These names are vetted by a committee made up of community and public interest group presidents. The committee of presidents compiles a shortlist of twenty names from the names submitted, and forwards the shortlist to the Ministry of Education for review by Ministry bureaucrats, a process internal to the Ministry whose workings are unknown. Since inception of the process, the minister of Education has appointed as Board Members those twenty persons on the shortlist with two exceptions, one of whom had an extensive criminal record. The Faculty Council of the Faculty of Arts of the Technical Institute of Northern Ontario made the following regulation in 1991, which it forwarded to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities for review.
