The

offices: the present and past chancellors of the University; the president
of the University; the vice-presidents of the University; the Deputy
Minister of Education; the chair of the Council; the heads of federated or
affiliated colleges of the University; the deans or acting deans of
faculties that are now or may hereafter be established by the University;
such other deans of academic and student affairs and such directors as are
nominated by the president and approved by the Senate. Another fourteen
members of Convocation representing twelve electoral districts are elected
to the Senate by Convocation. The Minister of Education is a member ex
officio. Six students of the University are elected to Senate by the
students registered in the University. In addition, any professional
society, group or organization in the Province that, in the opinion of the
Senate, contributes in a significant way to the social, economic and
cultural welfare of the Province may, with the consent of the Senate, be
represented on that body. The current Senate has representatives from 41
different organizations.
Because of its broad public representation, the Senate has been described
as the University’s “window on the world.” Its functions in this
respect are of utmost importance. Its general area of concern is the
academic welfare of the institution and, within this area, it has a
variety of duties and powers. Most of the broader issues of academic
policy within the University are reserved for its approval. In another
role, it acts as an ultimate court in academic affairs.
