MOTION 

That Senate approve and recommend to the Board of 

Governors that the wording of Motion 2 [Dean's Search 

Committee.(Graduate Studies)] of S.78-80 be changed 

from: 

"... elected by faculty members jointly, with one 

from each Faculty"; 

to:

one elected by and from each Faculty". 

RATIONALE: 

The existing wording has been interpreted to mean that the four 

faculty members on the Committee should be elected by the Faculties jointly. 

The possible effect of this interpretation is that one Faculty (Arts) 

because of its size, could well choose who would represent the smaller 

Faculties. This is clearly contrary to the spirit of the original motion, 

which was that each Faculty should have representation of its own choosing.

future committees.
