C. Auld. Minister of Colleges and tf' versifies, _6th Floor, MOwat Queer, `s Park, Toronto, Ontario. Dear Mr. Auld, On behalf of the Committee on University Affairs. I have the honour to present a report of the activities of the Committee for 1972-73, 1973-74. This report has particular histoic significance. because it is the fin ii Report of the Committee. whose present role comes to an end on April 30th. 1974. The period covered includes 6 months of the Chairmanship of Dr. J. Gordon Parr, now Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Colludes and Universities, the periorl of January 1st to April 30th. 1973, when I first took over my r .sponsibilites as Acting Chairman, and the period extending from May 1st. 173, when my appointment as Chairman was confrrmed,to April 30th. 1914 when the Committee's mandate expired. Despite the uncertainty of the "Buffer's" future, the two e :tensions of appointments to the Committee, the lack of appointn-ent3 to fill vacancies. the record in the public minutes should speak for itself. Because of the commitment of the members of the CUA, the efforts of our own supfx staff, the co-operation of the Ministerial staff and the close working relationships with the Council of Ontario Univer;rfies. a dynamic and vital role was played b./ the Committee. The CUA has also mi:ritained working rehationshps with the Onta. io Confederation of University Faculty Assof-iations ar-d the Ontario Federation of Students. Ar, well as reviewing the formal actions and recommendations of the Committee. the Report contains a number of reflection:. to be passed on to the successor body and to the public at large. It is our hope that these' comments will lead to a deeper understanding of the implications of some propo;;ed solutions and to an appreciation of the sensitivites that must be recognized. As this Report will show. tha Committee on University Affairs hes endeavoured to strike a delicate balance between accountability and nsritufional autonomy. Respectfully submitted, Reva Gersten.
