Update 1

November 06, 2023

Dr. Christie Schultz's term as Dean, Centre for Continuing Education is scheduled to end on 30 June 2025.

University policy governing out-of-scope academic administrative appointments (EMP-010-030) calls for a review in the penultimate (4th) year of appointment, provided both parties agree to consider a second term. Here is the relevant passage from that policy:

During the penultimate year of an out-of-scope individual’s term, the Supervising Authority and the individual will meet. If the two agree that a subsequent term should be considered, the Supervising Authority will initiate the renewal process.

The Supervising Authority will establish a Reappointment Committee which is advisory to the Supervising Authority. The Supervising Authority shall ensure that the committee has appropriate representation from the University community and other appropriate stakeholders. The composition of the committee shall be made public prior to the first meeting of the committee.

The individual will be invited to prepare a summary of accomplishments during the current term, a brief statement describing (in the context of the University’s Strategic Plan) a vision for the unit over the next five years and current curriculum vitae. The vision will be publicly available and all of the documents will be available to the committee.

The deliberations of the committee are strictly confidential. The committee will seek input from those who have worked closely with the individual. Having considered the input received and having met with the individual, the committee will advise the Supervising Authority regarding reappointment.

The Supervising Authority will consider the advice of the committee and the annual performance evaluations of the individual during the time in the position, and will make a recommendation to the Appointing Authority.

As Provost, I am the Dean, Centre for Continuing Education's supervising authority. The President is the appointing authority. I have talked with Dr. Schultz and we have agreed to consider a second term based on a successful renewal consultation with the Centre for Continuing Education faculty and staff, as well as the wider University community.
