MEMORANDUM
TO: Senate ?
FROM: Mike Dinning, Secretary
Senate Appeals Board
RE: Senate Appeals Board ?
DATE: April 14,2003
Annual Report for 2002
The Board considers cases wherein a student or former student feels aggrieved by the decision of a
faculty, department or other administrative unit relating to a registration in courses, withdrawal from
the University, eligibility for graduation, approval to a program or matter relating to academic
standing, when special circumstances are present.
S
SAB meets bi-monthly, or when there is sufficient business to warrant a meeting. The Senate Appeals
Board met five times in 2002 reviewing a total 24 appeal cases, of which three were still pending by
the end of the year.
Dates of the Meetings in
2002: May 17, June 17, July 22, September 23, November 21
Current SAB Membership:
Thomas du Payrat, Chair
Lee Hanlan, Faculty Member
Mark Wexler, Faculty Member
Sam Black, Alternate Faculty Member
Hilmar Pabel, Alternate Faculty Member
Nicola Kretz, Undergraduate Student Member
Cynthia Leung, Alternate Undergraduate Student Member
Randy Peters, Graduate Student Member

SAB Members whose terms ended during 2002:
Rina Zazkis, Faculty Member
John Bechhoefer, Alternate Faculty Member
Chris Steinbach, Undergraduate Student Member
Leeanna Simons, Graduate Student Member
New Secretary:
As of April 1, 2002 Mike Dinning replaced Nick Heath as Secretary and Erika Auton replaced Sharon
Plesha as Recording Secretary
Procedure:
Each appeal is first screened to determine whether special circumstances are present. All appeals are
first heard in-camera (written form only) and some are resolved at that stage. If the SAB is unable to
give a positive judgement at Stage 1, and if the student has requested an in-person hearing, the case is
decided at a hearing at which the student or a representative is able to present further evidence and
answer questions (Stage 2). Most hearings last about 20-30 minutes.
