Update 1

8 January 2018

Professor Rae Staseson's current term as Dean of the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance concludes on 30 June 2019.

Per University policy on out-of-scope academic administrative appointments (available at http://www.uregina.ca/policy/browse-policy/policy-EMP-010-030.html), Dean Staseson and I have had a conversation about the possibility of a second term as Dean. She has agreed to consider this possibility, and I am therefore initiating the consultative process.

A rough timeline for that process follows. If required, it will be modified according to the needs of the Faculty, and the availability of people involved in the review process:

Dean Staseson has been asked to prepare a statement of her vision for the Faculty over the next five years, together with a statement of accomplishments during the first term. Both will be made public as noted above.

One of the first tasks in the process is to strike a Reappointment Committee. The Committee will be structured as follows:

I will chair the Reappointment Committee, which will be supported in its work by Kristina Untereiner in my office and Nancy Kazeil of Human Resources. The goal is to have the Reappointment Committee membership in place by the end of January.

I would therefore ask MAP academic staff members, APT staff, CUPE staff, and students respectively to determine – by election within departments, appointment, or other means acceptable to you – who will serve on the Reappointment Committee in each of the categories above.

Those intending to serve on the Committee are asked to ensure their availability on Thursday 8 March and Friday 9 March for meetings of the Committee. A precise schedule will be confirmed when the Committee membership is fully in place.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Thomas Chase
Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
