“FIVE YEAR PLAN:

- STUDENT SOCIETY REPORT

The responsibility of the Student Society in this college is
two-fold; to represent the viewpoints of the student body as a
whole, and to protect the rights and freedom of all the students
therein. It Is with both these priorities in mind and with part-
icular emphasis on the latter, that the Student Society of ECCAD
must oppose the implimentation of the "Five Year Plan'' as it now
exists.

it must also be noted that the 'Plan' was prepared by the Admin-

istration of the College and sent to Victoria for assessment with-

out consultation with elther students or faculty. It is impossible,

therefore, to adequately represent the best interests of the College
as a whole and we feel that the inherent lack of protocol in this
administrative decision serves to automatically place the motives

of the Administration suspect in the eyes of the Student Society.

The fact that there is no projected expansion or upgrading of
the existing curriculum and present physical plant site of the
College is an issue of major concern to the students. We must there-
fore look at the Plan very closely to ascertain if it's implimen-
tation would enhance our working environment or, indeed, act as a
detriment to a situation already in need of improvement.

If the existing curriculum was operating smoothly, with adequate
space and funding, then there is little doubt that the impliment-
ation of a 3-D Design course would serve to benifit the College.
Unfortunately this is not the case; already, some of the course

descriptions in the 'Plan' are deemed inacurate by the students
