Dean's Report for Faculty Council

December 11, 2013

1.
Research and Innovation Week.  You should all have received an email this week inviting you to participate in the faculty research day.  SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR have all been combined into one day.  There is also a day being dedicated to undergraduate research.

2.
Hiring.  I want to thank you all for the requests you submitted, which were detailed and persuasive.  I think we have made a very strong case for positions.  First round of decisions about hiring will be made in December.
3.
AODA Training.   Chairs and Director need to ensure that all faculty and staff complete this training by December 15, 2013.  You need to provide Ursula MacDonald copies of the certificates by that date.  Chairs and Director need to provide me with a copy of their certificates.

4.
The Office of External Relations will be consulting with deans to determine faculty-based funding projects as the University is in the early days of planning for a future capital campaign. While there is a great deal of work still to be done before a campaign can be launched, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities has been approached to provide potential campaign projects and priorities.  These could be bursaries, scholarships, funds for student exchanges, durable items.  Requests for new buildings will not be considered.  I will be asking chairs to provide me with a list of funding priorities in the new year.

5.
I am planning for a chairs' retreat, probably during Reading Week.  The Office of External Relations needs to have, in addition to our funding priorities, a brief overview of who we are as a Faculty--they would like a vision and mission statement.  One of our tasks, then, at this retreat will be to develop these statements.  

6.
Lecture Series in the winter term.  Dean and I will be looking for people interested in giving a talk at one of the public libraries.  This is a great way to share our work with the public, and provides an opportunity for knowledge mobilization.  Rob Robson recently gave a talk, and I would like to see us doing this on a regular basis.  Dean will be in touch in January to solicit volunteers.

7.
I attended the annual SSHRC Leaders meeting last week.  There was much discussion about the new program architecture.  Leaders noted that there were fewer people getting grants, because the grants were larger (can now get a grant for a five-year period).  Also noted the difficulties for international and community partners in completing applications.  The issue of 4A status was also addressed--more people getting this every year, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for universities to know how to manage

Dean's Report for Faculty Council

Dean's Report February 26, 2014
1.    Had a very productive chairs' retreat last week, focusing on recruitment and on Faculty-based philanthropy.  We made some great progress towards defining who we are as a Faculty right now, what our values are and what our vision is.  Dean is working on summarizing the work we did, and we will be circulating that to chairs once it is done, and will be talking about next steps.

2.    Acting Dean.  Post has now gone out with regard to appointing an Acting Dean while I am on leave next year.  Deadline for applications is March 17th.  

3.    Hiring--there were 5 vacancies in our Faculty this year, and we received replacements in the form of 9-month term appointments for three of those.  Strategic hiring decisions have not yet been made.

4.    Joseph Boyden is going to be speaking as part of Research and Innovation Week next Wednesday.  Please encourage colleagues and students to come to that.  I'll be forwarding a digital poster very shortly that you can distribute.

5.    There is going to be another call for proposals to the Strategic Initiative Fund.  This time they will be around theme areas--possibly distance education and telepresence.  Other kinds of proposals will still be entertained.   

6.    Recent CBC news report on plagiarism at universities--suggests that are not being vigilant enough in dealing with it.  I think we are doing a fairly good job in our Faculty, but I would remind you as we come to the end of the year to be sure to let me know if you are handling a case informally, and to be sure to make a formal report of any serious cases that should be handled under the policy.

7.    Update on speakers series and undergraduate research day from Assistant Dean.
