Budget/Business Plan
This Comprehensive Institutional Plan (CIP) is a three-year, integrated planning document that satisfies legislated requirements outlined under Section 78(1) of the Post-Secondary Learning Act and Section 16(1) of the Government Accountability Act. The Chair of the Board of Governors is required to submit this multi-year plan to the Minister of Advanced Education and Technology (AET) by March 15 each year.
The CIP has been constructed as a series of chapters overseen by a senior team at the university. The academic priorities outlined in the academic chapter served as a foundation for planning in the capital, budget and resource allocation chapters. The process to develop the academic plan is outlined in the academic chapter. The CIP has gone through an extensive, iterative consultative process appropriate to the information in the document; those chapters that are the purview of GFC (i.e., the Academic Plan) have gone through extensive consultation with the academic community, while those chapters that are the purview of the Board (i.e., the more business related chapters) have had extensive, iterative consultation through the University Planning Committee (UPC) (a GFC committee) along with various administrative committees (Executive Leadership Team, Executive Leadership Team Operations Committee, and the Campus Strategic Initiatives Committee), and the University Budget Committee (TUBC), Operations and Executive committees of the Board.
