Re: Call for Nominations – Advisory Committee for the Vice-Principal, Research & Innovation, University of Toronto Scarborough (PDAD&C #20)

On June 30, 2021, Professor Bernie Kraatz, will complete his term as Vice-Principal, Research & Innovation, University of Toronto Scarborough. Professor Kraatz has decided not to seek re-appointment for a second term.

According to Section 83 of the Policy on Appointment of Academic Administrators, there is no requirement to issue a call for nominations to serve on the advisory committee. However, in keeping with the principles of participatory decision making and shared accountability established under the UTSC Strategic Plan, Inspiring Inclusive Excellence, we are issuing a call for nominations to serve on the Committee that will advise on the appointment of a new Vice-Principal, Research & Innovation, University of Toronto Scarborough.

The composition of the Advisory Committee will include:

• The Vice-President & Principal, UTSC (chair);
• The Vice-President, Research and Innovation, and Strategic Initiatives, U of T;
• At least three Chairs from the division;
• Five to eight persons, drawn from teaching staff, students and administrative staff of the division, teaching staff from outside the division and members of the wider community including alumni, each group not necessarily being represented.

The Advisory Committee will begin meeting in the coming months. Nominations for the Advisory Committee should be submitted to the Office of the Vice-President & Principal, UTSC, by Friday, November 6, 2020, via the online form.
