1991 Alberta Survey
University’s Population Research Laboratory, three-quarters of those who recommended additional funding said they would still be in favour if tax increases were necessary.
Laboratory Director Harvey Krahn (Soci- ology), who conducted the survey for the President, said last week the results indicate strongly that universities in this province are highly valued institutions. “Albertans value universities a great deal and they want their politicians to keep that in mind when they’re [politicians] making decisions.
“It is clearly evident that public opinion has not shifted away from the belief that the provincial government should provide more funding for Alberta universities,” Dr Krahn outlined, recalling that in a similar survey in 1988 64 percent supported increases.
The survey, which asked 1,345 randomly selected adults their views on a series of ques- tions regarding universities, also indicated
hat may be an appropriate remedy for one sexual harassment case may be to- tally inappropriate for another, Human Rights Officer Suzanne Anselmo said 23 October. “That's why we feel it’s important to put all the options before the complainant before any choices are made,” said Anselmo, who, along with Fran Trehearne, director of the Office of Human Rights, was invited by the History Department to address the topic of sexual harassment at a brown-bag lunch. “First and foremost, the way things are structured now, our office realizes that it is a client-driven process. The complainant has control over how the case will be handled,” she explained. “If the complainant feels that he
strong support for keeping tuition fees close to current levels. “Only 18 percent of Albertans recommended an increase in tuition fees, while 78 percent stated that they would prefer that tuition fees be maintained close to their current level.”
Dr Krahn said that while there is resist- ance to raising tuition fees substantially, a small majority of the survey respondents believe that the U of A’s raising of entrance requirements from 65 percent high school average to 70 percent was an acceptable way to manage the number of students coming to the University. Almost 60 percent agreed with the policy, 20 percent agreed strongly, 24 percent disagreed and 13 percent were neutral on the question. Four percent did not answer.
On the issue of whether universities should be training students for specific jobs, or training them for more general broader educa- tion, 50 percent said job-specific training should be the primary goal of universities. Thirty-eight percent said universities’ primary goal should be to provide general broader education.
Dr Krahn said the University already does a great deal of job-specific training, and unlike other industrialized countries, Canada does not provide as much on-the-job training for employees. The survey also indicated that respondents with university degrees tended to favour a general education (47 percent) over job-specific training (40 percent).
Other findings included:
e in the past two years, 61 percent of Ed- monton respondents had been on the U of A campus for a variety of reasons;
e 51 percent considered the U of A to be an above average university in the country, while 48 percent said it was average;
* respondents in the two major cities were more enthusiastic about the possible offering of more evening and weekend courses than were other Albertans;
e 57 percent agreed with reserving spaces for aboriginal students;
e 74 percent agreed with reserving spaces for disabled students;
e and 49 percent agreed with the statement that foreign students in Alberta universities enhance the quality of education for all students.
Dr Krahn said the data is useful in a number of ways. It can help universities make their case to government. It can assist institu- tions in evaluating current policies. It also reminds the campus community just how vital it is to the city and the province, he said, pointing out that one of the surprises indi- cated by survey results was the extent to which interaction occurs between the U of A and the broader community.
H arnessing technology to serve University of Alberta students better. That’s how Associate Registrar Hugh King describes
the recently introduced computer system of student advising called STAR (STudent Advis- ing Report).
The new computer software program, pur- chased from Miami University, Ohio, and de- veloped in-house by the Registrar’s Office and University Computing Systems to fit the U of A, will be used in conjunction with the University Calendar to plan students’ programs.
The STAR system outlines a student's pro- gram on an ongoing basis and allows students to see what requirements are outstanding.

or she does not wish to make a formal com- plaint, we respect that. We provide them with a variety of options,” she said, adding that the advantages and disadvantages of each option are spelled out.
“Sexual harassment in many people’s minds is a person with power who makes unwanted attentions to individuals without power. That can be a dimension of sexual harassment,” she said. “But we’re beginning to see situations where there have been rela- tionships that end. Charges of harassment are then levied against one or the other parties.
“In other words, there is a broad spectrum of the types of harassment that exist on this

