MEMORANDUM

To: Principals, Deans, Academic Directors and Chairs
From: David Naylor, President
Date: February 25, 2010
RE: Statement on Freedom of Expression and Diversity

Dear colleagues, students and friends:

As each of us in the University pursues the daily work of scholarship and administration, it is worthwhile to reflect on the health of our interactions as a diverse community.

On the whole, we are very fortunate. In three of the world's most culturally and racially diverse campuses, members of the University of Toronto set a standard for respect and understanding. Discussions on our campuses continue to deal with some of the most difficult subjects imaginable. And in general, free expression on our campuses has served to build a sense of community.

From time to time, however, we are asked to ban discussion of certain subjects or censor certain presentations. We examine those requests on their merits, but the bar to take such actions is high. Freedom of speech is a core value for any university in a democratic society. Younger members of our community will eventually enter a world in which heated arguments occur and careless or inflammatory rhetoric is not uncommon. We do them no service to shelter them from those realities.

That said, I want to acknowledge the over-riding imperative of campus safety when controversy bubbles and debates become heated. Thus far, the University of Toronto has been a safe place for vigorous debate on even the most divisive of topics. Looking ahead, we shall not tolerate any actions by any groups that cause threats to the physical safety of members of our community.

While the usual rule of law applies to any and all utterances on our campuses, there are some other responsibilities that I believe travel along with the exercise of free speech rights. These include decency and civility, avoidance of targeting of individuals and identifiable groups, and respect for diversity of opinion.

Occasionally incidents arise that compel us to recall these principles which are at the core of our work and life together. Some years ago, serious events occurred that left members of our Muslim communities feeling targeted; in the past year other incidents have occurred that alienated and dismayed members of our Black and Jewish communities. While these occurrences are rare, any such behaviours are deplorable.

I understand that there are strong views on our campuses on a wide variety of issues. We recognize the right of members of our community to exchange views that are discomfiting or even offensive to some. However, passionate advocacy - even righteous anger directed at some perceived injustice - does not preclude civility or generosity of spirit. We ask, therefore, that when arguments veer near or onto themes such as nationality, ethnicity, race or religion, all members of our community make every effort to express the qualifiers and nuances that mitigate the risk that their opinions can be interpreted as discriminatory denigration of individuals and groups.

I also note that there have been incidents in the last year in which speakers were shouted down at public meetings. Faculty members and student leaders have particular responsibilities in this regard. It is central to the values of a university that those with opposing views are granted a chance to be heard without abuse.

Here I want to caution off-campus groups that may be inclined to precipitate confrontations in an attempt to shut down presentations that disturb them. More generally, I urge all recognized campus groups and members of our community to provide constructive outlets for dissenting views when on-campus presentations address controversial issues.

For its part, the administration will continue to protect freedom of expression and promote interchange among persons with different viewpoints on our campuses. We shall not hesitate to intervene if there are concerns about safety, or if speakers migrate from advocacy to hate-promoting speech. As well, if we have reason to believe that an event could be abused to target members of the community, senior University staff will monitor that event in order to ensure that it is conducted in an environment of respect and inclusiveness. Last, when members of our community tell us that events or discussions may have violated University policies, we will assess those complaints quickly and take whatever actions are necessary to restore a safe environment for producing knowledge and discussing ideas.

In summary, as we move through the remainder of this academic year, I ask that members of our community rededicate themselves to maintaining an environment free of discrimination or racism in any form. I also ask that you keep firmly in view the key responsibilities and legal limits that accompany the exercise of free speech on our campuses.

Sincerely,

David Naylor
President

DATE: February 16, 2010RE:

Professor Don McLean Appointed Dean, Faculty of MusicI am pleased to announce that the Academic Board has approved the appointment of Professor Don McLean as Dean of the Faculty of Music from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2016.Professor McLean is a graduate of the University of Toronto (BMus, MA, PhD) and the Royal Conservatory of Music (A.R.C.T. piano, theory and composition). He taught at both U of T and the Royal Conservatory from 1978-1989. As a researcher, his specialty is music theory, with expertise in Schenkerian theory and analysis and the music of the new Viennese School, especially Alban Berg. Some of his current research focuses on the emotional impact of music on the listener and the examination of the musical-structural determinants of psycho-physiological responses such as musical frisson or the chill factor. He is a strong champion of interdisciplinary research and an international speaker on trends in higher education in music. His musical experience and professional training encompass piano accompanying and coaching, orchestral and choral conducting, composition, musicology, and music theory.

