MEMORANDUM
To: John Waterhouse, ?
From: Judith A. Osborne
Acting President
Subject: Policy Revision Al2.08
?
Date: April 26, 2005
Attached is a final draft of a revision to Policy Al2.08. The revisions
expand the scope of the existing policy in relation to Adjunct
Professors to cover a new category of adjunct appointments called
Adjunct Professors of Clinical Practice. This has been done primarily to
meet the needs of the newly established Faculty of Health Sciences,
but it may also be a useful category for departments such as
Psychology and Gerontology.
In the development of the revisions the faculty Association were
consulted and no objections were expressed to the draft in its current
form.
Accordingly, I recommend that the revised policy go forward for
approval.
I concur and so recommend.
