Professor Fumiko Ikawa-Smith insisted that the proposal was benign. This is simply meant to get us old professors to retire. However, Professor John Ripley pointed out a passage which says that Senior Professors would continue to be subject to University regulations. I'll need more explanation about what those policies might eventually be. So we spend a long time looking for alternatives.
Nothing here changes the fact they're retired.
Eventually, Principal Shapiro asked Chan to withdraw the proposal and to iron out the wrinkles in light of the discussion that had just taken place, and the vice-principal complied. Merger not in the cards Professor DuBow asked the principal for an explanation concerning recent articles in the local media. Both Le Devoir and The Gazette had run stories on the weekend preceding Senate stating that McGill and Concordia were close to a merger of library services. DuBow quoted one article saying that Concordia University's rector Frederick Lowy had said that he didn't want too many details known at this time because it might increase the stress load on employees in the departments under consideration. I refuse to have such a discussion.
