[UMA-SRE-20000180] Minutes of the Faculty of Arts Assembly

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20000180Extent2 volumesLinear Meterage0.1Scope and ContentThe first meeting of the Assembly was held on the 8th of December 1965. The Assembly met each December to:
-Prepare a nomination for the office of Dean for presentation to the Faculty
-Prepare nominations for membership of standing committees for presentation to Faculty and,
-Receive the Dean's Report.
A meeting of the Assembly could also be called by the Dean to consider proposals for the awarding of honorary degrees. Members of the Assembly were to receive copies of the minutes of Faculty meetings. This was the product of a "new-style" faculty constituted after discussions took place in 1964. There was no formal change, but rather an extension of the Faculty membership to include ex-officio members, representatives of other faculties, co-opted members and departmental staff. This was instituted by the Dean at the time, to ensure a regular attendance at all meetings by members. In 1970,a draft statute to formally establish a Faculty Assembly had been approved by the Faculty and the Assembly and forwarded to Council for approval. For reasons unspecified, the approval had not been obtained and was resubmitted after four years in 1975. Despite efforts to enact the legislation, it appears the Assembly was disassembled and held its last meeting on the 12th of April, 1976.
