items for information
10. president's
report
the president noted that the fall enrolments have turned out to be
higher than reported in the agora article.
they were still below target, but were high enough not automatically to
necessitate budget cuts. the university
was, however, relying on the flow through of the double cohort to shore up its
enrolments. when the double cohort
世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
had graduated that deficiency would have to be made up - or budget
cuts would become inevitable; hence the importance of establishing the orillia
campus to provide an extra draw on the student pool of southern ontario.
the ontario government had not yet indicated their allocations to the provincial
universities for the current budget year (which had started on may 1st), but it
was hoped that this information would be forthcoming in the next week. the president hoped to discuss with the
minister in the near future the university's funding concerns - especially
unfunded 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and graduate student funding.
he said as well that, while the ontario
government would be lifting the fee freeze in the next year, there would not be
total deregulation: fee increases would be limited, probably, between the rate
of inflation and 5%.
he reported that the senate academic appeal committee had conducted a
hearing - and the appellant had won.
the president responded to questions by p. hollings, b. muirhead, and t.
king related to funding.
11. report
of the vice-president (academic) and provost
l. hayes thanked faculty for welcoming back 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and expressed her
appreciation of their work in the classroom.
she covered a wide range of topics including orillia, undergraduate
program reviews, academic planning, nosm, the extension of the collaborative
nursing program to 4 rural sites, the appointment of dr. gillian siddall as
director of the centre for instructional development, an initiative by the
senate committee on teaching and learning, the ptr timetable, upcoming 40th
anniversary celebrations in the hangar, the ontario universities' fair, and her
own representation of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜
at a major universities fair in
minneapolis.
m. shaw reported on fall enrolments so far. k. fedderson noted that the new enrolment
report produced by the office of institutional analysis was superior to that
presented by the registrar because the former included the involvement of the
faculties other than education in the concurrent program. m. shaw said that he would consult with the
director of the office of institutional analysis on this subject.
12. report
of nosm
dr. joel lanphear, associate dean of undergraduate medical education,
spoke on behalf of r. strasser and d. hunt who could not be present. he expressed gratitude to the president,
vice-president (academic), and vice-provost for assisting nosm in getting
started, and to the university in general for its understanding and patience in
view of the idiosyncrasies of medical school administrative organization. he talked about the highlights of nosm's
first weeks as a fully functioning medical school, accreditation, and the
composition of the student body (e.g. 66% female, 18% francophone, 11%
aboriginal, and the average age: 27.6).
13. renewal of adjunct
appointment
for information f. gilbert reported to senate the renewal of dr. jaro
kotalik's appointment to the department of philosophy as adjunct professor.
14. appointments to the core
faculty of the mph program
for information i. newhouse reported to senate the appointments of drs. j. mcauliffe,
brian m. ross, and patricia m. smith as core faculty in the mph program.
15. student
satisfaction survey of courses
k.l. clarke could not be present, but her report was posted to the web.
