Message Concerning the AGM Questionnaire

I am concerned that some members who wished to register their opinions on the issue of the  future location and timing of the AGM may have inadvertently missed the original deadline of January 10.  President Russell has therefore asked that I offer members a second chance to respond to the questionnaire. The new deadline is FEBRUARY 12.  For your convenience, the questionnaire document is reprinted below in both English and French.



Questionnaire on Location & Timing of AGM in Future Years

Since 1999 the CAC has held its AGM separately from the Congress of Learned Societies, now organized by the HSSFC (at Laval in 1999; at the University of Winnipeg in 2000), and the 2001 AGM will also be held separately from the Learneds (at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University).  These decisions have been taken each year on an ad-hoc basis, in response to arguments presented by the executive of the CAC Council. In reaction to some of the points raised in the discussion at the Winnipeg AGM, Council decided that the membership at large should be polled,  so as to enable those who were not at the meeting to express their opinions.  It was hoped that such an expression of opinion might provide clear guidance for Council in establishing policy for the future on the location and timing of the AGM.

The following questionnaire and statement of the pro's and con's of meetings in association with the Learneds or independent of the Learneds has been prepared by an ad-hoc committee (consisting of Professors H. Leclerc, C. Marshall, D. Mirhady, and C. Rubincam [Chair]) set up by President Russell in the summer of 2000.

Members are asked to read through the statement of pro's and con's and respond to the questionnaire by e-mail or fax  NO LATER THAN February 12, 2001.  E-mail responses to:  <rubincam@utm.utoronto.ca>   Fax responses to:  905-828-5202 (Attn. Professor C. Rubincam).

Statement of pro's and con's.
In favour of an independent meeting of the AGM: In favour of meeting as part of the Learneds:

Questionnaire sur l'emplacement et le moment des Assemblées générales annuelles futures.

Depuis 1999, la SCEC tient son Assemblée générale annuelle séparément du Congrès des Sociétés savantes qui est maintenant organisé par la FCSHS.  Elle eut lieu à l'Université Laval en 1999 et à l'Université de Winnipeg en 2000. Celle de 2001 se tiendra dans les Universités de Waterloo et Wilfrid Laurier, encore une fois séparément du Congrès des Sociétés savantes. Chaque année, ces décisions ad hoc ont été prises en réponse aux arguments présentés par l'exécutif du conseil de la SCEC. En réaction à certains points soulevés dans la discussion de l'Assemblée générale annuelle de Winnipeg, le conseil a décidé que tous les membres devraient être consultés pour permettre à ceux qui n'étaient pas présents à la réunion d'exprimer leur opinion sur la question. À partir des résultats de cette enquête, le conseil souhaite établir une règle sur l'emplacement et le moment des futures Assemblées générales annuelles.

Le questionnaire et le rapport suivants sur les pours et les contres des Congrès en association avec les Sociétés savantes ou des Congrès indépendants des Sociétés savantes ont été préparés par un comité ad hoc mis sur pied par le président Russell à l'été 2000 et formé des professeurs H. Leclerc, C. Marshall, D. Mirhady et C. Rubincam, qui en assume la présidence.

Les membres sont priés de lire le rapport des pours et des contres et de répondre au questionnaire soit par courriel, soit par fax AVANT LE 12 FEVRIER 2001.  Réponses par courriel à: <rubincam@utm.utoronto.ca>.   Réponses par fax à : 905-828-5202 (Attn: Professor C. Rubincam).

Assistant Professor of Classics

The Department of Classics at the University of Manitoba, subject to final budgetary approval, invites applications for a one-year term position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Classics.  Broad training and experience in the field of Classical Studies is a strong desideratum and, subject to that, the preference will be for candidates with a specialization in some area of ancient history or classical archaeology.  The appointment will be for the period from September 1, 2001 to August 31, 2002.

The person appointed will have a record of successful teaching, preferably both in Classical Studies courses and in Classical languages, and a record of research reflected in scholarly publications.  A completed Ph.D. by the date of the appointment is preferred although applicants with Ph.D. requirements close to completion may be considered for appointment at the rank of Lecturer.  The successful applicant will be asked to teach three full undergraduate courses at the junior or senior level in such areas as Greek or Roman Art History and Archaeology, Greek and Roman Cultural history, and/or in Latin or Greek or Classical Literature in translation. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience, but is intended to be near the floor for this rank, which is $42,524 (under review).

The University of Manitoba encourages applications from qualified women and men, including members of visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, and persons with disabilities.  In accordance with Immigration requirements, this advertisement is directed to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.  A letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and evidence of successful teaching should be sent to Professor Rory B. Egan, Head, Department of Classics, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2M8.  The deadline for receipt of applications is March 31, 2001.  Classics Department University of Manitoba;  <classics@umanitoba.ca>  Ph: (204)474-9502;   FAX:(204)474-7684
