Queen’s University Chancellor Jim Leech recently sent out an email to all staff, students, and faculty inviting everyone to complete a survey on the present state and future development of the university and of the principalship. Chancellor Leech is the chair of the Joint Board/Senate Committee to Review the Principalship that was established earlier this term when Daniel Woolf indicated he wishes to be considered for a third and final term. He will complete his current term in June 2019.

The committee wants to hear from members of the Queen’s community and the feedback it receives will help inform its discussions. The committee is planning to submit its recommendation on reappointment to the Board of Trustees in December.

The email was sent out by the University Secretariat’s Office on behalf of the chancellor on Wednesday, Oct. 25 to faculty, student, and staff Queen’s email accounts. It includes a link to the online survey where people can share their thoughts confidentially as well as a link to a webpage with information that may be helpful, including a letter from Principal Woolf. Please note that anonymous responses are not permitted.

The survey will remain open until Nov. 17, 2017 at noon and access to it is only from the email invitation.

If you do not wish to complete the survey or you did not receive the email invitation, you can visit the Joint Board-Senate Committee to Review the Principalship webpage to find out more about how to contribute your feedback. You may also email univsec@queensu.ca with any questions you may have.
