Carleton\u2019s Deputy Minister Champion Welcomed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carleton\u2019s Champion Yazmine Laroche, Deputy Minister, Public Service Accessibility, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, presented to the Board on her connection to Carleton and her role as the DM Champion for the university. Deputy Minister Laroche also discussed her role in government, its relationship with Carleton as a prospective employer for new graduates as well as the development of new legislation on accessibility, acknowledging the leading role Carleton, especially the Paul Menton Centre, has played historically in the advancement of disability rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revised Sexual Violence Policy Approved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After thoughtful and engaged deliberations, the Board approved the revised Sexual Violence Policy. The revised policy incorporates feedback from an extensive nine month consultation period which included meetings, design-thinking workshops and online submissions from Carleton students, staff, faculty, unions and associations. The Board also listened to a presentation from the Graduate Student Association (GSA) Consent Culture Committee and CUPE 4600 Women\u2019s Caucus on their recent open letter. The Board thanks all members of the community for their feedback during the policy review and looks forward to the launch of the broader campus sexual violence strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Board Approves Balanced Operating Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Board approved a balanced Operating Budget for 2019\/20 with total revenue and expenses of $489.1M. The budget shows a $15.5M reduction due to the mandated 10 per cent domestic tuition reduction, partially offset by slight enrolment growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Association Fees Approved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Board approved the 2019\/20 Student Association fees, including the opportunity for students to opt-out of some fees as mandated by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. All fees presented for 2019\/20 were existing fees and are in effect as of Sept. 1, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
