1. Outstanding Business
1. A committee focused on the transition to recovery, including the fall reopening of classes, is
meeting every 2 weeks remotely. A Covid transition committee has been created to provide
guidance regarding all matters pertaining to Covid and the University. Cindy read a list of
concerns. The recovery plan will differ per department. At this time, concerns should be directed to
the Chair/Supervisor, who transfers concerns to the Dean/Supervisor who communicates to the VP
or equivalent. Lakehead will make an announcement by June 1st on fall course status. Mail delivery
status in September to be determined.

transition to recovery.
