to have Douglas College enlarge its pro-
gram to a full 100 additional FTE stu-
dents during this next year.

D. Internal Matters - Labour Relations

A number of meetings have been held with
representatives of the Faculty Associa-
tion and the B.C.G.E.U. - mostly in the
sharing of budget information with them
as our Expenditure Plan for this year
has evolved. We have held a discussion
with the Faculty Association regarding
our current involvement with the Know-
ledge Network. One of the two outstand-
ing grievances with the Faculty Associa-
tion has been dropped.

I participated informally in several
meetings toward the end of the now suc
cessfully concluded negotiations with
the Douglas/Kwantlen Faculty Associa-
tion. Because of the peculiar nature of
the negotiations, their successful con-
clusion reflects very well on all part-
icipants.

E. Internal Matters - General

This last month saw a memborable fare-
well party for Kevin Hallgate, Student
Association President, and the welconr
ing of Tim Shein as the new President
of the Student Society. I had the priv
ilege of hosting the two Presidents at
lunch, in order to discuss future direc-
tions for the College, and the relation-
ship of the Student Society to the Col-
lege.

I have had a meeting with a represent-
ative of Woods Gordon Consultants Ltd.,
who are carrying out a survey of remmn-
eration of excluded personnel in order
to assist the commissioner responsible
for salary stabilization. Mr. Sawka is
assembling the necessary information re-
quested.

Because of my presence at Northwest Col-
lege, I was not present at the Douglas
College graduation ceremonies last week.
There seems to be complete agreement

that in future, the College President
must be present at graduation. Such
will be the case.

COMMUNITY SHARING: LAKESIDE PROJECT &
SIMON FRASER SOCIETY PROJECT

 

TO: BILL DAY, DEANS AND BURSAR
FROM: JIM DOERR

I have received verbal notice from the
Ministry of Education that we have been
successful in obtaining funding for the
three faculty positions in these two
projects. I have been assured that we
will receive written confirmation shortly.

As well the Ministry of Human Resources
has redefined its funding of the techni-
cian positions associated with the Simon
Fraser Society Project. This will mean
we can now provide education programs to

the whole College and not just to resi-
dents of Coquitlam/Maple Ridge.
