 Trent Appeal Court Dissent Highlights Threat to Autonomy
At Trent, the wording of the act establishing the university in 1963 clearly empowers the senate to be a check on unbridled powers of the board in overseeing academic and educational policy.
Therefore, Justice Sharpe's arguing that Trent's board and president exceeded their powers, and that the powers of the senate should be respected becomes the ground for a vital defence of the independence of academic integrity and freedom within the universities.
In the oral arguments, lawyers for the university indicated they saw their interpretation of such powers as permitting the board to close a specific department, such as the English department, or presumably to interfere with academic freedom issues involved in the appointment or promotion of faculty members.

 Trent University Strike Settled   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The Trent administration's response to recent cuts in revenue from the provincial government was to disproportionally load the consequences on to the budget for full-time faculty.
The strike support at Trent was solid, in part because most academic staff recognized there had been no serious negotiations on the part of the administration during the eight months when the parties were trying to settle the collective agreement.
It seemed to many on the academic staff at Trent that some members of the board of governors were simply interested in revenge for the 1991 strike and settlement and did not care that their intransigence might well cost the students their term.

 The Nottingham Trent University and Griffith College Dublin, Overseas Partnership Audit Report, April 2000
For example, the University's Verifier, who had been appointed, had yet to make her first scheduled visit to the College, and the College's first ACR was not due to be received by the University until after the end of the present session.
The University is aware that the appointment of external examiners possessing the necessary familiarity with academic standards in UK higher education, particularly in the case of overseas partnerships, demands its close attention to their selection and support.
The University uses a two-part approach to checking that the proposed arrangements are satisfactory: in the first part the institution itself undergoes a process of approval while in the second the programme of study is subject to a validation procedure.
