Senate for approval.

Terms of Reference
The Dennis F. Culver Executive MBA Alumni Professorship will be established at Simon Fraser

Purpose of the Endowment
The purpose of the Dennis F. Culver Executive MBA Alumni Professorship is to promote
excellence in teaching, research and community outreach within the Faculty of Business
Administration at Simon Fraser University. The Professorship will be directed to either the
retention of an existing faculty member or to the attraction
of a new tenure track faculty member
who will maintain and improve the core activities and interests of the EMBA Programme.

Fraser University. The administrator of the Fund will be the Vice President, Academic or his/her

income (see Endowment Management Policy OP 20) will be used each year to provide a salary
supplement for the incumbent of the Dennis F. Culver Executive MBA Alumni Professorship.
In the event that circumstances make the specified use of the Endowment Fund no longer
practicable or desirable, the Board of Governors at Simon Fraser University is hereby authorized
to
make
any changes it may deem necessary in the terms or use of the Endowment Fund. Such
