Initial budget assumptions presented
At its March 6 meeting, Senate elected journalist and diplomat Pamela Wallin as U of G's new chancellor. She will become the seventh person and the second woman to hold the post since the University was founded in 1964 (see story).
President Alastair Summerlee and John Miles, assistant vice-president (finance), presented the initial budget assumptions for the 2007/08 Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) budget. Summerlee stressed that the information is preliminary because uncertainty continues around MTCU operating grants, but U of G is currently projecting a gap of $19.7 million between expenditures and revenues (see story). The full presentation made to Senate can be found online at www.uoguelph.ca/president/pdf/MTCU_initial_0708.pdf.
In other business, Senate approved a proposal to launch an integrated bachelor of applied science (psychology) degree program to be offered through the University of Guelph-Humber, beginning this fall.
