In early 2018, the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) formed an ad hoc committee on collegial governance in Ontario universities with an initial mandate to collect data on current governance practices of Ontario universities and articulate a vision for collegial governance. This initiative was taken in response to an increasing level of concern among the OCUFA member associations regarding the ways in which universities are being governed and the erosion of collegial governance at Ontario academic institutions. The committee's research work commenced in the spring of 2018 with the collection of data from every university faculty association in Ontario through the means of a detailed survey on current university governance structures and processes including Senate and Board structures and practices, searches for senior administrators, budgets and finances, and general university governance. The survey received a hundred per cent response rate and yielded both quantitative and narrative results regarding the state of collegial governance in Ontario.
