Postgraduate Awards Selection Committee

The function of the Postgraduate Awards Selection Committee was to consider applications for postgraduate awards and to consider and report to the Board on policy matters relating to postgraduate awards.

A review of the Academic Board was carried out in 1995, with a Report of the Committee of Review, dated July 1995, submitted to Senate in October 1995. The report proposed that the board of nearly 400 members be replaced by a two-tiered structure: an Academic Forum of about the same number and an Academic Board of 61 members. The Board would be supported by 6 committees instead of 12, the new committees to be Undergraduate Studies, Graduate Studies, Teaching and Learning, Research Policy, Library and Information Technology, and Academic Staffing. The new structure came into place in 1996.
