What this bill does

This bill amends The University of Winnipeg Act to restructure its Board of Regents, reducing membership from 36 to 21 members, introducing term limits, and requiring new governance by-laws covering conflict of interest, open meetings, and annual presidential performance reviews.

Plain-language summary by Legisail — not legal advice.

Business impact

Compliance
This bill primarily affects the University of Winnipeg as an institution and the individuals who sit on its Board of Regents — including academics, alumni, students, community members, and government appointees. It does not directly regulate private businesses or commercial activity. Organizations that interact with the university — such as community groups, Indigenous organizations, or alumni associations — may be indirectly affected through changes to board composition and appointment processes. The practical day-to-day impact on outside businesses is minimal, as the changes are internal governance reforms to a public post-secondary institution in Manitoba.
