Above (left to right) are members of the 1994-95 Executive: Michelle McGowan, Dan Robinson, Ingrid Thompson, Paul Backman, Jennifer Reszitnyk (President), Dave Maijala and Kris Heale. Changes to the Registration process reflect a Student-Centr~d Approach While lineups have not been eliminated, the whole process of registration should have been easier for the most important people involved: the students. Changes made include increasing the number of staff in Finance to help OSAP students, registering 4th year before 3rd year before 2nd year, better infonnation, better orientation coordination, printing course restrictions and prerequisites on the timetable and printing personal timetables for students. INSIDE Two new Deans appointed •· Dr. David Euler, Dean of the Faculty of Forestry, and Dr. Bahram Dadgostar, Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration Story on Page 9 Changes were implemented through a re-engineering team made up of staff from eight different University departments. "All of the changes they made were ones that could be done with existing computer technology," says Don Watson, Director of Re-engineering. Eventually Lakehead's software will have to be replaced, but in the meantime significant improvements are being made -- not the least of which is the focus on student needs brought about by reengineering. The levers that have pennitted these improvements include policy changes, procedural changes, software modifications and $5,000 from the VicePresident Academic says Watson. But in the end, it will be the students who will say whether or not the team has been successful. After seven c~nsecutive years of record enrolment peaking at 6,045 full-time students and 1,806 parttime students on November 1,1994, Lakehead University is projecting a decrease of approximately 3 percent in full-time enrolment for 1995-96. The decline is primarily due to a decline in the size of the applicant pool (2,584 applicants) and perhaps the increase in tuition fees in the current year. A number of the University's programs including Social Work, Business, Education, Outdoor Recreation, and Kinesiology are at capacity. The University is continuing to accept and process applications to a number of programs including Arts, Science, Nursing, and Engineering until September 20.

FURTHER GOVERNMENT RESTRAINT It is no seaet that the Ontario Government plans to announce, this fall, significant reductions in the transfer payments to universities (colleges, etc.). While it is too early to predict accurately the levels, it appears as if they will be significant (of the order of 15 percent) and swift. Toe potential exists that all the funding will be pulled in the 1996-97 year (still some possibility of a two-year phased approach). I need not tell you that this will be tough. by Dr. Robert Rosehsrt President Lskehead University ENROLMENT '95 Students are still registering and, so far, it looks as if our enrolment will be close to our projection - down somewhat in first year from last year's record high - but overall, close to last year's level of 6,000 students. Toe major factor in reduced Year 1 intake seems to be the result of two of the larger southern Ontario universities increasing their first-year intake by over 2.000 students in a high school student population that is close to constant Some no-shows in upper-year are potentially due to the improved job market on the one hand as well as consumer resistance to the recent tuition fee increase of 10 percent. SUMMER GOVERNMENT FUNDING REDUCTION In mid-summer, the Ontario Government reduced our in-year funding by 1 percent. In total, we had to reduce our 1995-96 (current year) budget by $493,000 and thanks to the co-operation and mostly voluntary initiatives of the budget managers, this was accomplished. 2 Our options are being explored and will be available for consultation later this fall as the 1996-97 budget guidelines are being prepared. It is clear that, in whatever options or series of options we choose, we must maintain our maximum student enrolment. A further anticipated government action is the partial deregulation of tuition fees. Titis is a complex issue and it will be interesting to see if, in fact, the government actually follows through in substantive form. Current governments exert a fair amount of control over the politically sensitive tuition fees and this would be all or partially lost with deregulation. As well, any major unregulated increases could have a dramatic impact on the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). I anticipate that for 1996-97, fee increases will be modest which will place even more budget pressure on the universities. More Ontario Scholarsat LU Our percentage of Ontario Scholars in the first-year class further increased last year to 24.3 percent. Toe range of the 17 Ontario institutions is 77.8 percent (Queen's) to 13.7 percent (Laurentian). Kit Minor LeavesLakebead University Kit Minor has left her position in Social Work to become a community social worker in the Northwest Territories. Kit has had a long-term interest in the far north and will have a major responsibility in her community. Kit intends to keep involved with Lakehead University through research initiatives and will return as a Visiting Professor in the future. Special Recognition to OGS Selected BoardMembers Each year, the Ontario Graduate Studies Selection Board process works because of the volunteer efforts of faculty at the Ontario universities. Lakehead University is particularly fortunate to have a good representation on the OGS panels. On behalf of Lakehead University and the OGS process, I would like to recognize and thank the following for their efforts: Humanities Division RE-ENGINEERING PROGRESS Work continues on the assessment of a new integrated software package that would see an integrated student records/ financial management data base. Titis technology, which is client-server based, would offer greatly enhanced academic and financial information exchange among and between various University users. It is hoped that a decision to proceed can be made by December and, if the decision is a go, implementation will commence as early as May of 1996. Toe successful implementation of this system over 18 months would bring to a conclusion the work of the Re-Engineering Group in its present form.

