This body has the ultimate responsibility for the operation and development of the college, its finances, budget and legal obligations. The Ursuline community, however, continues to own the land and buildings and to maintain rights over changes in their use or in the Mission Statement of the college. The Ursuline Sisters also appoint members to this Council. The College Council is composed, almost entirely, of members of the college community, with some representatives from the Ursulines and the Council of Trustees. Their responsibilities involve policy making for the college's ongoing operation in a variety of areas, ranging from physical plant to student life.
Academic matters are their particular concern.
To fulfil this charge, they set up an Academic Council where faculty and academic administration meet regularly to deal with academic programs and policies in keeping with our affiliation agreement with UWO and our own educational aims. This body continues the work that Faculty Council has been doing since the 60' s. Committees The Council of Trustees, College Council and Academic Council are each supported by several committees that report to them. On these committees, faculty, staff, students and administrators have opportunities to work together for the good of the college in areas that interest them. All of these committees are now functioning.
