ACADEMIC COUNCIL
Articulation Committees and Registration Fees

The Academic Council is opposed to registration fees for
articulation meetings. Such fees may - or may not - be
deemed appropriate by the participants, and their institu-
tions, for professional development programs held in
association with articulation meetings.

The Academic Council must make this distinction because it

is specifically required by the legislation [Sec. 47 (1) (b)]
to establish articulation committees. The matter of pro-
fessional development is not so identified as a responsibility
of this Council.

 

Professional development is an institutional responsibility
and in the majority of institutions one of the terms of the
collective agreement.

The Academic Council has ensured that funds for articulation
meeting purposes are provided to, and by, each institution
for that specific function.

Funding for professional development purposes is an institu-
tional decision.

Finally, may “I draw your attention to item 8 of the Terms of
Reference in the Academic Council guidelines on Articulation
Committees. The Council recognizes that for many articulation
committees their meeting provides an opportunity for an assoc-
iated professional development program, and in principle the
Council is supportive of this.

I hope this will clarify the distinction which must be made on
this matter.
