Update on College of Education Chair in Aboriginal Education
"In 2011, we gained approval to move forward with a search for an Enhancement Chair in our College in the area of "Aboriginal Education". Approvals were provided by the JCCP, University Council and the Board of Governors. We agreed to use a vacant position in the College for this purpose and were successful in attaining "salary differential" monies for the PCIP, on the understanding that we would continue to seek external monies to support chair over the long term. Initial conversations resulted in going forward with a joint position in Ed. Administration and Ed. Foundations, and it is the search for the joint position that is being put on hold while we work out the next steps." Dean Cecilia Reynolds and Joan Wolf, Development Officer.
