This section includes a brief statement of the recommendations made to and accepted by RAQ Council. The body of the report includes a digest of the evidence considered by the Planning Group in formulating the recommendations.
Some of the principal factors influencing our recommendations were: the change in RAQ membership from predominantly male academic staff members to an increasing proportion of non-academic staff members, primarily female; the substantial number of RAQ members who live sufficiently far from Kingston to preclude their participation in Kingston-based activities; the need to support activities important to the membership.