We must all work together to promote safety and awareness. SHARE OuR NoRTliERN VISION UPDATE As of August, 1995, the Campaign is at 98.3 percent of total objective. ■ Originally from Wmnipeg, Callaghan has lived all across Canada. from Saskatchewan to New Brunswick. although the north shore bas been her home most recently. While living in Terrace Bay she successfully ran the Red Dog Inn, before bringing her hospitality expertise to Thunder Bay' s Venture Inn. Callaghan came to Thunder Bay to focus on her family life. She has two daughters; Frio, who attends PACI. and Kimberleigh. an LU grad in English. Pat's involvement with Kimberleigh as she pursued her education has given her an understanding of the challenges many students face in today's world, and it's that understanding which she brings toLUSU. She enjoys being part of the University community, and is looking forward to the intellectual stimulation Lakehead provides. -- Shawn Vincent ■ During the summer, Dr. Bruce Bradley, archaeologist and world renowned flintknapper, demonstrated bow tools such as spear points, knives and scrapers can be made by chipping stone. Using local "taconite" chert, Bradley perfectly replicated a type of artifact made by Paleo-Indian artisans in the Thunder Bay area some 9000 years ago. He also fielded questions from a group of about 45 fascinated spectators. Modest travel support for Bradley's voluntary appearance at Lakehead beside the McIntyre River was provided by Lakehead University and the Thunder Bay Chapter of the Ontario Archaeological Society. ■ ...

The goal of the competition was for contestants to create a water-powered device that could lift a 1.5-kilogram weight to a 3-metre vertical height. The winning scheme, designed by firstyear engineering students Alan Ripley and Rob Maki and presented by Brad Bida. did the job in 15 seconds flat. beating out tbe team from Cal Tech by a margin of a half a second. There were 10 otber teams competing - and Lakehead's was tbe only team from Canada. For Dr. Martin Oosterveld, tbe contest was a way to teach first-year engineering students about hydro power. He gave WHo Do You CALL? tbe problem as an assignment in his firstyear Introduction to Engineering class and was not swprised by tbe creativity of his students. Oosterveld likes hydro power projects because tbe skills required cover all engineering disciplines - civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical. And, he says, "Since many of my students are members of FlfSt Nations communities situated near rivers in Canada. they have a special appreciation and interest in the engineering problems of small hydro power installations." The competition which was organized by Hydro Review Magazine, the Tennessee Valley Authority's F.ngineering Laboratory and sponsored by 35 organizations including CANMET (Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Tecbnology)/Natural Resources Canada. Due to tbe secondment of Katherine Shedden to tbe Office of the Registrar, tbere has been a reorganization of duties in the Information Office. Frances Harding, as Publications Officer, is responsible for the Agora newsletter and the Nor'Wester Magazine and should be contacted for all story ideas or submissions.

Agora, September 1995 �THE REGISTRATION PROCESS ( CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Over the summer the University held its second annual "Headstart Program" which attracted over 200 new students in addition to 70 parents and provided the opportunity for new students to learn about the University as well as to register early for the 1995-96 academic year. Early registration was also once again available to returning students and in excess of 1,900 returning students registered early for the 1995-96 academic year. Meanwhile late registration continues to Wednesday, September 20. ■ PARENTS PROGRAM GotNG STRONG If you have never been to university, what sort of changes can you expect to see in your son and daughter as they go through first-year? And how can you help? Those are the main questions addressed by the Parents Program, and for the last three years more and more parents are coming on campus to find out the answers. WRITING ABOUT RESEARCH S.P .A.R.K. -- Lakehead will continue this year thanks to the generosity of Thunder Bay's local newspaper. Colin J. Bruce, the publisher and general manager of The Chronicle Journal/The Times News (a division of Thomson Newspapers Company Limited), has confmned that his organization will sponsor the program by giving Lakehead University a cash donation of $1500. In addition, the company will give the University an inkind donation of advertising. The S.P.A.R.K. (Students Producing Articles on Research Knowledge) program is designed to help students develop journalism skills; to help Lakehead University promote its research; and to help raise public awareness about the importance of research and its benefits to society at large. Students interested in applying are asked to contact Frances Harding at 343-8193. In August and September, an orientation was held by Student Services giving approximately 290 parents the opportunity to meet key University personnel and ask questions about academic and student life. A Parents Handbook with information on academic assistance, financial aid, awards, housing, student services, health care, sports, and recreation is available. Parents receive a bi-annual newsletter discussing issues and providing information about student life. The Parents Buy A Book Campaign gives parents the opportunity to contribute to the Library.

