CEGEP JOHN ABBOTT COLLEGE • ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 1 Minister Hélène David Minister of Education, Higher Education and Research Government of Québec

Minister David,

On behalf of the Board of Governors and the entire John Abbott College community, we are pleased to provide you with the Annual Report for the 2016-2017 academic year. The year proved to be very successful, and after many years of financial constraint, it is with great pleasure that we antici- pate the promised coming years of increased investment in higher education. Our College achieved some very important milestones during this last academic year. • The quality of our academic programs and student services remain very strong. Our student applications and enrolment remain stable, our student success results are excellent, and alumni surveys (18 months after they graduate) continue to show that 92% of our graduates would choose John Abbott College if they were to do it again. • A survey of external stakeholders (by CROP) has revealed that the College has a strong reputation driven by its dedicat- ed staff members, its excellent programs, and its friendly community-oriented environment. • We continue to make good progress on our 2015-2020 Strategic Plan and are on-track to meeting most of the targets that were initially established. • Our rigorous fiscal management has allowed us, once again, to deliver a financial surplus. This is essential for us to continue the extensive renovations of our many beautiful but aging facilities. • After many months of analysis, we submitted a facilities expansion proposal to your ministry to take possession of Brittain Hall, a McGill University building on our campus abandoned for over 35 years ago, which would address our College’s floor-space deficit. • Finally, two key officers of the College stepped down from their roles this year: Donna Yates, Director of Human Resour- ces and Communications retired after over 35 years of service, and our Academic Dean, Erich Schmedt also stepped down after 32 years at John Abbott. We thank them for their years of excellent service and genuine dedication to our students and staff, and we wish their successors continued success. At the governance level, the Board also made significant progress in improving the Board and the College’s operating procedures: • An update of our Policy 4 - Concerning Sexual Harassment, Psychological Harassment Abuse of Power and Violence in addition to the development and implementation of a new Support Protocol for victims of Sexual Violence; • The development of a Dashboard for our Strategic Plan that is helping the Board monitor progress on the ten orientations of the Plan; • The updating of By-law 4 – Concerning College Admission, By-law 5 – Concerning the Academic Council, and Policy 7 – Institutional Policy on the Evaluation of Students. None of the successes listed above, and the many more described in this document, would have been possible without the continued dedication of the employees and the entire College community. The John Abbott College family continues to remain focused on contributing to student success. We have and will continue to do great things for our students. Respectfully,

Guylaine Audet John Halpin Chair of the Board of Governors Director General

CEGEP JOHN ABBOTT COLLEGE • ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 CEGEP JOHN ABBOTT COLLEGE • ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 27 REPORT ON THE APPLICATION OF THE ACT RESPECTING WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL WITHIN GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, PUBLIC SECTOR BODIES AND NETWORKS AND STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES

Service Contracts: Service contracts involving an expenditure of $25,000 or more and signed between April 1, 2016 and March 30, 2017 QUANTITY VALUE Service contracts with a natural person 4 $164,140 Service contracts with a contractor other than a natural person 35 $3,971,084 Total Service Contracts 39 $4,135,224

Workforce Management and Control: The staﬃng level pertaining to Article 38 of the Law for the period of April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 exceeds that of the reference period of January 1 to December 31, 2014. The number of individuals is less than it was in 2014 because in 2016-2017, we eliminated a signiﬁcant number of occasional employees in favour of creating permanent positions. The reason for the excess of number of hours declared is due to an increase in student population and extra grants/funding received from the Ministry resulting in extra hiring and hours worked. 2016/04/01 - 2017/03/31 Number of hours declared Number of employees Hours Paid Hours Worked Overtime -294 15285.13 14986.91 298.22
