Faculty participate in academic governance through “collegiality” – a duty and a right. 

Collegial Management, or Collegial Authority, is the influence and involvement faculty members have in the decisions and administration of our institution.

Faculty have input on decisions related to:

• hiring and selection of new faculty and administrators;
• successful completion of probation for new faculty;
• student appeals and entrance;
• curriculum development;
• course offerings;
• individual and department work assignments;
• peer reviews;
• election of coordinators and chairs;
• allocation of pro. dev’t resources.
  Adapted from Federation of Post Secondary Educators (FPSE), 2014.

Collegiality is a fundamental condition of academic work.
