Council meeting

Summary – June 2006

At its June 8th meeting College Council:

• created an ad hoc committee of five members (three elected, two appointed) to review the role, time commitment and compensation package of the full-time chair and report back to Council in September
• appointed Andrew Kane as chair of the Finance Committee
• changed College bylaws to ensure that “the College shall distribute an official publication of the Council to members in good standing at least four (4) times a year”
• amended College bylaws to update the Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession and the Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession
• approved bylaw changes to slightly reduce some College fees to reflect the change in the federal GST on July 1, 2006 – the annual fee is not affected because it is not subject to GST.
