WHEREAS, the Graduate Division has proposed a mandatory teaching assistant training program to provide the necessary training, mentoring, and monitoring; and

WHEREAS, the proposed program will be primarily implemented at the department level: and

WHEREAS, there is a need for flexibility in formulation of how the program requirements can be achieved in order to satisfy the varying needs and constraints of each department; therefore
