IDENT ACADEMIC SEARCH 

SEA

On July 25, 1978 the Board approved motion that a Search Committee for a 

Vice-President Academic be established consisting of:- (a) the President as 

Chairman; (b) the Vice-President Administration; (c) two Deans selected by the 

Deans; (d) four faculty members elected by and from faculty members (one from 

each Faculty); (e) one undergraduate student elected by and from the undergraduate 

student body; (f) one graduate student elected by and from the graduate student 

body; (g) the President of the Faculty Association; (h) the President of the 

Student Forum. There was provision that the Search Committee establish its 

operating procedures. 

On recommendation by the Faculty of Arts, Senate and the Board in November 1978 

approved some change to item (d) for future committees, namely that (d) read 

"four faculty members, one elected by and from each Faculty". The Faculties then 

were Arts, Education, Interdisciplinary Studies, Science. 

Since that time there has been establishment of two Faculties, one large 

Business Administration, one very small Engineering Science. As the previous 

wording is not compatible with the present circumstances change is recommended 

but only where required. 

MOTION: 

"That the Search Committee for a Vice-President Academic consist of:- 

(a)

the President as chairman 

(b)

the vice-President Administration 

(c)

three Deans selected by the Deans 

(d)

faculty members, one elected by and from each of the Faculties - 

of Arts, of Business Administration, of Education, of Interdisciplinary 

Studies, of Science at present five 

(e)

one undergraduate student elected by and from the undergraduate 

student body 

(f)

one graduate student elected by and from the graduate student body 

(g)

the President of the Faculty Association 

(h)

3he President of the Student Society. 

The Search Committee will establish its operating procedures." 

It is intended that this committee be established now to begin its work as 

soon as elections are completed. 

It is proposed that this item in the form .approved by the Board be placed 

before Senate for approval at its meeting of February 6.
