With the appointment of Dr. J.P. Blaney as full-tine Vice-President,
Development, effective July 1, 1984, it will become necessary to search for a
new Dean. Under the University Act, this search is to be carried out by a
Search Committee whose membership and terns of reference have been established
by the Board of (bvernors and approved by Senate. After discussion with
Dean Blaney, I propose the following composition and term of reference for
this Search Committee. The terms of reference generally parallel those used
in searches for Deans and the Registrar. Terne of reference for the Committee
would be as follows:
mer
daers
1.
Vice-President, Academic
?

Two Faculty Deans
?
Selected by the Deans
3.
Two Program Directors,
?

of no iore than five persons submitted
by the Student Society.
ii) One Community Person ?
Appointed by the President
from a list of no more than five
persons submitted by the
executive of the Alumni
Association.
Tents of Reference
1.
Deciding whether to include persons outside the University in the
search.
2.
Engaging in a search for poteritial candidates, examining their
credentials, and arranging for appropriate interviews.
3.
Bringing to the President within a reasonable period of time
one or more recommendations for appointment as Dean of
Continuing Studies.
S
This proposal would provide for apprcpriate representation
frit the various
constituencies affected by Continuing Studies. In particular, the inclusion
of persons from the cxxrrm]nity is an important reflection of the outreach
activities of this office of the University.

If you agree with this proposal, it should be presented
to the Board of Governors at their June meeting with subsequent
consideration at the July meeting of Senate. If both bodies
approve, the Search Committee can be formed over the summer and.
begin its work in September.
