President Robert Gordon and other UWindsor senior leadership will host the second of two town hall meetings for students, faculty, and staff from 1 to 2:30 p.m. today — Thursday, Oct. 31 — in the Alumni Auditorium, CAW Student Centre.

These events are intended to provide the campus community an update on the development of the University’s plan for negotiating Strategic Mandate Agreement 3 with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities.

The agreement will establish performance metrics, targets, and enrolment corridors related to provincial funding for the 2020-25 period. Beginning in 2020, approximately $23 million of the University’s existing provincial grant will be tied to achieving annual performance targets. By 2024-25, that amount will increase to nearly $56 million.

More information is available on the University’s new SMA3 Process website. A video of the town hall session will be uploaded to the site for those unable to attend in person.
