History
The University Secretariat was established in 1969 to provide support for the administration of the committees and bodies that oversee the University. a central office was established by the 1966 Universities Act. The Secretariat is responsible for keeping the records of the General Faculties Council and its committees, Deans' Council, Chairmen's Council, the President's Committees and other bodies as delegated. University of Alberta Faculties frequently propose changes to their courses and programs as listed in the University Calendar. The University Secretariat then circulates these proposed changes throughout the University community. Prior to its creation each body would have been responsible for its own administration. These matters were largely arranged by the President's office. Secretaries: 1969-1981 Margaret M. McCaughan; 1981-1989 Ellen A. Schoeck. Directors: 1990- Ellen A. Schoeck.