Computer-assisted advising introduced by University
System will track students’ requirements
Piloted first in the three largest Faculties, and covering the BA General (AR20), BEd (ED 28) and BSc General (SC92), the new system can be used as a status report and help in deter- mining a student’s progress to date.
Registrar Brian Silzer said the new system will certainly reduce the numbers of students who have been ill-advised or who have found to their dismay that they haven't met the pro- gram requirements when they thought they had done so.
Randy Wimmer, in the Registrar's Information Systems Division, said the STAR system will complement the Calendar and

allow advisers in the various departments to concentrate on advising and relieve them of having to spend so much time interpreting the Calendar. The system will be able to provide students with information such as what courses they have that would be applicable to other programs.
According to Vice-President (Academic) John McDonald, many students start out in the three largest Faculties, discover the rich diver- sity of courses the University offers and decide to switch. So, there exists the possibility of mistakes, he said. This new system will help

students make those transitions with all the necessary information, he pointed out last week.
Students’ Union Vice-President Academic Tan MacCormack welcomed the introduction of the system. This is an extremely positive move, he said, and we look forward to its expansion.
King said it will take two or three years before the system will encompass all degree programs. He estimated it has taken 2,500 work days to get the system up and running. The University paid $15,000 US for the pro- gram, and pays an annual fee of $1,500. It’s expected that students in the three Faculties will receive STAR reports with their registra- tion materials next March.
“Everyone that we’ve developed the report for to that point will receive a copy,” said King. Students at any time will be able to walk intoa Faculty office and say, ‘Where am I in my pro- gram?’ and the advisers will be able to hand over a copy of the report in a matter of minutes.
In other related news, Silzer said the Uni- versity Calendar is being rewritten in a effort to make it more user friendly. He said putting the STAR system in place has been an instructive process, one that has underscored the complexi- ties students face in the registration process.
Everyone within the University has been a critic of the Calendar at one time or another, said Dr McDonald. One of the main reasons the Calendar is so complex is because of the large number of programs the University of- fers, he said. This system is a nice way of solv- ing some of the problems and putting the Uni- versity of Alberta on a more level playing field with smaller institutions.
FLU VACCINATION POSSIBLE THROUGH UNIVERSITY HEALTH SERVICES
Members of the University community
who wish to be vaccinated against flu can do so by visiting University Health Services’ drop-in clinic. It is necessary, however, to have a doctor’s order before the vaccine can be administered. That service is also available at the clinic.
Vaccination is free for those in the high risk groups, for example, health care givers, adults with chronic health problems such as diabetes and asthma, and people over the age of 65. For those patients who don’t qualify for a high risk group, a fee of $3 will be charged.
University Health Services is open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Corbett Hall pleases all
niversity planners, Wood Gardener O'Neill O’Neil Architects Ltd, the contractor (Aman Building Corporation), and the tradespeople have done their work and turned the ball, er, hall, over to another set of professionals—faculty who instruct and research rehabilitation medicine.
Corbett Hall, fully restored and character- ized by brightness and spaciousness, was officially reopened 17 October by Advanced Education Minister John Gogo, President Paul Davenport and Rehabilitation Medicine Dean Martha Piper. After congratulating those in- volved in the $13 million project, the Minister turned to President Davenport and said, “Re- gardless of what Maclean‘s says, I think you're [the U of A] number 1.” He also said the prov- ince had the highest participation rate in postsecondary education in the country.
President Davenport referred to the gener- osity of the provincial government and told the audience of staff, students, donors and members of the Corbett family, “Make no mistake, our faculty and students have earned this building.” He pronounced Corbett Hall “worthy of the academic excellence they [fac- ulty and students] have achieved.” (This is the first time a Canadian university has designed and renovated an entire building to meet the educational and research needs of occupa- tional therapists, physical therapists and speech language pathologists.)
“We want Corbett Hall to become a na- tional showcase for the ‘state-of-the-art’ in rehabilitation education,” Dean Piper says. Although the interior has been completely redone, traces of the original building remain. To gain extra space, the building has been slightly expanded into the interstices between the wings of its ‘E’ shape.
World Bank program brings Indonesian physical therapists to campus
mong those who busying themselves in Corbett Hall’s classrooms and labs are five physical therapists from Indonesia. They’re here under the auspices of a Fellow- ship Training Program sponsored by the World Bank.
The Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine has two CIDA-linked projects on the go and the program is a spinoff of those arrangements, says Joan Loomis (Physical Therapy).
The Indonesian students arrived in mid- September and will be here until mid-Decem- ber when they return home to resume their careers as physical therapy instructors. (The World Bank program has also placed four Indonesian nurses at Grant MacEwan Community College where they are studying psychiatric nursing.) They're taking four hours of lectures/labs each morning and tuto- rials each afternoon, improving their English language competency all the while. A barrier, albeit a small one, is that we’re teaching them in their second language, Loomis says. In- structors are helped by two factors: the stu- dents took a crash course in English in Dja- karta during the summer and they’re very supportive of each other. At least one person in the group will grasp the essence of a par- ticular problem and quickly convey it to the others, Loomis has observed.
She believes the students were selected because of the positions they hold in
UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA ue FOLIO 1 NOVEMBER 1991
“When we looked at the building in de- tail,” says architect Laura O'Neill, “we soon saw that it was really the exterior of the build- ing which was special-there was very little inside worth saving. The bottom line for us was not doing everything as it was in the old building but rather reflecting the style of the exterior in the interior design. We tried to take clues from the character of the outside, bring them inside and then repeat them.”
Through “Building for Tomorrow,” its successful fundraising campaign, the Faculty has acquired the best equipment possible. It has also benefited from a number of contribu- tions, including those of Apple Canada, Electromed Services and Hovis Medical Lim- ited. Apple has equipped a computer labora- tory, which will be dedicated to the use of computers by persons with disabilities; Hovis has donated a state-of-the-art power wheel- chair; and Electromed Services will provide the Faculty a complete array of the most up- to-date electrotherapy equipment available (valued at more than $200,000) and for five years will replace it yearly to ensure that stu- dents will always be working with the newest equipment available in the marketplace.
Mere hours after the offical reopening, a conference called “The Outcome Measures Conference” opened and continued until noon on the 19th. The results of projects funded by NHRDP (National Health Research and De- velopment Program) were presented by clini- cians and researchers from across Canada. The conference also attracted two researchers from Oxford University and two from the Univer- sity of Washington. The conference’s 250 reg- istrants were, not surprisingly, given tours of Corbett Hall.

