Budget Reduction Group

  • University Name

The Budget Reduction Group (or Non-Teaching Budget Reduction Group) was established in the 1992-1993 academic year as a project team with a mandate to oversee budget reductions and retructuring proposals, in the face of harsh economic conditions and severely reduced government funding in the early 1990s. In Ontario, for example, an already low 2% increase in funding was eliminated in favour of a one-time $56 million restructuring grant for the province's post-secondary educational system in the 1993-1994 fiscal year. As a result, Ryerson was forced to consider and implement cuts, mainly in non-teaching areas, in order to meet the goals of its Financial Management Plan and reduce its cumulative operating deficit. The following report in the March 19, 1993 issue of the University's newsletter, FORUM, summarizes the process by which restructuring decisions and budget reductions were to be achieved: "Decisions on restructuring involved a staged process that began with a project team of Richard Malinski, Larissa Allen, Marion Creery and Peter Gee meeting with individual directors to review their restructuring proposals, based on scenarios that called for budget reductions of 4%, 6% and 8%. The proposals were examined against criteria that included centrality to the mission and institutional priorities; potential for technology substitution and business practices modification; capacity to streamline or flatten organizational structure; and relevant historical and comparative financial data. The project team recommended targets to each director, including position closings and non-salary reductions. It was then reported to the group of directors, with members of the executive in attendance, on which matters the project team and individual directors had differences of opinion, for the purpose of collective decision-making. Consensus on restructuring changes was reached in that manner." The records in this collection were turned over by Richard Malinski, Chief Librarian and a member of the Budget Reduction Group and were deposited in the Archives in 1995 under A.1995-004. They cover the 1992-1994 period. By and large, the original order of these records was maintained in their arrangement into the Archives Collection. Some material was re-organized in chronological order. Most of the sub-series in this record group have a restricted or closed access condition because of the sensitive and recent nature of the information. This status will be subject to re-evaluation in future years. The physical extent of this collection is 12 cm.

Campus Planning

  • University Name

The Department of Campus Planning was established indirectly in the mid to late 1960s in conjunction with the Institute's physical development program. George Wildish was Planning Director. The department may also have been known as Physical Plant and Planning, thereby suggesting that these two functions may have been Wildish's responsibility. On July 15, 1968, Wildish and his four-man staff resigned. His "department" was divided into two departments: Campus Planning and Physical Plant. The Campus Planning Department was headed temporarily by John Wimbs, an external consultant. In December, 1968, Wimbs ended his tenure as Acting Director of Campus Planning and returned to private practice. John Ezyk, a civil engineer and a five-year member of the campus planning department at York University, was appointed Director of Campus Planning. In February, 1970, George Hume joined the Campus Planning Department as Project Coordinator. It appears that, from early on, Ezyk oversaw both the campus planning and physical plant activities. His title, as listed in the 1971 internal Ryerson telephone directory, was Director, Campus Planning and Physical Plant. In 1973, Ezyk's title became Director, Physical Resources as he appeared to continue to oversee the same two activities throughout the 1970s. It also appears that he jointly held the title of Director, Campus Planning during this period. Unless substantial records from the office of the Director, Physical Resources come to the fore, records pertaining to this office and to John Ezyk's role as Director, Physical Resources will be arranged under the Campus Planning Group. In 1974 (February?), George Hume was appointed Associate Director of Campus Planning. On January 1, 1981, the department of Physical Resources was officially established with the consolidation of three existing departments: Campus Planning, Physical Plant and Communications Engineering Services. John Ezyk was appointed Director of Physical Resources (although he already held this title throughout much of the 1970s). George Hume was appointed Associate Director -Planning.

Career Centre

  • University Name

Ryerson Placement Office was first opened in 1949 with Mr. A.H. Britton running a part-time service for graduating students seeking employment. In preparation Mr. Britton sought out numerous employers in the Toronto area. In 1949 these same companies were contacting him for employable students. The were plenty of available employment opportunities. By 1965 demands were so high for placements three placement officers were needed.

In 1967 the federal government took over the Placement Office, renaming it the Canada Manpower Centre; however, it continued to be refered to as the Placement Office or Centre. The new Student Services department opened the same year within which was the Placement Office.

Services for summer employment started in the late 1970s, The first annual Careers’ Fair in 1984. In cost-cutting measures, the federal government closed the Canada Manpower Centre in WHEN? putting the whole office at risk. Acting President Dennis Mock fought to keep the Placement Centre open (1990-1991) and the students generated a petition in support of the Centre. Both Ryerson and Employment Canada reached an agreement to keep the Centre for another year. A five-year grant of $365,000 from the private Counselling Foundation of Canada saved the Placement Centre in 1991 prompting a name change to the Ryerson Career Centre.

Expanded services included continuing education students in 1993 and to alumni in 1997.

A student referendum held in 1995 voted an additional $50 fee toward the operation of the Career Centre. A private donation of $750,000 from the Bank of Montreal was given for the new Mentoring and Career Resource Centre (separate from the Career Centre).

Another name change to Career Development and Employment Centre and then in 2014 name was changed once again to the Career Centre.

