Senate 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ The governing body of the university with responsibility for determining all matters of an academic character affecting the university as a whole.

Purpose/Reason for Policy

The purpose of the policy is to provide for the revocation or issuance of a special statement concerning an Honorary Degree awarded to an individual whose past or current conduct, or statements, bring disrepute to the 카지노게임사이트, or call the decision to confer such an honour on the individual into question.

Scope of this Policy

The Policy is applicable to all Honorary Degrees awarded by the university from the time of their first presentation in 1858 to the present day.

Policy Statement

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트 awards Honorary Degrees to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of their discipline or field of work, to their community, to society, or to the 카지노게임사이트, on a national or international scale. While the utmost diligence has been, and will continue to be, exercised by the university when awarding an Honorary Degree, there may be rare occurrences when a recipient카지노 게임 컬렉션™s past and/or current conduct, or statements, bring disrepute to the 카지노게임사이트 and/or call the decision to confer such an honour on the individual into question.

In such instances, this policy provides for the issuance of a special statement or, in rare instances, the revocation of the honour. The issuance of a special statement serves to both acknowledge Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s place in the history of the nation, and create the opportunity for critical reflections on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s past celebration of persons in the history of Canada, and the world, whose words or deeds no longer accord with the contemporary views of Canadian society or the current values of the 카지노게임사이트.

A special statement acts as a recognition that the 카지노게임사이트 cannot undo, nor simply forget, actions in its history. It requires that the 카지노게임사이트 work to reconcile its actions, beliefs, and values of the past with its current place in the fabric of Canadian society, and to acknowledge the role that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s has played over time in shaping that fabric. It reminds us of the importance of the decisions that we make and the impacts these decisions can have on people now living, and in the future 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ impacts which often are not undone easily.

Special statements, when issued on a majority vote of the Senate, will offer a contextual view of an Honorary Degree recipient카지노 게임 컬렉션™s contributions, both from a perspective that is contemporary with the time of the award, and through the lens of the modern world. The full impact of achievements, actions, and attitudes of recipients will be thoroughly explored and examined. Finally, steps that should be taken or explored to overcome harm that may have been caused by the fact of the award should be articulated, and recommendations for how the 카지노게임사이트 can meaningfully acknowledge these harms and reconcile its past actions with its current values should be made.

Honorary Degree Revocation

Revocation of an Honorary Degree will not be considered in the case of deceased individuals. The revoking of an Honorary Degree from a deceased individual is largely a futile and self-serving measure and avoids an honest reconciliation of the 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션™s past actions and values with our current expectations and standards. Revocation will only be available for Honorary Degrees awarded to individuals still living and only where a motion to do so is supported by two-thirds of the senators who cast a vote on such a motion. Such circumstances would normally be tied to the bona fides of the case for support of the original award and could include considerations involving fraud, fabrication, or the discovery of new facts or information. Conduct occurring following the award that is inconsistent with the case for support or the values of the university may also merit revocation of the honour.

The issuance of a special statement, or a motion to revoke an Honorary Degree from a living person shall be considered by Senate on the recommendation of the Senate Honorary Degrees Committee.