Indonesia. “I’m sure they’re under consider- able pressure to make the most of this oppor- tunity and spread the [physical therapy] gos- pel when they return.” In Indonesia there are about 800 physical therapists for a population of 180,000,000; in sharp contrast, Canada has 10,000 physical therapists for 26,000,000 million people, Loomis explains.
The program was designed especially for the Indonesians and is run like a continuing education program. The primary facets are electrotherapy, neurology, musculoskeletal assessment and treatment procedures and clinical education. The three instructors are clinical associates who are involved in the Department of Physical Therapy’s clinical practicums and the six tutors are fourth-year physical therapy students.
Loomis says that, by and large, people who participate in programs of this nature acquire knowledge and information but not problem-solving skills. The Department of Physical Therapy, while covering a lot of ground in the 13-week program, is not over- looking the instilling of those skills, she says.

Public service strike about pay equity,
e
Ethel Blondin says 4/ As far as I was concerned, the public
service strike was all about pay equity,” the MP for the Western Arctic said at the Conversations Among Friends: Women and Constitutional Reform conference held 25 and 26 October.
Ethel Blondin said, “It really was about a human rights issue. I was there when the 30,000 members [of the Public Service Alliance of Canada] marched on the hill, and I looked for the radicalism that was being spoken of. I looked at the faces of those union employees and did not see rich or unreasonable people.
“I saw Canadians, the majority of whom were women, and a majority of whom are earning below $26,000 per year. Most of those are women with children and many of those
are single parents,” the Liberal MP told a full University Hall Council Chamber.
Pay equity means people are doing work of equal value, she explained. Quite different jobs should get the same pay when skills, ef- fort, responsibility and working conditions are the same. And although this is quite difficult for some people to comprehend, it has never- theless been law [in the federal public civil service] since 1977.
But as the Human Rights Commissioner, Max Yalden, said during the strike, ‘Govern- ment talks a lot about pay equity, but when the chips are down, it is not prepared to do what it said it would do’, said the Dene MP, who once worked in the federal public service.
Sexual harassment