The program -- Microcosm -- is a Windows-based application that has been designed to meet the needs of scholars acroM a wide spectrum of disciplines. Dr. Frank: Colson. a historian at the University of Southampton, England, believes Microcosm is a powerful tool for research and teaching that has the potential to democratize scholarship. He and bis partner and colleague Jean Colson demonstrated the new technology to a group of Lakebead librarians, staff and faculty on July 19 - a month before malcing a similar presentation at the International Congress of Historical Sciences in Montreal. When asked about the potential impact of this new technology on the world of ideas, Colson likened it to the Gutenberg press saying Microcosm has the potential to revolutionize the world of academe. The software was developed in the early 1980s to support a resource-based approach to learning by allowing individual authors to quickly pull together a multi-media teaching package using their pre-existing document, video, sound, graphics and animation files. According to PC Magazine (May 1995), Microcosm comes into its own when the reader's task is to actively explore an information resource: "In a Microcosm application you could easily be constrained to follow a prescribed path through the resource material. But Microcosm's big strength is that you can also be allowed more open exploration of the resource material. Used in this way, an author's hypertext links provide a "map" of the available resources that can be explored by readers under their own steam. To enhance exploration, a Microcosm application allows readers to set up their own hypertext links and effectively construct their own knowledge base within the supplied material." "It's precisely the kind of analytical and learning tool we yearn for," says Lakehead University anthropology professor Dr. Scott Hamilton. He likes the way the Wmdows-based application allows the user to preserve the integrity or "authority" of a text, to provide context, and to encourage re-interpretation, discussion, and debate. There have been 54 projects using the new software undertaken in Britain including Frank: Colson's own document - an analysis of Sir Winston Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech incorporating audio sound, video images (from original film footage), and scanned images of original handwritten documents that show all of the author's marginal notes. Colson believes the new software has enormous potential to enrich university and college courses either as a library resource or as a teaching and learning aid in a seminar setting. Unlike the freewheeling chatter on the Internet, be says, Microcosm documents are peer reviewed and so are considered to be of the same calibre as academic publications. Frank: Colson is the Director of the Digital Libraries Research Centre with The Historical Document Expert System (HIDES PROJECT) at the University of Southampton. The HiDES Project bas received support from the Caloutse Gulbenkian Foundation, the Leverhulme Trust, the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society, IBM UK Trust, Hampshire Country Council and The University of Southampton. For more information contact the Office of Graduate Studies and Research at 343-8793.■ SSHRC INTERNATIONALSUMMER INSTITUTE: AN INTENSELY PRODUCTIVE RESEARCH RETREAT More than 45 researchers from around the world gathered at Lakehead University in August to focus on Social Science Perspectives on Health Service Delivery Issues in Rural and Remote Areas. The International Summer Institute, described by Coordinator Jean F.ngholm as a "research retreat," was the only one of its kind funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada this year. University ofSouthampton historian Frank Colson demonstrates anew mufti-media, interactive computer program designed to meet the needs ofscholars across a wide spectrum ofdisciplines. 