The revised process, which was received positively by Senate, aims at making 杏吧原创\u2019s Faculty Boards more central in the graduate curriculum approval process. A fulsome report highlighting the full details of the proposed changes will be presented to Senate and will require approval of the Senate and Board of Governors before implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"campus-master-plan-consultation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campus Master Plan Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate received a presentation from Vice-Presidents (Finance and Administration) Lorraine Dyke and consulting firm Brook McIlroy on 杏吧原创\u2019s draft Campus Master Plan.
