  1. Chair’s Remarks

    The Chair welcomed members and guests to the final meeting of the 2021-22 governance year. 

     
  1. Report of the President

    President Gertler opened his remarks by welcoming Ms Andrea Caceres, a 4th-year student pursuing a double major in Human Geography & Diaspora and Transnational Studies. Ms Caceres presented on her experience as an international student at the University of Toronto and her participation in different leadership and research programs at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy. She shared her experiences as the co-founder and Executive Director of an NGO building sustainable and innovative solutions to reduce water scarcity worldwide, the development of her identity as a Latina, and how she had learned to transform her academic knowledge into actionable impact and advocate for communities in Mexico and Peru.  

    Convocation 
    The President noted how wonderful it was to have resumed in-person Convocation ceremonies this year. He noted that in addition to celebrating some 15,300 graduates, nine honorary degrees had been conferred on a diverse group of exceptional individuals. He acknowledged the work of the Office of the President and the Office of Convocation and offered his gratitude to the Chancellor, Dr. Rose M. Patten, for conferring degrees upon thousands of students this year, and celebrating along with them.

    Provincial Updates 
    The President commented on the re-election of the Ford Government on June 2nd and the appointment of the new cabinet on June 24th. He noted that the general theme was one of stability, with most ministers retaining their pre-election portfolios. He also noted that Premier Ford had confirmed that the budget tabled before the election would be re-introduced for passage by the Legislature this summer. President Gertler reported that the University would continue to work with the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) to advance the higher education sector’s advocacy priorities for the coming year, focusing on financial sustainability, affordability, and support for key research and education priorities. 

    Presidential Advisory Committee on Principles to Guide Recognition and Commemoration 
    The President reported that a new Advisory Committee on recognition and commemoration had been established. Universities across Canada and around the world had been facing complex and often controversial issues related to historic legacies.  The Committee would develop a set of high-level principles to guide decision-makers regarding any potential de/re-namings, or recommendations to rescind honorary degrees. He noted that University Professor and past Provost, Cheryl Misak, of the Department of Philosophy, would chair the Committee, with its recommendations expected in early 2023. 

    President Zelenskyy Event
    President Gertler concluded his remarks by commenting on an event held on June 22nd that had been organized by the Office of the President and the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had addressed a crowd of 250 students assembled in the Innis Town Hall who were joined virtually by students from 11 other universities across Canada. After President Zelenskyy spoke, he then engaged in a question-and-answer session with the students. President Gertler reported that the national and global media attention garnered by this special event had been remarkable.

     
  2. Strategic Presentation: The University of Toronto International Strategic Plan 2022-2027 – Professor Joseph Wong, Vice-President, International

    Professor Joseph Wong, Vice-President International, presented on the University’s International Strategic Plan for 2022-27. He noted that the plan would be an evolution of the successful first International Strategic Plan (2017-22), building on its strengths, while capitalizing on new opportunities, and leveraging the learnings gathered over the past five years. Professor Wong provided a high-level summary of the three pillars of the new plan: global learning, global reach, and global impact. The key objective of global learning was to continue facilitating global learning experiences for all students both while studying in the GTA as well as abroad. The key objective of global reach was to ensure that the University continues to develop a set of partnerships globally including with institutions in the global south. Global impact’s objective was to continue to amplify and support the University’s positive impact globally. He noted that the plan was built on a set of core principles, and was created in a changing global context in a post-COVID world.
    In the discussion that followed, members raised questions about the following: 

    In response, Professor Wong advised the following:

    • collaborative partnerships with the federal government to broaden the reach of connections with international partners in order to include countries from less developed areas of the world;
    • addressing possible barriers to increasing study abroad opportunities;
    • additional information about global classrooms;
    • other opportunities in addition to global classrooms; and
    • the assessment process for selecting international corporations for partnerships.
    • The University was working with the government to establish global partnerships, particularly regarding global mobility projects and had been successful in all three funding proposals submitted to date. The Federal international education strategy was aimed at attracting more students from diverse areas of the world and identifying new areas for students to experience learning collaborations.

