Scope and content
This box contains a number of activities relating to other universities.
In 1983, I was asked by George Connell, the president of the University of Western Ontario, to review the Law Faculty which had been having serious problems (files 2-4). The dean, Philip Slayton, had just resigned. I met with members of the faculty, students, and alumni and produced a report (files 5-12).
In 1992, I was asked by David Smith, the president of Queen’s University, to spend a day or two advising him and the search committee about the strengths and weaknesses of the Law Faculty. I met with the various groups in Kingston and produced a short report. I was subsequently asked my opinion of various candidates (file 14).
In 1984 I was asked but declined to let my name stand as a possible candidate for the presidency of York University (file 13).
