Editing Trinity College, Toronto (section)

==College governance==
Trinity College was incorporated under an act of the [[United Province of Canada]] in 1851, and granted the privileges of a university by a [[Royal Charter]] of [[Queen Victoria]] of July 16, 1852. The college federated with the University of Toronto under an agreement of 1903, and its present legal status as a federated university is governed under The University of Toronto Act, 1971, as amended. Governance at Trinity College operates according to the College Statutes and regulations, first consolidated in 1982 and substantially revised in 1996.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/TrinityCollege_Statutes_Amended_2013_10_24_Final_AC.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2020-06-05 |archive-date=2020-06-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200605160510/https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/TrinityCollege_Statutes_Amended_2013_10_24_Final_AC.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In its early years, governance at Trinity College was essentially dominated by Bishop [[John Strachan|Strachan]], who held a statutory [[veto power]] over the then-[[unicameral]] College Council.<ref>Westfall, William. ''The Founding Moment.'' McGill-Queen's University Press, 2002, p. 27-38.</ref>

Today, the highest governing body at Trinity is the College Corporation. The Corporation presently consists of over 500 elected and statutory members, including alumni, faculty, staff, student leaders, the [[Bishop (Anglicanism)|Anglican Bishops]] of Ontario, and representatives from each [[Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario|Diocese]]. Corporation meets biannually, and receives reports from the Provost and chairs of other College bodies, such as the board of trustees and the Senate. Corporation also formally elects the College Chancellor, Provost, Secretary, and the ceremonial Public Orator and Esquire Bedells.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/governance/corporation/|title=Corporation}}</ref>

The College Senate and Board of Trustee are under the authority of the corporation, and meet regularly to oversee the governing of the college. The Board of Trustees sets the college budget, approves academic appointments, sets student residence fees, recommends a candidate for Provost to Corporation, and is generally responsible for all business and affairs of the college not vested in the Senate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/governance/board-of-trustees/|title=Board of Trustees}}</ref> The Senate is primarily responsible for approving academic courses and programs to be offered by the college, as well as maintaining policies for student life, safety, and admissions.<ref name="auto4">{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/governance/senate/|title = Senate}}</ref>

The Council of the Faculty of Divinity is a committee of the College Senate, and is responsible for all advising on all matters relating to the Faculty of Divinity.<ref name="auto4"/>

===Chancellors and Provosts===
The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the Trinity College. They chair meetings of the corporation, and hands out degrees at the Divinity Convocation. The Chancellor is elected by Corporation for five year terms, may be re-elected without restriction, and must be a member of the [[Anglican Church of Canada]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/chancellor/|title=Chancellor}}</ref>

The Provost lives in College in a designated "Provost's Lodge."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/provost/|title=Provost}}</ref>