6 Lakehead University was well represented having members on three out of the five research teams participating. Shown above are Dr. Paul Humphries, Director of the Northwestern Ontario Medical Programme (NOMP); Dr. Lynn Penrod, President of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council ofCanada (SSHRC); Dr. Bruce Minore, Director of the Northern Health Human Resources Research Unit (NHHRRU) and Dr. Connie Nelson, Dean ofGraduate Studies and Research. ■ Agora, September 1995 �STATISTICAL WORATORY PROVIDES A NEW SERVICE TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND THE Dr. John Griffith Dr. Keith Roy Dr. Maurice Benson DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL Sc!ENCES BECOMES. SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICAL SclENCES Four Schools and four Faculties. Now that the Department of Mathematical Sciences has become the School of Mathematical Science, the University's academic structure just got a little easier to remember. The change, effective July I, 1995, means the School of Mathematical Sciences is comprised of two departments: the Department of Computer Science chaired by Dr. Maurice Benson and the Department of Mathematics & Statistics chaired by Dr. Keith Roy. Director Dr. John Griffith says the change was made in recognition of Computer Science as an independent discipline, with its own NSERC Committee and its own accreditation procedures. Roy, the Chair of Mathematics & Statistics, has taken over the additional role of Graduate Officer, while Benson, Chair of Computer Science, also acts as the Co-op Adviser. "Students will now find Computer Science courses listed under Computer Science," says Griffith, "and not embedded in the list of Mathematics courses. As well, they will benefit from advice from knowledgeable Chairs in each of the two disciplines -Computer Science and Mathematics & Statistics." Having the School divided into two departments, he says, will give greater publicity to each area and will give Lakehead University representation on two national organizations -- the Canadian Mathematics Chairs and the Canadian Computer Science Chairs. In addition, Lakehead's Co-op partners will have the opportunity to interact with a Chair who is an expert in that particular area. Like the other independent schools (Kinesiology, Nursing, Outdoor Recreation, Parks & Tourism) the School of Mathematical Sciences reports to Dr. Jim Gellert, the Dean of Arts & Science. The four faculties (Business Administration, Forestry, Engineering, and Education) report to Dr. John Whitfield, the Vice-President, (Academic). ■ Lakehead University will host the Canadian Mathematical Educational Study Group in May, 1997. Agora, September1 995 Pueuc Whether you are analyzing the eating habits of dragonfly larvae or measuring the ways that integrated circuits are stressed with voltage, the folks over in the School of Mathematical Sciences' Statistical Laboratory can help. Since January, Karla Nobrega has been meeting with faculty and students to help them choose the best methods for their particular research project She begins by asking ''What questions do you want answered?" Then, because her knowledge of statistics is so broad, she can help her "clients" choose which statistical tests or procedures are appropriate. After that, she might even give advice on designing the survey or choosing an appropriate population for testing. Karla Nobrega Nobrega is currently a graduate student in the School of Mathematical Sciences specializing in Statistics. In the process of carrying out her responsibilities with Lakehead's Statistical Laboratory, she is actually completing a course in consulting. According to her supervisor, Dr. Keith Roy, Nobrega is exceptionally qualified for this task: "At other schools graduate students usually work in pairs on one or maybe two projects per year. Karla has worked on over twenty in the past seven months." Nobrega has done graduate work in Mathematics at both Queen's University and the University of AJberta. She likes the environment of a smaller university and says, "With no PhD program the pecking order is different and the supervisors have lots of time to spend with the Master's students." If a particular research problem is complex, Nobrega will review the problem with her supervisor and with Dr. Julie Zhou (who shared an office with Nobrega when they were both graduate students at the University of Alberta). The Statistical Laboratory's goal in 1995-96 is to become more widely known - particularly among Lakehead researchers who may wish to factor in the cost of its services into their fall grant applications. In addition to providing statistical consulting and statistical services (including presentation of results in graphical or tabular form), they will also provide short courses and seminars on various areas of statistics and statistical computing. The Statistical Laboratory is located on the 3rd floor of the Ryan Building in Room 3008.

