Suggested Governance Structure

The director of the ILC chairs an advisory board.  Recommendations from the advisory board are just that, recommendations; therefore, there is no need for majority votes or consensus.  Because the dean is a member of the advisory committee, she will know how things are going and whether or not the advisory board has concerns.

Membership of the advisory committee would include the following:

  1. Faculty member from Computer Science
  2. Faculty member from Engineering
  3. Faculty member from Management
  4. Faculty member elected or appointed from Faculty Creative and Critical Studies
  5. Representative from Accelerate Okanagan or local industry
  6. Representative from UBC O Centre for Teaching and Learning
  7. Derek Gratz – Associate Director, University Industry Liaison Office (UILO)
  8. Dean – Faculty of Education or delegate
  9. Graduate student – elected or appointed from IGS PhD program
  10. Graduate student – elected or appointed from Faculty of Education masters program
  11. Representative from regional school district

The director of the ILC reports directly to the Dean of the Faculty of Education, and prepares a regular report for all Faculty of Education Council meetings. Annually, the Director will  prepare a report  which will be tabled first to the ILC Advisory Committee who will approve, ask for revision, accept, or reject.  Director will address the concerns from the advisory committee and submit a revised copy, if required, to the Dean which will be shared with the Faculty of Education before being sent to the Provost of UBC Okanagan.
