WUFA Ad Hoc Committees

From time to time, different ’ad hoc’ committees are formed to deal with various issues which affect the membership. Committees may be formed for a variety of purposes, such as to proof-reading important documents, surveying the membership, organizing special events or volunteering in the local labour community.

Administrative Evaluation Committee (2023-2024)

Committee Members: Yasser Alginahi (Chair), Zareen Amtul, Gurupdesh Pandher, and Robert Arnold

The Administrative Evaluation Committee was formed as follow up to a motion that was passed by the WUFA membership at the Fall 2020 AGM meeting, held on October 30, 2020. The Motion: "To improve the quality of governance, transparency and performance of the University of Windsor and promote equity, WUFA will conduct annual surveys of its membership regarding the President, Provost and Deans and other members of senior administration to be determined by a committee of WUFA Faculty Council and report the results on the WUFA's website". SURVEY RESULTS from the June 2021 survey
