Name of creator
Administrative history
In addition to regulating by statute the details of the two-campus organization, the University Act of 1968 called for the creation of a University Secretary. This officer would become the secretary of the Board of Governors, the Senate, and the newly created General University Council. There was also a Campus Secretary for each of the two campuses (Saskatoon and Regina). In 1974 the University Act was replaced by the University of Saskatchewan Act to reflect the establishment of the University of Regina. The duties of the University Secretary were to remain essentially the same. The General University Council, however, was made redundant and replaced by the University Council. As the keeper of the official records of the above bodies, this office acts as a communication centre for academic and administrative decisions pertaining to the University. The following have served as University Secretary: J.A.E. Bardwell (1968-1974); N.K. Cram (1974-1984); R.I. MacLean (1984-2000); Gordon Barnhart (2000-2005); Lea Pennock (2005-2013); Elizabeth Williamson (2013-2017); Beth Bilson (2017- ). The Campus Secretary (Saskatoon) was N.K. Cram (1968-1974)
