In a sign that Concordia University’s internal politics is getting more tense by the hour, its senate has sent ambassadors to its board of governors to ask the university’s highest governing body to establish a committee to look into the governing structure of the university.

The senate (which bills itself as the university’s highest academic body) is peeved that the board (the body so powerful it appoints its own members) is asserting too much power.

The board chair, meanwhile, hasn’t agreed to setup a task force to take away his own power.
