Regulation Number(s):

Regulation - LGIC
Bill or Act:
Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Act, 2002
Summary of Proposal:
College and university Boards of Governors play an integral role in overseeing the direction and management of postsecondary institutions, helping to ensure that they successfully achieve their mandate and provide students with the education and training they need to be successful in the labour market.
The proposed amendments would enable the term of the Chair of the Board of Governors of the 24 publicly assisted colleges of applied arts and technology to be extended for a period of two years beyond the current limit of six years. Following the extension, the member would not be eligible for reappointment or re-election to the Board.
This is intended to support effective institutional governance by allowing the Board to retain Chairs with the experience and expertise needed to support board decision-making. Boards would have additional flexibility to maintain continuity of leadership and ensure an orderly Board Chair transition.
