Governance
Under the Pension Benefits Standards Act, the University is the "administrator" of the plan, which means it has ultimate legal responsibility for the administration of the plan and the investment of the Trust Fund.
To carry out its responsibilities, the Board of Governors has constituted the following committees: The Governance Committee, the Investments and Administration Committee, and the Advisory Committee. The three committees' roles and membership are described below.
In 2017, the Staff Plan Governance Committee completed and approved a Strategic Plan (2017 to 2021).
