The review reinforces 黄色直播鈥檚 strong tradition of and commitment to bicameral governance, which the reviewers consider a key strength our university can build on as we seek to enhance the capacities of our Board and Senate to fulfill their vital roles. The review calls for 黄色直播 to pursue 鈥渁 more purposeful, integrated, self-aware approach to bicameral governance鈥 and provides substantive recommendations towards this end.听
听
On behalf of the university, my thanks to Julia and Cheryl for their thoughtful, thorough work on this review. Thank you, as well, to the Governance Review Advisory Group and all the Board and Senate members, past and present, who generously offered their insights and views to the reviewers.听
听
We will now launch a planning process to carefully consider the report鈥檚 recommendations, beginning with a joint meeting of the Board and Senate later this month and continuing into the fall. Further details will be shared via the University Secretariat website and communicated to the university community in the coming weeks. In the interim, any questions or comments regarding the review can be sent to Governance.Report@dal.ca.听
