Aurora College Launches New Academic Council

Continuing their progress in establishing a tri-cameral government structure, Aurora College has established their first Academic Council.

This Council will be one of the highest authorities for the college, and will oversee the various academic standards for the entire institution. It consists of 30 different faculty members, with 27 of them elected by the College.

The Council will hold meetings every month between September and June. They will be advising the Board of Governors, give their recommendations on different matters around the school, and will be aiming to improve the College’s ability to make these kinds of decisions.

This Council will be aiming to bring the College one step closer to their goal of establishing a Senate for the polytechnic school. Going forward, it is expected that around one-third of the Council’s membership will be renewed every year, in an effort to keep things stable.
