Where Openness Matters

As a public institution, The University of Winnipeg is committed to providing the general public with pertinent data and information about our operations. We publish a magazine-style annual Report to the Community outlining our budget priorities and key activities.  

General Information

The University of Winnipeg Act, passed by the Manitoba legislature, provides that governance of the University is shared between a Board of Regents and a Senate. The Act sets out the roles, duties and powers of both governing bodies.

The Board of Regents determines overall policy for the University. Regents represent a variety of internal and external stakeholders. The Board provides strategic direction and a broad framework of goals and objectives to the University's administration.

The Senate is responsible for the academic policy and practices of the University, faculty, staff and students. Examples of Senate responsibilities include curriculum development, setting academic standards, student appeals, and conferring of degrees.
