Date:
April 14, 2005
John, attached are copies of proposed terms of reference for RCMP funded University Chairs in
1) Crime Analysis, and 2) Computational Criminology. I have been closely involved in the
negotiations of these two Chairs. My support for them is unconditional. Their creation will
provide added research focus and specialization within Criminology and facilitate access to
information/data bases which would otherwise not be the case. I am satisfied that this is an
arm's length relationship with the RCMP.
I would propose that SCUP introduce a motion of approval contingent upon the signing of the
MOU with the RCMP. In this way, the RCMP could be satisfied that the university approval
bodies are content with substance, terms and conditions of the Chairs appointments, and the
university can be satisfied that they are not approving terms that will not
be signed.
