As proposed by the Task Force for the Selection of a New Department Name
(An Adobe Acrobat copy of the report is available here >>)a referendum will be held to advise the
Chair on the selection of a new name.
In keeping with University of Toronto policy, the purpose of the
referendum is to seek the input of the faculty on this very important
issue. Students and
administrative staff members are also invited to provide their feedback on
the proposed names.
The principles for the referendum are as follows:
All faculty with a primary or cross-appointment to the Department of
Health Administration are entitled to one vote.
In order to allow that all faculty have a voice, yet ensure that those
with primary and full-time appointments are recognized, the vote will
require a simple majority of those voting in each of the following groups:
the entire faculty (primary and cross-appointed)
primary appointed faculty
primary full-time faculty
The vote will be conducted by secret ballot. The Department’s Business Officer, Mr. Horatio Bot will
be the Returning Officer.
Each Faculty member will be provided with a ballot and two
envelopes. The ballot will be
inserted into a small envelope.
The smaller envelope will be inserted into a larger envelope. The Faculty member will sign the
larger envelope and print their name legibly on that envelope.
The ballots will be returned to the Department’s Assistant to the Chair,
Ms Jeanne Kerr. She will open
the larger envelope and cross off the faculty member’s name against the
voter list. The small
envelope, still sealed, will be separated to ensure confidentiality.
Ballots will be sent out by mail on February 2, 2001 and will be due
on February 23, 2001.
Results will be announced by February 27, 2001.
If the required majority votes are not achieved the name of the
Department will remain unchanged.
If the majority votes are achieved then the Chair will prepare a
recommendation to the Dean of Medicine for submission for approval through
University governance.
The proposed names for the referendum are:
Department of Health Strategies
Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation
