Governance
The University of Niagara Falls Canada has a system of governance similar to the bicameral system in place at many other Canadian universities. The Board of Governors is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the university including fiduciary, legal and financial responsibility, with a role and mandate similar to that of Boards of Governors for public universities. The Academic Council consists of broad representation of senior administrative staff, faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Decisions about academic programs, policies and standards are made by the Academic Council.
