The President provided an update and overview of the Ontario universities' system-wide enrolment planning and funding expectations for the "double cohort." Slides used during his presentation are attached as Appendix 1 to these minutes.
Appendix I, distributed with the agenda also included a list of his activities during December and January.
The Property & Finance Committee report, detailed in Appendix II, contained the following items of information:
Ms. Parker referred to Appendix II, Annex 4, page 2, which shows expenditures and tuition revenue at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, by Faculty, in 1999-2000. On line 13, $32,485 is cited as the expenditure per FTE for Medicine. She asked how this number was derived, given that international government-sponsored students in the MD program pay tuition of $25,000 which is said to be full cost recovery. Dr. Davenport said that the $32,485 figure represents blended costs of students in all programs of Medicine -- MD, graduate programs, and Residents. Similarly, the tuition revenue noted in columns 4 and 5 of line 3 are blended: those figures are an average of many levels of tuition charged for MD and graduate programs.
The Board received a report on the public meeting of the Campus & Community Affairs Committee held on January 11, 2001.