They met for the first time this summer when an Ottawa-based student Jos6 Ignacio Garc(a Barcia began a two-year trip to Antarctica by bicycling around the north shore of Lake Superior. The other two are Lakehead's Emil Dolphin, Associate Professor of Spanish and French, and Jos6 de Cangas, Associate Professor of Nursing. Asturias is one of the most beautiful and most historic regions in northern Spain, the only part of the country that was never conquered by the Moors," says Dolphin. There are about 40 people living around the world who love the region and keep in touch with one another via e-mail. Ignacio Garcfa (or "Nacho" as he likes to be called) is planning to meet up with another "Asturian" when he gets to the United States - an anthropology professor living in Chicago. Dolphin has noted that some of his students are reluctant to travel even when they have the financial means. Yet tasting and touching another culture is vitally important, especially for language students. The Internet, he says, has made it easier for people to establish common ground and to begin to develop new friendships. ■ 8 GEOLOGY BtOLOGY Lakehead University was represented at the July meeting of the International Union of Geophysicists and Geodesists, attended by more than 4000 geophysicists at Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Borradaile, a professor in the Department of Geology, gave the keynote address in the session on Applications of Magnetic Anisotropy. Did you know that a small, white worm about the length of your thumb can bring a half ton moose to its knees? This subject deals with the manner in which the magnetic properties of rocks vary in different directions through minerals, and through rocks comprising these minerals. This field of study permits us to understand subtle variations in the orientation of crystal structure that are invisible to other techniques. Olsson is a veterinarian who has received funding from the Sweden-America Foundation and the Royal Academy of Forestry Science to spend six months at Lakehead University comparing notes with Biology professor Dr. Murray Lankester. Borradaile has contributed to the study of magnetic properties of rocks in the last decade, publishing at least five peerreviewed papers in International Journals each year. His research has concentrated on fundamental techniques that have contributed to many fields such as monitoring· stress patterns in the Earth's crust (e.g. precursors of Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions), ancient movement patterns in the Canadian Shield, the location of ore deposits, tracing environmental pollution, detecting geologically recent climate change and historical changes in land-use. A recent innovation of this work has permitted Borradaile to detect the recycling of ancient Roman building materials by the subsequent Saxon, Norman and medieval cultures in England. At the same conference, Borradaile gave an invited talk on the effects of stress on remanent magnetism after which he was invited to give next year's keynote address on rock magnetism and experimental deformation at the European Geophysical Society meeting in the Netherlands. The parasite is called Elaphostrongylus alces -- and it is responsible for bringing Dr. Ing-Marie Olsson from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala to further her research. Lankester has been studying a "cousin" of the Swedish parasite (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) which in Canada affects white tail deer as well as moose. "Although there was an outbreak in Sweden that killed 300 moose in 1985, the parasite is not considered to be a huge threat," says Olsson. "However, in Sweden there are over 300,000 moose," she says "and each year between 80 - 90,000 moose are hunted." This is about the same number as are killed by hunters on an annual basis in all of North America! While in Canada, Olsson attended the North American moose conference in New Brunswick and has visited the Falling Snow Project north of Thunder Bay. Olsson will be at Lakehead University until October 27, I 995. ■ Borradaile's research is supported by a five-year grant of $60,000 per year from NSERC and he received his sixth equipment grant from NSERC this year also. Within the coming year several international visitors are expected to benefit from the unique rock-physics laboratory facilities that Borradaile has established at Lakehead University. ■ Dr. Ing-Marie Olsson Agora, September 1995 �Ms Andrea G.

Akervall, School of Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Tourism ♦ DAVID EULER to the rank of Associate Professor: Dr. F. Blaikie, Education APPOINTED DEAN OF FORESTRY Dr. K. Brownlee, Social Work Dr. David Euler has moved from being a Senior Policy Advisor with the Ministry of Natural Resources in Sault Ste. Marie to being the Dean of Lakehead's Faculty of Forestry. He has been appointed for a fiveyear term commencing July 1, 1995, and replaces Dr. John Naysmith who has held the position of Director and then Dean since Dr. L. Di Matteo, Economics 1988. Euler grew up in Michigan but completed all of his academic studies in the state of New York including a Master of Arts in Teaching (1970) and a PhD in Wildlife Ecology ( 1973) at Cornell University. After graduating, he began working with the Ministry of Natural Resources in Canada as a Habitat Ecologist and by 1991 he had moved into the position of Senior Policy Advisor. During a portion ofthat time --from 1979 to 1984 -- he served as an adjunct assistant professor with the University of Toronto and York University. While working with the MNR, Euler helped to write portions of the Crown Forest Sustainability Act and to develop a Policy Framework for Sustainable Forests, A Conservation Strategy for Old Growth Red and White Pine Forest Ecosystems. He is very encouraged by the new legislation because "it takes the long- term view in terms of maintaining forest sustainability" and "will involve people as never before." "Forests are critical to the process of the earth's environment," says Euler, "and managing them successfully is Canada's greatest challenge...Lakehead University is at the heart of this vast, wild boreal forest; all of the issues are right here, on our doorstep...Our responsibility is to produce forestry graduates who are both technically competent and excellent communicators able to work with different groups to arrive at common goals." ■ Agora, September1995 Professor E.

