COLLEGE COUNCIL ELECTIONS
Do you have a vision and some great ideas to share about the planning for the future of the college? Give voice to your thoughts- join the college council.
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 2013, Humber’s Strategic priorities follow three themes:
- Strengthening our Polytechnic Identity
- Sustained Focus on Teaching and Learning Excellence
- Maximizing the Impact of Partnerships
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.
While it is recognized that the Board of Governors alone can make policy, the Council makes recommendations that may ultimately become policy. If the recommendations the Council makes are not accepted by the President of the College, he or she will be expected to explain his or her reasons. 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.
