We, the undersigned:
1. Object to the Deans' having announced an admissions-freeze to the BFA program on 9 November 2011 without first consulting or advising Faculty Board;
2. Object to Faculty Board having been cancelled on 11 November 2011, when it should have had opportunity to meet and discuss the admissions freeze;
3. Remind the Dean(s) and Faculty Board of the following "Functions" of Faculty Board, as provided in the FAS By-Laws, pp. 1-2:
- "D) to control registration subject to the approval of the Senate;"
- "G) to make such recommendations to the Senate as the Faculty may deem expedient for promoting the efficiency of the University;"
4. Declare that in our view the freezing of all admissions to any program is, among other things, an academic matter and therefore subject to approval by Senate, and also falls under Faculty Board's Functions (D) and (G); and
5. Ask that these views be recorded in the Minutes of Faculty Board.
