsis, echoed Professor Silcox’s comments, adding that the existing professional masters program was heavily based on coursework and drew more broadly from different areas of environmental science, providing a more general training typically that lead to entry level positions for graduates.
Professors Arhonditsis and Silcox indicated that the program would not jeopardize the attractiveness of other, existing, programs because the opportunity for specialized training offered by the proposed program, coupled with the rigorous entrance requirements (most notably substantial undergraduate research experience), would draw a different pool of students.
On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried
YOUR BOARD APPROVEDTHAT, subject to confirmation by the Executive Committee
THAT the proposed degree program, Master of Science (MSc) in Environmental Science as described in the proposal from the University of Toronto Scarborough dated January 26, 2022, be approved effective May 1, 2023.
