ROLE OF COLLEGE COUNCIL
College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long- and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.
As of 2018, Humber’s three Strategic Pillars provide the foundation for the strategic priorities and corresponding supporting actions:
i. Career-Ready Citizens
ii. Accessible Education
iii. Healthy and Inclusive Community
The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.
