These records relate to the application for and approval of university charters for research centres and institutes at SFU. Centres and institutes are non-departmental academic or administrative units developed under the auspices of SFU to facilitate collaborative research and specific types of teaching. They are established by a university charter, application for which is reviewed by the Governing Committee for Centres. Charters are granted at the discretion of the Board of Governors upon a recommendation from the President. Charters continue in force until revoked by the President.
RRSDA is in force.
