Resuscitator

Special hearings

In the fall of 1969, nine professors in the Department of Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology withdrew their services in response to the department being put under trusteeship by the University administration. The University appointed a trustee because of allegations of departmental mismanagement of finances. The department also did not produce a constitution and tenure committee structure that were acceptable to the University administration. Various student and faculty support strikes and protest actions followed. The President suspended nine PSA faculty members who were most actively involved in the strike and later fired seven of them.

The series comprises audio recordings of the suspension hearings held by the Board of Governors for six of those faculty members. The Board conducted the hearings to enable faculty members to appeal their suspension by the President. In each case, the Board upheld the decision by the President to suspend the faculty members. Additional legal proceedings followed the suspension hearings.

Board reports

Series comprises 33 reports to the faculty of Simon Fraser University regarding actions taken by the Board of Governors. Also includes a progress report on the University Library.

Correspondence

Series includes correspondence of Board officers including secretaries (C. J. Frederickson and R. E. Lester); and chairs (R. E. Lester, Kenneth Caple, and Paul Cote).

Policies and procedures

The Board of Governors approves all academic policies, most general policies unless they are procedures, and significant administrative policies. Series consists of policies and procedures and working files.

Agenda support papers

These files were kept by the Secretary and Assistant to the Board of Governors and contain documents that provide background information for the various agenda items. In most cases, the documents formed part of packages that were sent to Board members, selected University officials, and campus organizations prior to each Board meeting. A few documents were kept by the Board secretary for her own reference and did not circulate. After 2003, agenda support papers were filed in docket packages alongside the meeting agendas and minutes. To view support papers from 2004 onwards, see series F-33-10 Meeting dockets.

Series includes agendas, unsigned minutes, and support papers including correspondence; reports; financial statements; board committee minutes, contracts; architectural drawings; personnel records such as c.v.'s, reference letters and appointment forms; news clippings and other documents.

Donna Laws was the Board Secretary from 1968 to 1993.

Open sessions are open to all members of the University community and the public; closed sessions are restricted to Board members, the Board secretary, the Vice-Presidents' group, the director of Media and Public Relations, and anyone else who has the permission of the Board Chair to attend. Confidential sessions are restricted to Board members, the Secretary of the Board, and anyone else who has the permission of the Board Chair to attend.
