Queen’s and the Ontario government have finalized the university’s latest Strategic Mandate Agreement (SMA) and it is now available in full on the Ministry of Colleges and Universities website.

SMAs are a key component of the province’s accountability framework for all post-secondary institutions in Ontario. They outline the government’s objectives and priority areas for the higher education system, outline performance-based funding details, build transparency and accountability objectives, and establish targets and objectives for the next five years, through 2024-25.

Queen’s finalized SMA follows close to a year of consultations and negotiations between the province and an internal working group at Queen’s.
