Re p ort of the

Chairman

a)

Senate was informed that the nominees for university scholarships such as the Simon

Fraser and Presidents Entrance Scholarships and the Shrum Scholarship had been contacted

personally for the first time in SFUs history and he expressed opinion that this personal touch

appeared to be valued by the students. R. Saunders added that only one of the nominees had

declined.

b)

The Chairman reported that there was very little further news In terms of budget

Information. Announcement for the allocation of some funds had been made and he was

pleased to report that on the basic distribution, SPU had been fairly and reasonably treated.

However, the actual budget is not yet known and the administration is still unable to commence

salary and benefit discussions for employee groups.

c)

Following review of promotion, tenure and renewal files, the Chairman expressed how

impressed he was with the high quality of so many faculty colleagues at

SPU.

d)

Following attendance at the Annual Meeting of the SFU Alumni organization, the

Chairman wished to draw Senates attention to the tremendous job the Alumni has done In

fund-raising and, on behalf of the University, extended thanks to Greg Basham for the superb

job he had done as President and noted that he has agreed to serve in this position for another

term.

e)

The Chairman presented a brief report on the Bridge to the Future campaign and noted

that J

. Blaney and his staff were doing a superb job in this respect. He also reported that with
