implementation of this Governance System, one-half of the
representatives from each constituency will serve a three-year term to
ensure a staggered change in membership over time.

An orientation to the role of a member of the Education Council will be
provided for each new member.

The President and Deans provide information, analysis, advice and
interpretation to the Education Council.

Should meet a minimum of eight times per year during its initial year of
