In 1906, UNB established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors exercising exclusive control over financial policy and other matters. The president, appointed by the board, was to provide a link between the two bodies and to provide institutional leadership. At this time, the university had 156 male students, 21 female students, and only eleven academic staff, who were all male.<ref>Dominion Bureau of Statistics, ''Canada Year Book 1921'', Ottawa, 1922.</ref>

In 1964, a second, smaller campus was established in [[Saint John, New Brunswick]]. The growth of the UNBSJ campus is particularly notable, for the campus began with only 96 students spread throughout various buildings in Saint John's central business district. In 1968, UNBSJ moved to its new home at Tucker Park.

In 1968, the university's governance structure was reorganized with the aim of giving faculty members control of academic affairs. The UNB Act of 1968 led to the formation of two governing bodies, both chaired by the president. The Board of Governors, whose role was to oversee and give guidance to president as "chief executive officer" was to have four faculty representatives, while the majority of the Senate was to be made up of faculty members elected by their peers.<ref name = Kent>{{Cite book| publisher = Formac| isbn = 978-1-4595-0148-5| last = Kent, Peter C.| title = Inventing Academic Freedom: The 1968 Strax Affair at the University of New Brunswick| location = Halifax, NS| date = 2012}}</ref>{{rp|50}}

The [[Association of University of New Brunswick Teachers]] (AUNBT) was established in 1954; in 1979, this association became the bargaining agent for all full-time academic staff, and in 2008, it achieved certification for contract academic staff.

Throughout the 20th century, the University of New Brunswick held annual [[convocation]]s during the month of October. One of the more notable convocations occurred on October 8, 1957 when [[United States Senator]] [[John F. Kennedy]] attended as a [[guest speaker]] and was the recipient of an honorary [[Doctor of Laws]] degree. His younger brother, [[Robert F. Kennedy]], attended another convocation on October 12, 1967, where he delivered the main address and was granted the same degree as his brother.<ref>{{cite news |title=When the lads of Camelot came to visit province |url=https://da.tj.news/viewer?opub=Daily_Gleaner&date=20001014&page=14&filename=0504_DG_A046685 |access-date=18 September 2023 |work=Daily Gleaner |date=October 14, 2000 |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923170524/https://da.tj.news/login |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Relocation of the Faculty of Law====
{{Main|University of New Brunswick Faculty of Law}}
In 1959, the Faculty of Law moved from Saint John to Fredericton following a report on the status of legal education in Canada by Professor Maxwell Cohen from McGill University, claiming that the Saint John Law School was only "nominally a faculty of UNB". This prompted Chancellor [[Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook|Lord Beaverbrook]] and UNB President [[Colin B. Mackay]] to permanently move the Law School despite the Dean's objections.