The participation for the study is by invitation only and is restricted to 75 participants around the globe. ■ BAHRAM DADGOSTAR APPOINTED DEAN OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION An economist who is an authority on Northwestern Ontario has taken the helm as Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration. Dr. Bahram Dadgostar has been appointed forafive-yeartermcommencingJuly 1, 1995. He replaces Professor Ken Hartviksen who is on a six-month sabbatical with plans to return January 1, 1996. One of Dadgostar's goals in the next five years will be to help Lakehead University establish a graduate program in Business Administration. As well, he hopes to strengthen the international aspects of the undergraduate program and the management information systems (MIS) area. All this, he says, "In a time of cutbacks where everyone is being asked to do more with less." "Lakehead University already has many international contacts and linkages because of its proximity to international resource industries (mining and forestry)," says Dadgostar. "And because of its location and unique environment, Lakehead has many similarities with -- and consequently much to offer •• countries such as Sweden and Russia." Originally from Iran. Dadgostar has a PhD in Economics from Iowa State University as well as a MSc in Economics from Ball State University in Indiana and a MSc in Finance from Concordia University in Montreal. He co-authored the book, The Economy of Northwestern Ontario: Structure, Performance and Future Challenges with Dr. B. Moazzami and Dr. W. Jankowski from Lakehead's Department of Economics and has been the author of several journal articles. Since coming to Lakehead in 1983, Dadgostar has travelled extensively, both nationally and internationally, working as a visiting professor and a consultant. ■ 9 �FORUM DRAFT Lakehead University Anti-Racism and Ethnocultural Equity Policy JUNE PREAMBLE Lakehead University's commitment to social justice is reflected in the following goal from its Strategic Plan 1992-1998 which acknowledges the importance of institutional awareness and responsiveness. The University undertakes to develop and support a responsive and open environment which values individual uniqueness, respects diversity, is culturally sensitive, is free from discrimination and is conducive to scholarly activities. To this end. the President founded the Lakehead University Anti-Racism Committee (LUARC), with representation by students, faculty, and staff. Campus consultations confumed the racial and ethnocultural diversity of the University community including students, faculty and staff. Campus members reported encountering racist incidents and barriers to full participation in education and employment on the basis of race and ethnicity. For many, discrimination on the basis of religion is closely related to race and ethnicity. Racist behaviourdenigrates its victim, brings dishonour to the perpetrator, disrupts the academic community as a whole, and diminishes the stature of the University. The University's Harassment and Discrimination Policy and Procedures provides every person with the right to freedom from discrimination and harassment on all the grounds covered by the Ontario Human Rights Code, including race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin and creed. It also provides a process to deal with complaints. 10 14, 1995 Changing student and faculty demographics in the University population, particularly with Aboriginal people, have made apparent the limitations of traditional educational perspectives such as a curriculum that focuses primarily on the experiences and achievements of people of European background. The University recogniz.es that achieving equity in education and employment requires institutional support, pro-active educational programming, effective complaints procedures, the co-operation of every member of the University community, and informed leadership at every level of the University. With the view that the University needs to be open to and understanding of ethnocultural and racial diversity and needs to create a learning and working environment free of racism, this Policy has been developed. Each member of the Lakehead University community is responsible for respecting others' rights and freedoms and for helping to create an environment that is free from racial and ethnocultural discrimination and harassment. Poucv STATEMENT This Policy applies both on and off campus to all members of the University community in the pursuit of University duties, or while engaged in University related activities. Lakehead University supports the racial and ethnocultural diversity of its community as a source of human excellence, cultural enrichment and social strength. This policy promotes a pro-active approach that emphasiz.es education and prevention. DEFINITIONS The University acknowledges that it has a special responsibility to promote positive attitudes toward human diversity; to ensure that its practices foster excellence and respect among students, faculty, staff, and governing bodies; and to create an environment that allows all students and employees to develop to their full potential. Affirming the values enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, The Canadian Human Rights Act and the Ontario Human Rights Code, the University recogniz.es its moral and legal responsibility to ensure that all members of the community can study, work, and live free from discrimination and harassment on grounds prohibited by law. The University is committed to providing an environment in which all members of the community have access to and participate freely in all aspects of University life. FoR THE PuRPOSE OF THIS Poucv: Access is the right or opportunity to enter or use. Anti-racism refers to opinions and actions which contribute to the elimination of racism in all its forms, as expressed in policies, ~ures and practices of the University and in the behaviour of individual members