Committees

This is the first year where all of the faculty committees, their descriptions, as well as your student representatives on these committees have been made easily accessible by everyone. These committees are populated by a mix of students in the English Common Law and French Common Law programs who are in their first, second and third years. Some of these students are on the AEECLSS Executive, some are your voted AEECLSS Academic Representatives, and others are students at large.

If you have any concerns or opinions regarding any of the committees, please contact one of the designated student representatives, or the VP Academic.

Thank you!

The Hiring Committee

The Hiring Committee operates in strict confidence. Members consult with colleagues at several stages of the process; develop the criteria and priorities for faculty hiring; study the applications and produce a list of applicants to be interviewed; participate actively in the candidate visits; solicit feedback from members of the community; and work to develop a consensus as to whom positions ought to be offered. Student members are asked to develop ways to involve members of the student bodies in the process including encouraging their attendance at the “job talk” and soliciting student opinion about the candidate.
