Re: Now Available – 2019-20 PDAD&C Meeting Dates and Information (PDAD&C #1)

Please save this message for future reference and share with your administrative staff responsible for scheduling.

Welcome to all new and returning Principals, Deans, Academic Directors, and Chairs. As you may be aware, all Academic Administrators who have been appointed under the Policy on Appointment of Academic Administrators are members of a standing committee called Principals, Deans, Academic Directors, and Chairs (PDAD&C).

As PDAD&C members, you will automatically receive the Provost’s Digest each Friday, which is a weekly summary of all new memos posted on the Communications for Academic Administrators Website. Assistants to PDAD&C members, as well as other administrative staff, faculty, and librarians are welcome to request subscription by submitting the online form.

All content in the Provost’s Weekly Digest is public information and PDAD&C members play an important role in ensuring that this information reaches the relevant groups in their respective units. We appreciate you working with us to improve communication and information sharing, with faculty, staff, and students by keeping up to date on PDAD&C memos.

For the 2019-20 academic year, PDAD&C meetings will occur on the following dates below, from 10:10am to 12:00pm. Please note that PDAD&C meetings will convene on St. George Campus, with videoconferencing available for members at UTM and UTSC as detailed below. The agendas will be sent directly to all PDAD&C members in advance of each meeting. Administrative staff in need of the agenda must contact their PDAD&C member.

Please note that only PDAD&C members and designated senior administrators are permitted to attend these meetings. PDAD&C members may request for permission to assign a designate to attend a particular meeting on their behalf by emailing provost@utoronto.ca at least one week prior to the meeting.

If you require any special assistance in gaining access to the Governing Council Chamber, please contact Assistant Provost Archana Sridhar at archana.sridhar@utoronto.ca so that appropriate arrangements can be made in advance.

The first meeting of PDAD&C on October 10 and will be followed by a luncheon hosted by Faculty Club. Please RSVP to provost@utoronto.ca to confirm your attendance.
