Re: Now Available – 2020-21 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).

For the 2020-21 academic year, PDAD&C meetings will occur on the following dates below, from 10:10am to 12:00pm. As the COVID-19 situation evolves, more information will be shared about the format these meetings will take. 

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 all PDAD&C members are encouraged to attend these meetings. Others will only be permitted if PDAD&C members 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.

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.
