Administrative appointments
The board of governors has approved four new administrative appointments. Robert Gordon has been appointed to a further two-year term as director of the school of criminology and Zita McRobbie has been appointed interim chair of the linguistics department for a one-year term. Marguerite Fauquenoy has been appointed as chair of the French department and Donald Grayston as director of the institute for the humanities; both for three-year terms.

New parking rates approved
The board has approved new parking rates on the Burnaby campus effective Sept. 1, 2001. Rates will rise by $2-$6 per semester depending on the lot and type of parking pass. In considering the rise in rates the board was told that parking on campus is funded on a self-supporting basis and that revenue goes to maintenance, repairs and debt servicing. In spite of continually rising costs this is the first parking rate increase since 1997.
New deans appointed
The board has approved the appointment of two new deans. Ernie Love, who first came to SFU in 1977, has been appointed dean of the faculty of business administration for five years beginning Sept. 1, 2001.
