The British Columbia University Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 468, states that a "university must be non-sectarian and non-political in principle" (s. 66(1)). The University Act further states that despite subsection (1), a theological college incorporated in British Columbia may be affiliated with a university under a resolution or order made by the Council of Senates and approved by the Board of Governors (s. 66(2) read together with s. 38.2(4)). At UBC, the four affiliated colleges have the right to representation of one member each on the Vancouver Senate.
The granting of affiliation means that the college meets the criteria for affiliation established by the University of British Columbia but does not imply any scrutiny or approval of the course offerings of the affiliate college by the Senate.