Effective January 1, 1970 departments CJRT-FM/TV and Audio-Visual Aids Resource Centre were re-organized to create the Communication Engineering Services Department (CES) and the Media Centre, the purpose of both to provide a co-ordinated service for radio, television, and audio-visual aids to academic and administrative departments. Prior to the re-organization, a growing need throughout the school for audio-visual hardware and servicing resulted in a variety of television and audio equipment collected in various academic departments.
CES provided consulting, formerly allocated by the Campus Planning Department, installation, maintenance, and technical services for radio, television, and audio-visual equipment. It also maintained the hardware for RCTV, Instructional Television facilities, RTA facilities, CJRT-FM, and public address and surveillance systems.
Kurt Mayer, the chief engineer of CJRT-FM, was the first director of CES, who reported to the Vice President of Administration.
Before the end of the 1970s, the service expanded to include the telephone system and computer terminals.
Effective May 30, 1986, CES became part of the Computing Centre integrating the hardware and voice resources of CES with the data and software resources of the Computing Centre.

In 1963 Ryerson's first computer, an IBM 1620 was installed and in 1966 Daisy (Directy Access Information System) Ryerson's first general purpose computer, an IBM 360 model 30, was installed. On April 10, 1974 Ryerson and York University's joint computing centre (YRCC) opened at the Keele Street Campus of York – Ryerson uses Ryerson Computing Centre (RCC) in Kerr Hall to talk to mainframe. Bruce H. Miller was hired as the Managing Director of YRCC, and Ian Taylor as the Director of the RCC. In 1978 the Ryerson Computer Planning Group established. Mitch Kallaur started as acting director of the RCC and Ian Taylor as the managing director of YRCC in 1980. In 1981 a word processor was purchased for the computing centre and RISIS II (Ryerson Integrated Student Information System), a centralized registration for day, night, and continuing education students, was installed. In 1982 IBM and Ryerson entered cooperative agreement to modernize the computing centre – IBM gave $3.7 million and Ryerson matched it with $4.3 million, and Architects Lett/Smith design a $1 million renovation of Kerr Hall West space, funded by a grant from the Federal Government's Skills Growth fund. Academic computing became a functional unit at the same level as administrative computing in 1982 and the RCC was re-organized two divisions – administrative computing services and computing support services (which included academic user services, operations and technical support) – to four: administrative computing services, academic support, technical support, and operations. Also in 1982 Marg Alliston was hired as the Director of the RCC. In 1983 a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) facility opened at Ryerson. A computing information centre was opened to provide students with computing help and the academic computing information system opened to provide faculty with computing help.
Also in 1983, the York-Ryerson computing agreement cancelled by Ryerson’s Board of Governors.
In 1985, John Johnston was hired as the director of the RCC and IBM furnished upgraded computer equipment for the RCC. In 1986 the centralized word processing centre was closed because departments were purchasing their own computers. This prompted the Communication Engineering Services (CES) to integrate into the Computing Centre to form the Computing and Communications Service (CCS) department. Units under the new department were: RISIS, Academic Computing Services, Technical Computing Services, Communication Services and Application Control, and Broadcast Systems. John Johnston becomes Director of the new department. In Kerr Hall South, the Administrative Computing Information Centre opened in Rm 355A. Morven Wilson became the Director of CCS in 1988. In 1989 BITNET/NETWORTH allows Ryerson students to send email and files globally. In 1991 the old computer punch cards are retired. Randy Patch becomes the Acting Manager of Academic Computing Services, and under his leadership the Computer Support Centre was formed - consolidating the Academic Computing Information Centre and the Administrative Information Centre. In 1992 a Systems Committee was formed to assess Ryerson's academic computing needs for the next five years. In 1993, some functions of CCS were moved to the basement of the Library Building, using funding provided by the Provincial Government, and servers replaced mainframe computers.
The Ryerson calendar became available on the internet through Gopher, Ryerson became part of the University Space Network (USN), a virtual university of space studies, and full time students get internet access in 1994. Renee Lemieux becomes acting director of CCS and the world wide web becomes available at Ryerson in 1995. In 1996 Computing and Communications Services was reorganized: Academic Teaching and Technology Support (under new manager), Administrative Information and Technology Support (under Larry Lemieux), Communications Technology Support (under Renee Lemieux). In 2001 wireless internet access became available and by 2003 email was required for students. In 2007 virtual applications program launched – access to MS Office, Adobe programs etc, and CCS had virtualized most of its servers.

Eggy the Ram

  • University Name

Eggy is the name of the Ryerson University mascot. Eggy I was purchased in 1961 by 4 students on the Administrative Council from the Toronto Stockyards. He made his debut at a Hockey game at Varsity Arena. There were a total of five real ram mascots between 1961 and 1991. Eggy I lived on campus during the school year in a pen and shelter behind Oakham House (then called Kerr Hall) and spent the summer on a farm outside the city. Eggy II did the same until the mid 1960s. From that time, Eggy II through V lived on a farm year long and was transported to campus for events.Eggy V was the last live mascot. He died in 1992. The Human Society pressured universities using live animals as mascots to stop the practice due to cruelty.
While the real Eggy was still making appearances, Athletics and Recreation had a costumed Eggy from about the 1980s. The costume Eggy was gone through changes since its inception with the latest transformation occuring in 2011 when the costume was recreated to showcase a trimmer Eggy with two different costume heads.