Currently Dean of the Schulich School of Music at McGill University, Professor McLean has overseen the Faculty's remarkable growth in size and stature. He played a key role in securing funding from university, private, and government sources, and external granting agencies towards the creation of McGill's New Music Building Project and its Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT). The Centre is international in scope and stature, and brings together creative and performing musicians and scientists from diverse fields such as neuroscience, computer and electrical engineering, psychology, sound recording and technology to investigate the technology of music and music as a technology for human expression.

Professor McLean has continued his teaching, supervision, and research activities and has been instrumental in the creation of several major interdisciplinary teaching and research initiatives. He is a member of the Society for Music Theory and the American Musicological Society, the Association of European Conservatories, and is a past chair of the Standing Committee of Member Institutions of the Canadian University Music Society. He is active as a community leader in developing links with professional arts organizations and charities, notably Centraide (the United Way).P lease join me in welcoming Professor McLean to the University.

International Professional Master in Management of Eco-Innovation

I would like to draw your attention to a new International Professional Master in Management of Eco-Innovation offered by the University of Versailles, France. This is a one-year, post-graduate, internship-based degree focused on management of technological innovations bringing environmental and competitive benefits to business and other end-users. The programme is taught in English by a consortium of university- and industry-based instructors at France’s leading environment-focused university.

The programme prides itself on making learning real, preparing graduates to manage eco-innovation from inspiration to solution. Distinctive benefits of the programme include:

· Learning in English while living in France
· A 50/50 division between classroom learning and internship-based learning with one of our six partners: Alstom, ADEME, GDF-Suez, Italcementi, Saur and SNCF
· An international model: course modules each taught by multiple instructors from the university, industry experts and partner representatives
· Modules in:
o Eco-innovation and competitiveness in a globalizing economy
o Methods and tools for economic and environmental evaluation
o Finance and entrepreneurship
o Social acceptability
o Major scientific challenges and technologies for sustainability
o Multiple skills modules (negotiation, creativity, language, science, finance)
· Internship Clinics where students can share and build upon their work place experiences
· An Integration Seminar where students will integrate and apply lessons learned in course work and internships to a problem by teams of students working together.

The programme is aimed at recent graduates in engineering or environmental sciences with a prior Master degree, or a Bachelor degree and equivalent experience, and industry professionals wanting to broaden their knowledge of eco-innovation management. Students with non-technical backgrounds are also welcome to apply, provided that they can demonstrate a substantial interest in and exposure to issues at the intersection of business and environment. The fee for the programme is 2000 euros.
The programme brochure and application form are available from the Econoving website (http://econoving.universud-paris.fr/ , download the brochure ).

Facilities and Services is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for sustainability projects!

The University of Toronto's Department of Facilities and Services is pleased again to announce an exciting opportunity for students, staff and faculty to put their environmental ideas into action. The Sustainability Fund will promote the implementation of projects which achieve a reduction in utilities consumption resulting in greenhouse gas emission reductions. Because of the source of funds, only energy and resource conservation projects will be considered. While the Department of Facilities and Services has always taken strides to invest in sustainability projects on campus, this fund seeks to promote environmental leadership within U of T and to build on the ideas of campus community members.

Interested parties are invited to submit a Statement of Intent (SOI) to the fund which defines the scope of work. The overall application process will occur over two stages and approved SOIs will be invited to submit more detailed applications for the second round. Projects applying for fund monies will have to meet general criteria, and a Dean or Designate from the applicant's division must approve the SOIs before they are submitted. The deadline for submitting a Statement of Intent for the pilot funding round is FEBRUARY 16, 2010 at 5pm.

I am pleased to announce this winter's research ethics workshops for social sciences and humanities research involving human participants. Please see the attached memorandum and flyer for more information. I would appreciate it if you would forward the memo as soon as possible to all graduate students, faculty members, and staff in your department, and post the flyer.

Sincerely,

Dean