    • The development and implementation of the global classroom at U of T had been accelerated during the pandemic, using remote technologies to connect classrooms and facilitating collaborations between faculty from different institutions. 

    • In addition to study abroad programs, the University was working closely with the divisions to build programs aligned with academic programs and facilitated participation in these programs, as well as exploring research and short-term working opportunities.

    • Knowledge about programs was one of the barriers which the University had been working to address by ensuring that students were aware of these opportunities from their first year.

    • To address financial barriers, several years ago the University had tripled the amount of funding dedicated to needs-based bursaries. 

    • While the University was continuing to look to diversify its global partnerships, it was mindful of research security and is working with principal investigators to identify and develop strategies to address potential risks.

    • In partnership with the divisions, the University was working to make it easier for partners who were interested in doing industry-sponsored research to navigate the available opportunities.

       

  3. UTM Strategic Framework

    Professor Alexandra Gillespie, Vice-President & Principal, University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), provided a brief presentation on the UTM Strategic Framework. The Framework identified the following five priorities: Fostering Student Success; Empowering Research Discovery and Impact; Embracing Our Place; Building Efficient and Sustainable Operations; and Encouraging Collaboration and Belonging. These priorities revolved around the central values of truth, openness, and reciprocity, which signified the UTM’s overarching commitment to honesty, transparency, and the development and strengthening of reciprocal relationships, including with Indigenous community. Professor Gillespie expressed her hope that the Framework would serve students, faculty, staff, librarians, alumni, and partners well.

    The Chair of the UTM Campus Council, Ms Samra Zafar, reported that the presentation of the Framework to the Campus Council had been well received and members had had no questions.

    Governors had no questions and expressed support for the Framework.

     

  4. Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended April 30, 2022

    Ms Anna Kennedy, Chair of the Business Board, provided an overview of the discussion of the item at the meeting of that body on June 21, 2022. 

    There were no questions or comments from governors on the Audited Financial Statements.

    On a motion duly made, seconded, and carried

    IT WAS RESOLVED

    THAT the University of Toronto audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022, be approved.  

     

  5. External Auditors: Appointment for 2022-2023

    Ms Kennedy provided an overview of the discussion of the item at the Business Board meeting.

    There were no questions or comments from governors on the appointment of the external auditors for 2022-23.

    On a motion duly made, seconded, and carried

    IT WAS RESOLVED

    THAT Ernst & Young LLP be re-appointed as external auditors of the University of Toronto for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2023. 

    The Chair commended everyone involved with preparing the annual financial statements. He also recognized, on behalf of the Governing Council, the exceptional service and guidance that Dr. Pierre Piché, Controller and Director of Financial Services, had provided to the Audit Committee, Business Board, and Governing Council. The Chair noted that Dr. Piché would be stepping down from the position of Controller and Director effective July 15, 2022 and would serve in the role of Special Advisor to the Chief Financial Officer until his retirement in August 2023.   

     

  6. Review of the Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment

    The Council received a brief presentation by the co-Chairs of the Committee to review the Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment, Professor Linda Johnston, (Dean, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing), and Dr. Allison Burgess, (Director, Sexual & Gender Diversity Office). They provided a brief overview of the 12 recommendations of the review committee. They noted that extensive consultations had been held with all stakeholder groups and expressed their hope that the community felt heard and would hear their voices reflected in the resulting recommendations.

    The Chairs of the UTM Campus Council, UTSC Campus Council, Academic Board, and University Affairs Board provided a summary of the discussion of the item at their meetings. 

    In the discussion that followed, a governor commented on the ongoing need to listen to student voices with kindness in order to rebuild trust in the University’s supports. The presenters confirmed that this would be the case and that the University was working with student unions and leaders on a guide in addition to developing focused education on healthy relationships.

    In response to a governor’s request for clarification on the lack of consensus regarding a ban on relationships between faculty and students, the presenters advised that during consultations, when the practicalities of a full ban were explored, it became apparent that in such a large and complex institution as the University, determining boundary lines and regulating relationships would prove very complicated and there had thus been no consensus on an outright ban.

