Vice-Chancellor Writes to Teachers on Faculty Deanship |
 |
|
|
The issue of Faculty Deanship has been much discussed lately on campus and is our common concern. At a meeting of the University Senate held on 13 December, members voted by a large majority in support of the change to a system of appointed Faculty Deanship that is predicated on a proper, transparent, and open search process involving significant input from the teachers of the Faculty concerned. The topic was discussed thoroughly by the University Council at its meeting on 30 January. The Council proposed that the Vice-Chancellor consult, along this broad direction, teachers of the University on the detailed arrangements, in order to formulate specific proposals for further consideration by the Council. The Vice-Chancellor has written to the teachers of all academic departments to report on the Council's discussion and to solicit their views on the implementation arrangements, with the aim of arriving at a set of arrangements for the effective implementation of the new system which is conducive to the pursuit of excellence in teaching and research, and to the continuous advancement of the University.
