Description, purpose and use of records

Original agendas and minutes.

These are the official minutes of all Board of Governors meetings including open, closed and confidential sessions of the Board. Open sessions are open to all members of the University community and the public; closed sessions are restricted to Board members, the Board secretary, the Vice-Presidents group, the Director, Media and Public Relations and anyone else who has the permission of the Board Chair to attend; confidential sessions are restricted to Board members, the Secretary of the Board and anyone else who has the permission of the Board Chair to attend.

These records are used to document all deliberations of the Board including the passage of motions and resolutions and the approval of governing decisions.

The Board minutes include an annual index which is filed at the beginning of the minutes for that year.

Copies of Board minutes circulated to university departments for information purposes should be retained only as long as needed by the department, then destroyed.
