    Paper S.97-46 - Annual Report
    The Chair of the Committee, Ellen Gee, was unable to attend the meeting. D.
    Gagan advised Senate that he had met with the Chair of SCUTL and discussed
    the Committee's activities and its future mandate. It was his expectation that
    the Committee will re-examine its mandate over the next few months and
    bring recommendations to Senate regarding issues which the Committee
    feels Senate should deal with.
    In the absence of the Committee Chair, interest was expressed with respect to
    tabling this item to the next meeting of Senate in order to ask questions and
    hear from the Committee. The Chair advised that SCAR will take the
    sentiment of Senate into consideration in determining whether this item
    should return to Senate.

    J. D'Auria advised that a Draft Policy on Religious Holidays has been
    circulated by the Associate Vice-President Academic to Departments for
    comment. Concerns within the Department of Chemistry have been
    expressed about some parts of the policy and forwarded to the Associate Vice-
    President Academic for discussion. Since he felt the policy affected academic
    activity within the University, J. D'Auria urged the Administration to bring
