Aurora appoints first academic council

Aurora College has appointed its first Academic Council, which is the second of three new bodies making up the college’s new tri-cameral governance structure. The Academic Council is an internal body that will focus on the college’s academic quality and standards. Members include 30 staff, faculty, and student representatives; 27 of which are voting members and three of which are non-voting members. The council will provide the Board of Governors with advice, make recommendations on academic matters, and build Aurora’s academic decision-making capacity. The council will become a senate after Aurora becomes a polytechnic university .
