Bernard Katz
I have been a member of this college for more than 25 years. I
teach and hold office hours at UTM five days a week. This
schedule will permit me to serve faithfully as a member of this
committee. In addition to attending Erindale College Council I
have served a Chair of RPPC for 2 terms, as a member of Campus
Affairs for 1 term and a member of Campus Council for 1 term. I
have never missed a meeting. I ask for your support.
I joined Erindale College, as our campus was then called, in 1976 and
have taught in the Department of Philosophy since then. I served as
Erindale Philosophy Discipline Representative (1979-1981), Associate
Chair and Graduate Coordinator for Department of Philosophy (199598), Associate Dean, Humanities, of the School of Graduate Studies
(1999-2004), and Acting Vice-Dean, Graduate of UTM (2012-13). I
have also served on numerous College, Department and University
committees.
Yours truly,
Lee Bailey

the Humanities, one of the largest and, thanks to our theatre and art
gallery, most publicly visible areas of academic study at UTM.
