How did Council start?
(This may seem unrelated, but I promise we카지노 게임 컬렉션™ll get to 카지노게임사이트 Council if you stick with it!)
In the late 1860s, a number of Presbyterian and Free churches in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes chose to unite. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Principal at the time, Rev. William Snodgrass, played an important role in advising the Ontario body given that Scottish churches were significant benefactors of the university as it educated young men in divinity.
Some stakeholders felt that there was no role for the church to play in secular education and that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s should amalgamate with the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto and shutter the Kingston campus. Some proposed that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, which was providing an education in the arts and sciences as well as divinity, be restricted to only offering religious instruction.
After four years of work, it was agreed that the united Presbyterian Church in Canada would provide a grant to assist in funding theological education at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, but that its involvement in secular education be limited.
(If you카지노 게임 컬렉션™ve stuck with it, this is the moment you카지노 게임 컬렉션™ve been waiting for카지노 게임 컬렉션¦)
카지노게임사이트 Council was created near the end of this work, in 1874, likely in reaction to the lessened influence of the Church and the growing influence of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s graduates, given that the university had now existed for over 30 years and a good number of alumni had Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s interests at heart. There was a desire to bring together a group of people with strong connections to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s who could encourage donations and help the university find its way in this new chapter of its existence.
What did Council first look like?
From the beginning, it was recognized that Council would have little direct power but would provide alumni with a way to express their recommendations to university leaders on matters of policy, and who could promote the interests of the university, in the absence of an alumni association, a form of which wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션™t created until 1927.
Indeed, the first power included in Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s first terms of reference gave it the ability to register all alumni in a central location for the purposes of enabling voting to appoint a Chancellor.
Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s remaining powers included:
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Discuss matters related to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and declaring Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s opinions;
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Make representations to the Board of Trustees or Senate;
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Decide the terms of affiliation of any college or school with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, as proposed by the Board; and
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Meet in convocation for the public conferring of degrees and other honours awarded by the Senate, and the installation of the Chancellor and Principal.
Council originally included all Board of Trustees members, all Senators, and a number of alumni in an amount equal to the number of Trustees and Senators added together.
In 1912, the power to elect a rector was added to Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s by-laws.
Council continued to meet throughout the 20th century to discuss matters related to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s. An annual meeting agenda from 1946 details discussion topics focused on the advisability of a degree course in physical education, the place of the humanities in universities that have professional schools, and the extension of clinical teaching in the Faculty of Medicine.
What is Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s role today?
Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s role in the 21st century continues to be largely ambassadorial and advisory. Its composition was changed in 2011 and now includes:
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Chancellor and Principal
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Alumni x 40
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Senator x 1
카지노 게임 컬렉션¢ Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Alumni Association President
Council meets once a year at an Annual General Meeting. Its formal business includes the appointment of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Chancellor, the electing of six Councillors to the Board of Trustees, and the awarding of the university카지노 게임 컬렉션™s annual Distinguished Service Awards.
Council has oversight of the election of a Rector but has delegated this role to the Alma Mater Society and Society of Professional and Graduate Students. Council also has oversight of the place and time of Convocation but has delegated this role to the Senate.
What do Councillors do?
Today, 카지노게임사이트 Councillors are ambassadors who engage in the promotion of the interests of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and represent alumni as advisors to the university by bringing alumni perspectives to Council카지노 게임 컬렉션™s AGM.
