    Subject: Dissolution of a Centre
    X-Originating-1 P: (192.168.102.42]
    Dear Dr Pinto
    I write to you to request the formal dissolution of the Centre for International Studies, which has in effect been redundant
    for some time, as I reported last year. The Centre was set up before my own arrival at SFU as the Director of the School for
    International Studies, and the launching of the School's teaching and research programmes from Fall 2007. As the School
    became established the role that the Centre for International Studies had been set up to take on was taken over by the
    School. A further factor - and a part of the process to which I am referring - has been the retirement from the University of
    Professor Lenard Cohen, who was the Director of the Centre.
    I request, therefore, that the Centre be formally dissolved.
    with regards
    John Harriss
    Director
    School for International Studies
