Members for Chancellor Selection, Presidential Review Committees Sought

The U of G Senate is seeking nominations for a committee to select the next University Chancellor. In addition, as is appropriate at this point in the president's term, U of G’s Board of Governors has requested that a review committee for U of G president, Alastair Summerlee, be struck.

Lincoln Alexander, who became U of G’s Chancellor in 1991 and served an unprecedented five terms, will be named Chancellor Emeritus in October. Nomination forms for membership on the selection committee are available online or at the University secretariat office, located on the fourth level of the UC.

Summerlee’s first term ends June 30, 2008. The review committee will be responsible for asking him in writing whether he wishes to seek reappointment. Should he wish to serve another term, the committee will solicit comments from the University community regarding the reappointment of the President, and make a final recommendation to the Board of Governors after review.

The Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee is seeking nominations from faculty, students, and staff. Nomination forms are available at the University Secretariat office, located on the fourth level of the UC and online.

Nominations for both committees must be received by the University Secretariat by noon on Friday, September 15, 2006.

For more information, contact Vicki Hodgkinson, University secretary, Ext. 56761, or Kate Revington, associate University secretary (acting), Ext. 56758.