    In response to a governor’s question about what form annual reporting and accountability would take, the presenters advised that information was included in the full slide deck that had been included as part of the agenda package. 

    CONSENT AGENDA 

    The Chair noted that no requests had been made to remove any items from the Consent Agenda.

    On a motion duly made, seconded, and carried

    Harvey Botting 
    Harvey was first elected by the College of Electors in 2013 and has served nine years as an alumni governor. Harvey has very generously given of his time to governance – having served on almost every governance body at the University of Toronto – the Academic Board, the Business Board, the University Affairs Board, both the UTM and the UTSC Campus Councils, the Pension Committee, the Planning & Budget Committee, the Committee for Honorary Degrees, and the Executive Committee. Harvey also served on the last three Committees to Review the Office of the University Ombudsperson – including serving as Chair of the 2017 Committee. A deeply engaged member, Harvey could always be relied upon to bring an alumni perspective to deliberations on a wide range of matters before governance, with a particular passion for matters related to student life, funding, and the University’s international reputation. Harvey has also generously given of his time and wisdom, mentoring a number of alumni governors over the course of his tenure on the Governing Council. Harvey, we are grateful for your outstanding service and for your dedication to the University, and we hope that your family’s tradition of being UofT graduates continues long into the future!

Best wishes with your ongoing studies in OISE’s Educational Leadership and Policy program.  

    Sal Spadafora 
    Professor Sal Spadafora was first elected as a teaching staff governor in 2013 and was re-elected twice, which brings him to the maximum of nine consecutive years of service. Over the course of his tenure as a governor, Sal has served on the Academic Board, the University Affairs Board, the Elections Committee, and the Executive Committee, as well as on a number of Advisory Committees. In 2021, he was appointed Chair of the Academic Board, which also meant he sat on the Committee for Honorary Degrees and the Ceremonials Committee.  Sal has been a calm and thoughtful voice in this important leadership role, with a focus on creating a safe and welcoming forum where participants could express themselves and be heard.

Her time as Chair of the UTM Campus Council coincided with the pandemic and the transition to virtual meetings, however, she managed the remote environment with grace and aplomb. Samra, thank you very much for bringing your love of UTM and for the University as a whole in service of University governance. We wish you all the best as you pursue your medical degree at McMaster University. 

    The Chair went on to acknowledge the impending retirement of a member of the Secretariat, Mr. Patrick McNeill, after a nearly 40-year career in a number of public sector institutions – most recently Queen’s University and then U of T.  He noted that Mr. McNeill had been an exemplary Assistant Secretary, bringing a calm demeanor and providing wise counsel and outstanding support. 

    At the invitation of the Chair, President Gertler, on behalf of the University, expressed his sincere gratitude to the retiring governors for their dedicated service to the University. He noted that they were remarkable volunteers who supported the University by being a valuable source of insight and oversight.

    The President concluded his remarks by acknowledging that this was the Chair’s final meeting as Chair and governor. He expressed his gratitude for Mr. Lawson’s exemplary contributions to the University, upholding the integrity of the governance process and reinforcing confidence in that process during challenging circumstances. He noted the Chair’s calm professionalism and graciousness to guests, especially when they were raising uncomfortable topics. The President informed members that, in recognition of the Chair’s exceptional and longstanding service, the University was establishing the Brian Lawson Nutrition Award to be awarded to a medical student with a demonstrated interest in nutrition and a strong desire to incorporate nutrition for disease prevention and management into clinical practice.

    The Chair expressed his gratitude for the President’s generous words and said that it had been a privilege to serve the council as Chair. Mr. Lawson noted that his one regret was that, due to the necessity of holding meetings virtually, he had not had the chance to get to know governors as well as he would have liked to have done. He said that he had learned much and continued to be impressed that such a diverse group was able to work so constructively to make decisions that were in the best interests of the University as a whole. He expressed his confidence in the University’s continued capacity to play a leadership role in important ways that were thoughtful and respectful.
