Request for Tutors for 201430 and 201510 Terms

I continue in my volunteer role as Academic Advisor for the University of Regina Rams Football Team. I conduct a Study Hall for these student- athletes every Monday afternoon in the fall semester and Monday morning in the winter semester.

We are very proud of the academic performance of our student-athletes. Their academic success is in part due to the efforts of the instructional staff at our University. However, a significant contribution is also being made by the tutors (primarily graduate students) who assist the student-athletes who experience some academic difficulties. These difficulties are primarily in 100 and 200 level courses.

We are looking for tutors from your Faculty/Department who are available for the 2014-2015 academic year at don.clark@uregina.ca . The Rams provide a fee of $20.00 per hour to the tutors.

The Rams Coaching Staff and Board of Directors are committed to the pursuit of academic excellence by these student-athletes and appreciate your support.

Dr. Don Clark
U of R Rams Academic Advisor

Dear colleagues in the Faculty of Education,

Thank you for meeting with me earlier this afternoon to discuss the upcoming national search for a Dean of Education. My sense of the Faculty’s thinking is as follows:

Timing: Launch national search as soon as practicable

External consultant: not needed

Search Advisory Committee (SAC): similar or identical structure to last year’s 10-person SAC: 3 elected faculty members from the Faculty of Education; 1 undergraduate Education student; and 1 graduate Education student; 1 APT or CUPE member from the Faculty; 1 appointed member of Deans’ Council; 1 external representative from the profession; 1 support person from HR; and myself as Chair. The election of faculty members would be carried out via the Dean’s Office as soon as possible; APT and CUPE staff would decide whom they wish to nominate; the student organizations would do the same; I will appoint a member of Deans’ Council; and I will approach an external representative nominated by the Faculty. I would like to have the SAC in place no later than the end of September. Responsibility and support for the search process will be in the Provost’s Office. The search will be governed by the provisions of University policy at http://www.uregina.ca/policy/browse-policy/policy-EMP-010-030.html .

Position profile: Faculty members to review the profile (attached) and provide suggestions to SAC about changes, if needed. SAC will redraft and provide final version to Faculty for information and any final input.

Please let me know if you have concerns or questions about any of these points. I look forward to working with you, and with a new SAC, to seek out and hire the best possible Dean for the Faculty of Education.

Sincerely,

Tom
