What, exactly, will change if Malaspina gains university status?
Not much will change, immediately, in our day-to-day operations. We will maintain our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning, our services for students, and our comprehensive range of programs – Trades/Vocational, Developmental, Career/Technical, and University Degrees. What will change, however, is the legal and public acknowledgement of our degree-granting status, which will allow us to continue to build, grow, prosper and compete with other similar institutions. Later, we will inevitably have to consider issues common to universities that we have not faced to date, such as a Senate, and rank and title; however, we will approach these issues in the knowledge that we are very comfortable with the way Malaspina operates right now.
