Senate Agenda - EXHIBIT IV - October 15, 1999
FOR INFORMATION
On July 5, 1999, on behalf of the Senate, SCUP approved the establishment of The Salamander Chair in Environmental Engineering with terms of reference summarized below, based on a gift of $750,000 from The Salamander Foundation. The Board of Governors approved the Chair at its meeting on September 23, and the public announcement of its establishment was made on September 29.
Subject to progress in fund raising, the position will be advertised in the fall of 1999 with the objective of filling the position effective July 1, 2000.
The appointee will hold a full-time joint appointment in the Departments of Chemical & Biochemical Engineering and Civil & Environmental Engineering, while initial appointment to the Chair will be five years. The nature of the appointment will depend on the recommendation of the selection committee. If the committee recommends a new appointment for a limited term, the appointment may be made only at the level of Associate Professor. If, however, the selection committee recommends a probationary appointment at the Associate Professor level or appointment at the full Professor level, this will involve a long-term financial commitment, either through endowment of the Chair and/or a commitment of funds from the operating budget of the Faculty of Engineering Science.
The Salamander Foundation was founded in 1997 by Mrs. Nan Shuttleworth as one of the successor foundations to the former Richard & Jean Ivey Fund. The Foundation has dedicated its work to environmental, educational, and artistic interests. Mrs. Shuttleworth, Director of The Salamander Foundation and an alumna of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 (BA, '65), is the daughter of Lorraine Shuttleworth and a granddaughter of Richard and Jean Ivey. The Salamander Chair in Environmental Engineering is the Foundation's first gift to The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario.
On behalf of the Senate, in July 1999 SCUP approved establishment of the Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine, based on a $2 million gift for endowment from Associated Medical Services, Incorporated. This Chair was formerly the Jason A. Hannah Chair for the History of Medical and Related Sciences which was established as a five year term chair in 1973.
Under the terms of the agreement, the current Hannah Chair, Professor Paul Potter, will be the first incumbent of the endowed Chair. The role of the Chair will be to contribute significantly through teaching and research to the body of scholarship on the history of medicine with specific focus on teaching undergraduates medical students on the history of medicine.
All appointments to the Chair will be conducted in accordance with the relevant policies of the University. Incumbents of the Chair will have recognized graduate preparation in the discipline of the history of medicine.
AMS has provided support for this Chair since its establishment and this change in the type of funding indicates AMS' overall dedication to the program.
Other AMS gifts to 澳门六合彩开奖预测 include funding during the Second Century Campaign for the purchase of a Digital Angiography Machine, and a gift during the Renaissance Campaign to establish the Kathleen Gordon Hannah Education Bursary Fund.
Associated Medical Services operates as a charitable organization and most of its resources are devoted to programs administered through the Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine. The Institute is named in honor of founder Jason A. Hannah, who established one of Ontario's first medical insurance plans in the 1930's. Following the establishment of OHIP, proceeds from Hannah's private insurance plan were used to fund teaching and research in Ontario medical schools.
Five other Canadian universities are also home to Hannah Chairs: the University of Toronto, Queen's, the University of Ottawa and McMaster.
The Board of Governors approved the establishment of the endowed Chair on September 23, 1999, and the public announcement was made on September 27, 1999.
SCUP has authorized the submission to the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies (OCGS) of a proposal for a full cost recovery, course-based, part-time M.Eng. Program in Design and Manufacturing to be offered jointly by the University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo and McMaster University.
The proposed program was approved by the Internal Appraisals Committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies in May 1999 and by GPPC in September 1999. In the event the program is approved by OCGS, a proposal to establish and initiate the program will be recommended to SCUP and Senate.
澳门六合彩开奖预测 already offers a full cost recovery course-based part-time M.Eng. program that includes a specialisation in Design and Manufacturing. The proposed program is very similar, except that it is a joint initiative of the Faculties of Engineering at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, Toronto, Waterloo and McMaster, and it focusses exclusively on design and manufacturing. Courses would be offered by all four universities. Students would be registered at the university of their choice, but could take courses at any of the universities. Their degree would come from the institution at which they are registered.
The program objectives are to prepare employed design and manufacturing engineers so that they are equipped to deal with today's confusing array of competing design and manufacturing technologies.
To be eligible for admission students must have completed a four year baccalaureate degree in Mechanical Engineering with grades to a mid-B or better, and should normally have had three years or more post-baccalaureate working experience in industry, or the equivalent.
No additional faculty resources would be needed for the program.
The anticipated enrolment in the program is 150 in the first year, increasing to 300 in year three.
See Appendix 1 (shown below) which was reported to SCUP for information.
SCUP has approved on behalf of Senate the terms of reference for new scholarships, bursaries, prizes and awards shown below. These will be recommended to the Board of Governors, through the Vice-Chancellor, for approval.

Awarded annually to graduate students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents enrolled
