FOR INFORMATION
Departments are required to report annually, through the Deans, on the number of male and female applicants for regular full-time academic positions, as well as the number of males and females interviewed and subsequently appointed. This year, a new format has been adopted for the consolidated University report providing both historical and interinstitutional context. The report (attached as ) originates in the Office of the Provost & Vice-President (Academic) and was prepared by Professor D. Janelle, Acting Assistant Vice-Provost (Faculty Affairs).
Attached as Annex 3 is a document entitled, "SCAPA White Paper: The Reform of the Undergraduate Program" which will be circulated for comment to Deans, Associate Deans and Department Chairs, and published in the 澳门六合彩开奖预测 News. The deadline for responses is Monday, March 13, 2000, and they should be directed to Professor J. Thorp, Chair of SCAPA, c/o University Secretariat, Room 290, Stevenson-Lawson Building.
The Vice-Provost's Advisory Committee on a Student Code of Conduct has been charged with developing a Student Code of Conduct for the University. It is envisaged that the Code will include descriptions of expected standards of behavior, types of behavior that would violate the code, sanctions for breaches of the Code, and a system to ensure fair process with appropriate appeal mechanisms.
The Committee will be inviting comments from the community with respect to what categories of behavior which should fall under the jurisdiction of a Student Code of Conduct, what type and range of sanctions should be applied to students who breach the Code, and who should be responsible for both making decisions concerning violations of the Code and for evaluating appeals against decisions about a Code violation.
The Committee comprises Brian Timney (Chair) of the Faculty of Social Science, Theresa Morrissey of the University Secretariat, Sydney Usprich of the Faculty of Law with Michael Curry of the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry as the student advisor.
In addition to a mailing to members of the Board of Governors, Senate, Deans, Director of Libraries and Chief Librarian, Senior Directors, Presidents of Unions, PMA, USC, SOGS, MBAA, the Ombudsperson and the Director of the Student Development Centre, a notice will be placed in the 澳门六合彩开奖预测 News and the Gazette soliciting views on the content of the Code. Submissions should be addressed to Professor Brian Timney, Dean's Office, Faculty of Social Science, Social Science Centre, or by e-mail at timney@julian.uwo.ca. The Committee is also prepared to hear oral submissions from interested parties.
The deadline for submissions (including oral presentations by interested parties) is Friday, January 14th, 2000. Following receipt of submissions, the Committee will issue a report and a draft policy for comment within the community and for publication in the 澳门六合彩开奖预测 News on March 2, 2000. Written comments on the draft may be submitted by Friday, March 17th. The time lines projected are for a final recommended policy to be sent to SCAPA for recommendation to Senate in April and to the Campus and Community Affairs Committee for recommendation to the Board of Governors in May.
See Annex 4.
See Annex 5.
In February 1997, the Senate approved alternative procedures for appointments, promotion and tenure in the Faculty of Health Sciences, in recognition that the Faculty structure was unique.
In approving the alternative procedures, Senate also mandated a review of them by February 2000:
That, by February 1, 2000, the Provost initiate a review of these alternative procedures to determine whether they should be established through formal amendment to Conditions of Appointment. Any amendments to Conditions of Appointment would follow the usual procedures.
In 1998, the UWO Faculty Association became certified to represent full- and part-time faculty at The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario. As a result, under the terms of the Ontario Labour Relations Act, a "freeze" exists on conditions of employment. Appointments, promotion and tenure procedures are conditions of employment, and therefore it would be inappropriate to conduct the review while a first collective agreement is being negotiated.
A Four-Year BSc Program in Human Ecology (Foods and Nutrition) will be established effective September 1, 2000.
