Academic Board
Academic Board
Academic Board is the principal academic body of the University. It furthers and co-ordinates the work of the Faculties and other academic units, encourages scholarship and research, and advises the Vice-Chancellor and Council on matters relating to teaching, scholarship and research within the University. Academic Board also considers and reports on matters referred to it by the Council or by the Vice-Chancellor.
The Board and its Committees develop, implement and review academic policies and consider proposals for developments of academic programs and awards. The Board works closely with the senior executive of the University and various support divisions, such as the Teaching & Learning Centre and the Student Centre, as well as with the University Council to ensure that the University's academic programs and outcomes are of the highest quality.
The Board and its Committees are attentive and responsive to staff input and concerns and it is for this reason that elected staff and Professorial representatives have been included on both the Academic Board itself as well as on its major Committees.
