FOR INFORMATION
The Alumni Association has announced the reappointment of Sally Siegner to Senate as a representative of the Alumni Association for a term from November 1, 2001, to October 31, 2003.
The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario Act provides, in Section 26:
| Meetings | 26.(3) Where within any membership year a member of the Senate, other than an ex officio member, not having been granted leave of absence by the Senate attends less than 50 per cent of the regular meetings of the Senate, the Senate may by resolution declare such membership vacant. |
| Idem | (4) Where within any membership year a member of the Senate, other than an ex officio member, not having been granted leave of absence by the Senate attends less than 25 per cent of the regular meetings of the Senate, the Senate shall by resolution declare such membership vacant. |
Senate attendance is reviewed by the Operations/Agenda Committee from time to time, and the Committee is prepared to recommend to Senate that a Senate seat be declared vacant should a pattern of absenteeism develop. Senators who find they have a schedule conflict with Senate meetings may apply for a Leave of Absence from Senate for the Period of conflict. In this case, an Alternate will be appointed in accordance with the Senate policy for filling vacancies. If the conflict is unresolvable, resignation from Senate would be appropriate in order that the constituency concerned be represented by a duly appointed replacement.