of the University community. Anti-racism education includes programs to identify and change policies, procedures, and practices that may be racist, as well as the racist attitudes and behaviour that underlie and reinforce such policies and practices. Barrier(s) are hidden, invisible and/or visible obstacles to equity in education, employment or other services. Blas is a preference or inclination that inhibits impartial judgment; prejudice. Agora, September 1995 �Culture is the totality of ideas, beliefs, values, activities, traditions and way of life of a group of people. tive race and ethnocultural relations and prepare students to live in a racially and culturally diverse society. Discrimination is action that has the effect, intentionally or unintentionally, of denying an individual or group treatment or opportunities equal to those accorded others in the areas of education, employment and other services. The leadership will participate in anti-racist training and implement this policy. Systemic discrimination is when intentionally or unintentionally discrimination becomes institutionalized in policies and practices which disadvantage certain racial or ethnocultural groups. • Diversity refers to variety in terms of race, religion, culture and ethnicity. Equity isjust, impartial and fair treatmentfor each person. Equity program is a program that eliminates discriminatory policies and practices, remedies the effects of past discrimination and ensures equity within the University. Ethnic group is a group whose members share a common heritage, culture, racial background and traditions. Ethnocentrism is the tendency to judge all others by the norms and standards of one's own culture. Ethnocultural group is a human population which sees itself or is seen by others as distinctive in its way of life. Harassment includes words or actions that disparage or humiliate a person in relation to a prohibited ground contained in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Inclusiveness ensures the inclusion of all groups. Race is a social category used to classify people by certain physical characteristics. Racism refers to actions based on a belief in the inherent superiority of one racial or ethnocultural group over another. GUIDELINES: Leadership The Board of Governors, Senate, President and other persons in leadership positions will ensure that policies, programs and practices eliminate discrimination, promote posi- Agora, September1995 University Policies and Practices Existing policies, guidelines and practices will be reviewed and where necessary amended to reflect this policy. Persons in leadership positions will ensure that guidelines and practices in their area of responsibility comply with this policy. F.ducationalEquity The University will continually strive to provide an environment for its students that is free from cultural, racial and religious bias and/or discrimination in recruitment, admission policy and practices, educational programs, and evaluative policies and practices. Promotional materials will portray and acknowledge the diversity of Canadian society in an equitable and appropriate manner. Curricula and teaching methodologies should reflect the experiences and contributions of the diverse cultural, racial, and religious groups. Faculty will be offered developmental workshops to increase awareness of cultural and racial issues and appropriate actions for dealing with such issues. Teaching materials that contain discriminatory bias and stereotypes should be used exclusively in a critical context in order that students become open-minded. discerning and analytical thinkers, aware of historical and current values, attitudes and behaviours. Support services will respect the diversity among the student body, be culturally sensitive and free from bias and discrimination. Employment In accordance with the Ontario Employment F.quity Act, the University faculty and staff will be recruited, hired, evaluated, promoted and rewarded in a fair and equitable manner. F.ducationalProgramandAwaren~Rai.,ing The University will provide faculty and staff with development activities and programs which will enable them to deal more effectively with race relations issues in their work. These activities and programs will increase the awareness of the need for equitable race relations and intercultural understanding; promote a widespread understanding about what constitutes racism, harassment and discrimination and its harmful effects; and improve knowledge and skills to work effectively in a multicultural, multiracial environment A comprehensive educational strategy may include developing a plan for training in intercultural and race relations issues; developing component(s) for orientation on intercultural/interracial issues for all members of the University community; educational, cross cultural workshops; campaigns such as international days; posting this policy prominently on campus; distributing the policy to all staff and students; workshops about the policy; and other appropriate awareness raising activities. Special Programs A person's right to equal treatment without discrimination is not infringed by the establishment of a special program. The University may implement special programs to assist persons of diversity to achieve or attempt to achieve equal opportunity and/ or to contribute to the elimination of racial discrimination prohibited by the Ontario Human Rights Code. ComplalntProcedure Individuals who believe they have been subjected to racial discrimination and/or harassment shall receive due process under the Board of Governors' Harassment and Discrimination Policy. The complaints procedures provided under the Harassment and Discrimination Policy (See Appendix A) shall be the procedures followed by individuals seeking resolution of racial discrimination/harassment complaints. Confidentiality shall be respected as in that Policy. When the complaint is deemed to be of an academic nature, the Harassment and Discrimination Officer