Nominations for Advisory Committee for Appointment of the Chair of the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education

Professor Ruth Childs’ term as Interim Chair of the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education will be ending on June 30, 2024. I would like to express my thanks to Professor Childs for her leadership of the department since former Chair Professor Creso Sá was appointed as Vice-Dean on January 1, 2024.

 We are now initiating the process that will lead to the appointment of a Chair for a term that will begin on July 1, 2024. In accordance with Section 12 of the Policy on Appointment of Academic Administrators, I am calling for nominations of individuals to serve on the advisory committee for the appointment of the next Chair of LHAE. The committee membership normally includes:

 The Dean as chair of the committee;

  • Three to five members of the teaching staff of the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education;
  • The Dean of the School of Graduate Studies or representative;
  • One or two members of cognate departments;
  • One or two students;
  • A Vice-Dean or Associate Dean;
  • A member of the administrative staff.

Nominations for the committee should be sent by March 20, 2024 to dean.oise@utoronto.ca. If nominating someone other than yourself, please ensure that the person has agreed to be considered.

We will announce the membership of the advisory committee in late March and the committee will begin its work soon after.
