Governance

The University of Fredericton is committed to providing its learners with a high quality academic experience and in representing the very best values of Canada to international learners working in a flat world.

Our commitment to academic quality is reflected in our curricula, faculty, learner support services and academic oversight process. Our internal academic oversight process is further strengthened by our ability to track and analyze data and metrics related to learner performance and satisfaction.

The University of Fredericton is both managed and governed. The Board of Directors sets policies and business strategies, and management carries out the policies and strategies. The Academic Board, as the governing academic body, together with the faculty and staff, oversees the quality of the educational services being delivered, and the teaching faculty and learners create the dynamics of the teaching/learning process.

The University of Fredericton has parallel lines of authority, with academic issues brought up through faculty, Deans, and ultimately to the Chair of the Academic Board, while the financial dimensions are brought up through a parallel organization on the business side. The result is that there is a place for advocacy of academic issues that is not automatically trumped by financial considerations while exercising the best management practices.
