Faculty Committees

Faculty Committees

Dear Mrs. Boyd,

In regard to the question of faculty sub-committees the Board asked the Faculties for reports and these were considered at the recent meeting of the Board, when the following resolution was passed:—

"That the Students' Association be informed of the existing means whereby students can make representation on matters concerning studies—to Heads of Departments, the students' own tutors, and the Deans of the several Faculties—who are always prepared to receive representations on matters of curriculum, courses of study, time-tables and the like, whether from a group of four nominees from the Students' Association Executive or from other students."

The Board considered that it was unwise to set up formal committees which would merely increase the number of meetings that both members of the staff and students would then have to attend, whether there was any business [unclear: or] not. On the other hand, it desired to co-operate as effectively as possible with the student body or any individual student in improving the work and conditions of the work of the College. From time to time students have raised questions with Heads of Departments and I feel sure that if students use the facilities indicated in the Board's resolution, all reasonable needs will be met.

I would like to add that personally I shall always be glad to receive representations from the Executive or any group of students or any individual student.

Yours sincerely.

T. A. Hunter,

Principal.
