HME:pr 

Under the terms of the Universities Act, 1974, there is a 

provision for a number of Senate and Senate-related committees 

additional to those already established. Further, the new act 

establishes a new structure in Senate membership with the new members 

to assume office likely June 1. It is clear that a number of changes 

in committee members will occur. In addition, the structure of some 

Senate committees did undergo revision following addition of the fourth 

faculty to the University whereas in others there has been no reflection 

of this change.

task and have 

is considered timely and desirable to look with care at the 

terms of reference of the new committees to be established 

the structure and terms of reference of the present committees, 

establishing the most suitable working interrelationships. 

is proposed to establish a Senate Committee to undertake this 

it report to Senate for Senate action. 

It is further proposed that pending the report of this Committee 

and Senate actions thereon that the currently existing committees continue 

with present structures and terms of reference but with any changes in 

membership as necessitated with the establishment of the new Senate. The 

present Senate Nominating Committee will be asked to bring forward 

nominations as necessary for action at the June meeting of Senate. 

Memberships on those committees normally change following changes 

to Senate and on October 1st following voting during September or at the 

October meeting of Senate. It would be helpful, therefore, if any changes 

to structure could be completed not later than the September meeting of 

Senate to permit calls for elections to be completed before October. 

Alternatively some extension of terms of office into October of this year 

may be possible. 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

1. That Senate approve the establishment of a Senate Committee on Committees. 

.

?

2. That the Senate Nominating Committee provide its recommendations for 

membership on the Committee under current rules to permit elections to 

occur at the June 2 meeting of Senate.
