Re: Reappointment of the Ombudsperson
I am very pleased to announce that, at its meeting yesterday, the Governing Council approved the reappointment of Professor Emeritus Joan E. Foley as University Ombudsperson for a further three-year term to June 30, 2013.
The Committee that reviewed the Office of the University Ombudsperson was enthusiastic in its praise of Professor Foley's work in restructuring the Office, including the appointment of an experienced case officer to streamline the handling of individual cases thereby enabling the Ombudsperson to focus more readily on systemic matters and complex cases. Professor Foley has also enhanced the visibility of the Office, and significantly improved the array of online information about the office and its services. In the view of the Committee and that of the Governing Council, members of the University have been extremely well served by Joan Foley during her first term as Ombudsperson, and the University is very fortunate- and grateful - that she has agreed to continue in that role.
Professor Foley's contribution as Ombudsperson caps an extraordinary record of service to the University as: Professor of Psychology, Graduate Secretary and later Chair of the St. George Campus Department of Psychology, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science, Chair of the Division of Life Sciences at UTSC, Principal of UTSC, and Vice-President and Provost of the University. Following her term as Provost, she returned to teaching. Before and after her formal retirement, she served as a leader at UTSC in the expansion of its co-op programs and in the development of its joint programs with Centennial College. She has been honored by the City of Scarborough Civic Award of Merit and the University of Toronto Alumni Association's Faculty Award, by the establishment in her honour of the annual Joan E. Foley Quality of Student Experience Award and by the action, in response to a proposal from the Scarborough Student Village Council, to name the newest student residence building at UTSC Joan Foley Hall.
