Re: Call for Nominations — Advisory Committee for the Dean, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work (PDAD&C #30)

On August 6, 2021, the Agenda Committee of Academic Board approved the appointment of Professor Charmaine Williams as Interim Dean of the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work for a one-year term, beginning January 1, 2022 or until the appointment of a new Dean, whichever comes earlier.

In accordance with Section 60 of the Policy on Appointment of Academic Administrators, I am writing to call for the nominations of individuals to serve on the Committee that will advise on the appointment of a Dean. The Policy mandates the composition of the Advisory Committee as follows:

• The Vice-President and Provost (Chair);
• Three to five members of the teaching staff of the Faculty;
• One to three students of the Faculty;
• The Dean of the School of Graduate Studies or representative;
• A librarian, where appropriate;
• Two or three other qualified scholars from within or outside this University, but outside of the Faculty;
• In addition, the Committee may include an alumnus/a, a member of the administrative staff, and a senior member of the appropriate professional community.

The Advisory Committee will begin meeting in the coming months. Nominations for the Committee should be submitted to the Office of the Vice-President & Provost by April 14, 2022, via the online form.