campus,” she said. “And that’s why the intake process of the Office of Human Rights is so important, because each harassment case has a variety of different dimensions to it.” :
Anselmo said the Office has developed in- house access to information procedures to guarantee confidentiality. The information is not accessible to anyone other than the com- plainant, and complainants must give the Office express permission to discuss the case outside the Office. “In fact, we have complain- ants sign a letter of release stipulating which individuals they wish the case to be discussed with.
“That letter of release not only illustrates client control, but that we take the issue of confidentiality and controlled release of infor- mation very seriously,” she explained.
“If it is client-driven, and the client chooses not to bring a complaint forward, we must respect what the client has chosen to do. That sometimes presents some difficulty in cases
where we have seen examples of serious infrac- tions of the law. But again because of the client- driven process, we do not have the powers to investigate, and we do not have the powers to bring that complaint forward, unless it is a clear and present danger to the University community. Then we have that allowance to discuss the matter with Campus Security.”
Trehearne said that in the first six months of the year the Office received approximately 20 complaints of sexual harassment.
Legally, sexual harassment in Canada is a violation of human rights legislation; it has been interpreted as such by the courts for at least 10 years, Trehearne explained. And in this province, it is a violation of The Indi- vidual Rights Protection Act, specifically a case of discrimination based on gender.
Since 1987, following the Robichaud Case which was decided by the Supreme Court of Canada, liabilities have been extended to in- clude employers. This has tremendous impli- cations for institutions such as universities, said Trehearne.
Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
Gerald Lock (Mechanical Engineering) has been appointed for a three-year term. Chairing the Commission will be Whit Fraser, a former broadcast journalist who spent more than a decade in the North reporting on northern issues for the CBC National. More recently, Fraser was host of the CBC Newsworld show “This Country.”
Dr Lock, who has extensive interests in the study of ice, interdisciplinary studies and construction techniques in polar regions, said Commission members will meet this month in Yellowknife. “And Id be very disappointed if directors came armed with their own agen- das,” he said, adding that it’s essential the Commission consult far and wide on northern issues.
“T see an enormous number of problems related to northern issues that are so compli- cated, that the more heads we can bring to bear on the problems the better,” Dr Lock said. Although he sees no specific role for the University of Alberta to play, he wants all Canadian universities to work with the Com- mission to help it fulfil its educative function.
One of the Commission’s roles is to pro- mote the development of knowledge about polar regions in Canada. “University research- ers have a special responsibility to continue to promote a dialogue between the North and South. To its credit, this University has done that,” Dr Lock said, noting the large concentra- tions of northernists on campus. “The people who are going to make this Commission work are already in place right across the country.”
Successive federal governments, however, have not always demonstrated consistent and genuine commitments to supporting northern research. Asked about this issue, Dr Lock said the government did listen to a one-person commission which recommended to then DIAND Minister Bill McKnight the establish- ment of such a Commission. “They've listened

Steven Bigras, acting chief of scientific affairs, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, told Folio the Com- mission has an approximate budget of $1.1 million for this year. He cautioned that the Commission is not another granting council.

L’viv University, University of Alberta renew exchange agreement
van Vakarchuk, Rector of L’viv State
University, says some ideas he’s taking home from his visit to the University of Alberta can be applied to the large-scale changes under way at his institution.
Rector Vakarchuk, who spent a week visiting campus and Edmonton’s Ukrainian community, said he was impressed by the Library’s computer system and that his knowledge of it can help L’viv’s library staff as they work to install a similar system. He anticipates further gains for L’viv University through exchanges with units such as the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies and the Department of Slavic and East European Studies. The focus, as detailed in an agreement Rector Vakarchuk and President Paul Daven- port signed 25 October, will be on the humani- ties, with some exchanges in the hard sciences.
L’viv University and the University of Alberta signed an exchange agreement in 1988; the meeting of the two presidents served to renew that agreement, to, in Rector Vakarchuk’s words, “make it more valuable and deeper, especially in the humanities.”
L’viv, Ukraine's oldest university, was founded some 330 years ago. It is located in Western Ukraine, about 60 km from the Polish border. It has 4,000 students, 1,000 professors and lecturers, 90 departments and 13 Faculties. Two more Faculties-Philosophy and International Relations—are to open soon.
As a result of political change, a great deal of reform is taking place on campus, particularly in the humanities, Rector Vakarchuk says. He, in fact, is part of the change, having been elected Rector one year ago. (The Rector is elected by staff and students and serves a four-year term. He/she can then be reelected for one more term. L’viv University has com- plete autonomy; the Minister of Education only ratifies the decision.)
The major reform, he says, concerns the removal of the influences of Marxist-Leninist ideology that had been applied in an artificial way. As for Ukraine itself, there’s a feeling of hope, determination and confidence about the establishment of statehood. “People under- stand that we've gone past the time for mass meetings and demonstrations and that it’s time to get down to work.
“People understand that everything is in their hands and that they can’t depend on Western aid but must rely on mutually benefi- cial relations with other countries. Any mis- takes now can’t be blamed on Moscow but on ourselves.”
A physicist, Rector Vakarchuk says he was involved solely in scholarly pursuits until three years ago. He says he misses his quan- tum mechanics formulas (“they’re much easier to deal with”) but takes great satisfac- tion in participating in building a state.
Presidents Davenport (left) and Vakarchuk put pen to paper.
CAMPUS REVIEWS
As part of the process of carrying out systematic reviews under the guidance of the President’s Advisory Committee on Campus Reviews (PACCR), the School of Native Studies is completing the self-study phase of the review process. The other major phase of the process is the site visit and assessment by the Unit Review Committee on 13, 14 and 15
November. In preparation for this second phase, PACCR invites written comment prior to 13 November. Submissions are for the use of the Unit Review Committee and will be held in confidence by the members of that committee.

