The University Act of British Columbia prescribes the powers, operations, and procedures of universities in British Columbia, and sets out their structures, faculties, administrations, and governing bodies.[1]
The Act provides for the following universities:
- University of British Columbia;
- University of Victoria;
- Simon Fraser University; and
- University of Northern British Columbia.
It was enacted by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia to establish degree-granting universities for British Columbia.
The first University Act was passed in 1890, which continues in force and defines the first Convocation of The University of British Columbia. A subsequent Act was passed in 1908 (in conjunction with the University Endowment Act of 1907). Under this new statute, the governance of the University of British Columbia was clarified.