will appoint a facilitator to seek an informal resolution. In the event that a satisfactory resolution to the matter is not achieved. the complainant may request a formal investigation as provided under the Harassment and Discrimination Policy. ...continued on page 12 11 �Mlffi;ll•i•i;•~t•1;••=1A;l~MMt•1~-1-----------------------DRAFT - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY ANTI-RACISM AND ETHNOCULTURAL EQUITY POLICY ... continued from pagB 11 Collective Agreements & Academic Freedom Some collective agreements contain articles on discrimination and academic freedom. In the context of interpreting this Policy, these articles should be referenced. Visitors to the University Persons visiting the University or contractors engaged by the University will be expected to adhere to this Policy. Implemeolatioo The President will ensure that appropriate procedures for Policy implementation are developed as soon as possible following Policy approval by the governing bodies. Such procedures will address, but are not limited to the following: • Increase awareness and understanding of race relations issues on campus; • Development and training in race relations matters; • Curricula review; • Employment Equity legislation; • Review of other policies, guidelines and practices. Review The Vice-President (Administration) in consultation with faculty, staff and students will review this policy within three years to ascertain if any amendments are necessary. OFIA CONTRIBUTES $200,000 TO FACULTY OF FORESTRY'S CHAIR IN FOREST MANAGEMENT AND Poucv Lakehead's Chair in Forest Management and Policy got a boost this summer thanks to the generosity of the Ontario Forest Industries Association (OFIA). Earlier this year the Board of Directors of the OFIA voted unanimously in favour of contributing $200,000 to Lakehead University's Chair in Forest Management and Policy over a five-year period. The presentation was made on campus on August 18, 1995, when Lome Crawford, the Manager of Woodlands at Avenor Inc., presented a cheque on behalf of Marie Rauter, President of OFIA, to the President of Lakehead University, Dr. Bob Rosehart. Toe donation by the OFIA ensures that the Chair will be able to continue its research efforts on a wide range of important forest management and policy issues. The Chair was established in 1987 with a $1 million grant from the Government of Ontario. It became active in September, 1988, with the appointment of Dr. Peter Duinker as Chairholder and Associate Professor of Forest Management and Policy. Toe Chair has played a vital role in the development of forest policy in Ontario and serves as a unique, independent forum where forest management and policy alternatives can be developed and examined rigorously. With a mandate to cover both the management and policy levels of forest decision-making, the Chair brings an independent and practical management perspective to policy development, and provides a strong policy context for the investigation of management problems. Over the past seven years, the Chair has completed a wide range of research projects, including studies on wildlife habitat, forest-sustainability indicators, community forestry, environmental assessment, herbicide use, conflict resolution, public participation, Aboriginal forestry education, and others. Chair research personnel and graduate students have authored and presented dozens of papers and reports on their work. In addition to the grant from OFIA, the Chair's current research funding includes a large contract to undertake wildlife habitat and biodiversity assessments for a forest-products company in Alberta. Duinker is also a member of the newly funded Network of Centres of Excellence on Sustainable Forest Management, which will provide additional research resources for several years. ■ ■ PuBuc FORUM You are invited to attend a public forum to discuss this draft of Lakehead University's Anti-Racism and Ethnocultural Equity Policy.

The exceptional service which the Emergency Frrst Response Team (EFRT) provides to the University community was recognized during the 1995 Canadian Occupational Health & Safety Week (COHSW). On June 15th, the team was awarded the "Community Health & Safety Award" - a safety recognition award sponsored by the Canadian Society of Safety Engineers in celebration of COHSW. The award is given "to honour a particular volunteer group or organization that has made a contribution to health and safety in a workplace or in the community at large." The EFRT is a group of student volunteers who provide emergency frrst response services on campus during the fall and winter sessions. Lakehead's team is one of only two university teams in the country to provide 24 hour per day, 7 day a week service during its operating season. Their service complements the efforts of Lakehead's Security Services, Health Services and our 124 designated frrst aiders. The award caps a prize-winning season for the Team. In March, Lakehead's EFRT placed first in the advanced first aid competition at the Provincial Emergency Response Conference at McMaster University. Congratulations!

Preventing Employee Exposure to Bloodborne and Other Pathogens: a video from the University of Minnesota INJURIES: Gooo News AND BAD While the news concerning reductions in injuries continues to be good, we cannot diminish the fact that University employees are continuing to be injured on the job. To date, this year, twentynine employees have been hurt at work. The statistics point to the continued need to re-evaluate our notions about health and safety. It's time to throw away the "safety as just common sense" model, and accept that safety doesn't just happen. Health and safety results when all employee groups are committed to achieving a safe and healthy workplace; when they meet regularly to identify, evaluate and control hazards; when the parties work and interact openly and effectively, together, to produce the desired result ... a safe and healthy environment for both work and study.
