NOMINATIONS AND ELECTION OF ONE 

?

Date ? 

FEBRUARY 17, 1972 

Election is required of one Senator to the Academic 

Planning Committee as replacement for D. R. Birch whilst he sits 

on the Committee in the ex-officio capacity as Acting Dean of 

Education. 

For the information of Senators a list is attached 

showing the current membership of the Committee. 

In accordance with Senate election procedures, the 

Senate Nominating Committee has submitted nominations, as indi- 

cated below, with election to be undertaken at the meeting of 

Senate, Monday, March 6, 1972. Members are reminded that under 

Senate regulations any Senator who wishes to add nominations to 

those listed below may do so by notifying the Secretary of Senate 

in writing of such nominations to reach his office no later than 

Friday, March 3, 1972. Nominations received after that time, and 

nominations from the floor, cannot be accepted. 

If a nomination is made, the Senator making the nomina- 

tion must ensure in advance that the nominee is willing to stand 

for nomination. 

The Senate Nominating Committee, acting through Dr. 

Aronoff as spokesman, has proposed two names as nominees. These 

have been made with some expression of embarrassment as both 

individuals are on the Nominating Committee, but with security in 

the belief that either one would be a very suitable candidate, and 

with a rationale for each choice. It is noted that two of the 

members of the Nominating Committee also are members of the 

Academic Planning Committee and are familiar with its tasks.

DR. M. S. O'CONNELL 

?

The Nominating Committee notes that there has 

Faculty of Education 

?

always been a voting member from the Faculty 

of Education on the Academic Planning Committee 

and that this may have been an initial intent 

of Senate. The continued presence of Dr. Birch 

on the Academic Planning Committee would continue 

his input but terms of reference do not permit 

him to vote on academic priorities. The 

Nominating Committee believes that Professor 

O'Connell has a mature, thoughtful, and non- 

parochial view of University problems.
