As communicated to the community on Sept. 4, the provincial government has given a number of universities, including Brock, a mandate to perform third-party sustainability reviews funded through an Efficiency and Accountability Fund.

Today, Brock received approval to move forward with the third-party reviews with consultants KPMG. The provincial government mandated areas of review are: revenue-generating opportunities, collaborative procurement opportunities, physical assets and facilities, academic programming, and university governance, administrative and student services.

These reviews are aimed at identifying actions institutions can take to increase long-term sustainability and must be completed by the end of March 2025.

Details and updates about the sustainability reviews — including opportunities for stakeholder engagement — will be made available on a new sustainability reviews web page.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lesley Rigg                                                         Dr. Arja Vainio-Mattila
