Brock University’s Senate Governance Committee has issued a call for nominations for the Advisory Committee on the Dean of the Goodman School of Business. The purpose of the Advisory Committee is to make a recommendation on the appointment or reappointment of the Dean in accordance with Faculty Handbook Section 4: 2.4.

As soon as the Advisory Committee has been established, the incumbent will be asked whether they wish to stand for reappointment. If they wish to stand, the Advisory Committee will be responsible for making a recommendation on the reappointment. If they do not wish to stand, a search will be conducted and the Advisory Committee will be responsible for making a recommendation on the appointment.

It is anticipated that the work of the Advisory Committee will begin in April 2021 and should be completed within four to five months (August/September).

The Advisory Committee is normally chaired by the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, and its composition requirements are:

• at least six full-time tenured faculty members from the Goodman School of Business, such that each Department (i.e. Accounting; Finance, Operations and Information Systems; Marketing, International Business and Strategy; and Organizational Behaviour, Human Resources Management, Entrepreneurship and Ethics) is represented and such that the faculty members comprise a majority of the Committee;
• where applicable, at least one full-time tenured faculty member from the Goodman School of Business of the Program Committee of a Centre (i.e. CPA Centre for Public Policy & Innovation in Accounting; and Centre for Business Analytics);
