Dear Colleague,

Welcome to CoCoGov Bulletin #2. We are happy to share that our group is growing. Since our first Bulletin went out, our distribution list has grown to 107 subscribers. Do you know anyone who might be interested? Please forward this email and encourage them to sign up here.

This communication includes a close look at schedule H of the agreement between Dalhousie University and the Province Nova Scotia mandating annual reviews of all Dalhousie programs, a note from our Governance Committee about the value of checks and balances in university governance, and, very exciting, a Save The Date for our planned town hall in February. We also included recent news pieces that are relevant to the topic of collegial governance.

Last but not least, for when you can’t seem to get any other relief from the general insanity around you, we share the first installment of ROTFL.

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for a healthy, happy, and peaceful 2026.

In solidarity, your CoCoGov Co-chairs Katja, Noreen, and David
