D.M.R. BENTLEY, ACADEMIC COLLEAGUE

At the meetings of the Academic Colleagues and the Council of Ontario Universities in Toronto on October 23, 1998, several matters of interest and importance to Senate were discussed and decided:

It was reported that a committee to oversee the Millennium Scholarship program has been established and that work in a variety of areas, most notably OSAP, the OCGS review process, and secondary-school relations, is proceeding well. COU was also informed that the Ontario College-University Transfer Guide, a Website that provides information about institutional credit-transfer policies and practices, will be in place in early December and that the Ontario Universities' Application Centre is prepared to take steps to ensure that no applicants will be disadvantaged as a consequence of teaching interruptions in Ontario high schools.
