ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY BOARD OF GOVERNORS
In establishing Royal Roads University through the Royal Roads University Act in 1996, the Province of British Columbia created a unique university with a mandate to offer applied and professional certificate, diploma and degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels in response to the labour market needs of British Columbia.
The government constituted Royal Roads University with unicameral governance, rather than with a bicameral governance structure typical of traditional universities. In such universities, a board is responsible for administrative governance and a senate is responsible for academic governance. The Royal Roads University Board of Governors carries the responsibilities of a traditional university board and senate together, and at Royal Roads, the board chair also holds the position of chancellor.
