As the “body corporate” established under the Act, the Board of Governors exercises its governance, oversight, and public accountability duties through leadership and delegation in strategic planning, financial stewardship, ethical integrity and risk management regarding the University’s objects and purposes, assets, and affairs.
The Board of Governors appoints the President and through him/her works in collaboration with faculty and administration; along with various community and business partners when protecting and advancing the interests of the University.