Many people suffer from historical amnesia, says engineering ethicist Challenges engineers to set the record straight
j
Margaret Maxey: Only dead fish swim with the current.
B ses are no simple solutions for solving environmental challenges facing the
Earth, but we must begin to do the right thing for the right reasons, says a bioethics professor in the Biomedical Engineering Program at the College of Engineering, University of Texas.
Magaret Maxey, who was the first speaker supported by the Ernest E and Gertrude Poole Chair in Management for Engineers, said 24 October that “the right thing for the wrong reasons-that is the greatest treason.
“T think that what we are trying to pursue in our society today is a quality of life, a level of safety, health and well-being, and a level of environmental protection that will preserve for future generations a legacy for which we can all take pride,” said the President of the National Institute of Engineering Ethics in the United States.
But what is happening is that there is a conflict between two totally different ways of seeing the world, she said. And those two
ways of seeing the world will dictate the kinds of ethics and decisions we want to make as
a society. The “catastrophists” argue that nature exists in a fragile, precarious balance and the preservation ideal requires people
do not touch. “Hand in hand with these ideas is that modern technology can cause global destruction.”
The stereotype says that greedy business- men and engineers are destroying the planet because of their myopia. “They’re either crooks, clowns or conmen.” But, said Dr Maxey, in an animated presentation to a packed audience of engineering students and faculty, it is ludicrous to claim-that Mother Nature is noncarcinogenic.
She pointed out that the entire US regula- tory system is predicated on the belief that there are no safe doses or safe exposures to toxic substances. “The idea that Mother Nature is benign and benevolent is a crock,” she said, citing a number of natural catastrophies which have had much more severe environmental impacts on the Earth than humankind’s activi- ties. “But we don’t make comparisons.”
In her talk titled “Engineering and Ecology: Is there an Ethical Connection?”,
Dr Maxey said other people argue that our lives are worse off because of technological innovation. “I know that we’ve got a problem with the automobile and I can’t wait to buy an electric automobile ...because it is silent, nonpolluting, versatile and I can plug it in
at night. Many people suffer from historical amnesia,” she said, pointing out that human- kind has in the past overcome the problems resulting from technological innovation.

W of constitutional reform to protect what they’ve already gained, Anne McLellan (Law) told the Conversations Among Friends: Women and Constitutional Reform conference held 25 and 26 October. “We need to be alert to the possibility that changes may limit the statuatory gains women have already made.
A member of a panel which discussed why women should care about constitutional reform, Professor McLellan said women should be alarmed about the decentralized proposals now on the table and the implica- tions they may have for the establishment of, for example, a national daycare program.
The Law Professor noted that the inclu- sion of property rights in the Constitution is also cause for concern. “As a group within

society, women don’t have much property,” she said, noting that women have counted on the state to redistribute property.
This time around women must discuss more equitable representation in some of the country’s federal institutions, she said. Women may have gained some power in 1982, but the agenda remains largely unfulfilled.
Professor McLellan asked if women aren't involved, who will represent them? “Historically, constitution making has been dominated by men,” she pointed out, adding that that isn’t to say men can’t be allies in the process. Furthermore, she said, some women are more able to speak out than other less em- powered women, so women in good jobs or in tenured university positions need to consult with the less empowered women in society.

Jill Vickers, a political scientist from Carleton University in Ottawa, said it’s impor- tant which level of government has jurisdic- tion over services women depend on. Women aren’t related to the state in the same way men are and are less mobile than men.
She pointed out that institutions are struc- tured geographically, yet women are dis- persed geographically throughout the coun-
try. The reality, she said, is that as consumers —
of government services, most women must be more related to the state than are men. She said the issue in the late 1970s of which level of government would have jurisdiction over divorce was extremely important to women.
Ginette Busque, Eastern Vice-President of . the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women, said women outside Quebec wanted the jurisdiction over divorce to remain with the federal government, while women in Quebec favoured provincial jurisdiction and saw it as an opportunity to harmonize the issue with civil code reform.
And again in 1987, opting out provisions included in a proposed national child care program were criticized by women outside Quebec, but were not feared by women within Quebec who felt they were ahead of the rest of the country on the child care issue.
Busque pointed out that women outside
‘Quebec do not have to deal with the issue of
sovereignty. In Quebec some women’s groups have come out in favour of sovereignty, while others have refused to take a position, fearing they will be linked to a particular political party or the loss of federal funding.
“Our country has had many fathers and no mothers. We’re not present in the corridors of power,” she said, adding that there is now a notable lack of women’s participation in the process of constitutional reform. “We have to be vigilant because we are the only ones who can defend our interests,” Busque told the well-attended conference sponsored by the Centre for Constitutional Studies.
