interim Chair by acclamation.

Arrroval of the Minutes of the ODen Session of lune 7.2004

The Minutes were approved as distributed.

Business Arising from the Minutes

Reference was made to the report under Item 3 about the removal of students who

did not meet prerequisite requirements. N. Haunerland mentioned that the check

was done after departments had already removed a number of ineligible students

so the figures did not actually reflect the total number of ineligible students who

could have registered.

Report of the Chair

There was no formal report from the Chair. On behalf of Senate, the Chair

welcomed the newly elected Student Senator from Education, Marcia McInnes, and

thanked two Senators who were attending their final Senate meeting: Senator Bruce

Clayman, and Senator Stella Atkins.
