Administrative history
The Senate of Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, was created in 1966 when Mount Saint Vincent College became Mount Saint Vincent University under Bill 85, granting the University a Charter. Some of the Committees that are now standing committees of Senate do predate Senate, such as the Student Affairs Committee and the Committee on Academic Policy and Planning. The Senate is responsible for the academic policy of the University and regulates the academic programs of the University. The size and membership of the Senate, and the terms of office of its members, are determined by the by-laws of the Senate, subject to Section 8 of the University Charter. Voting members are the President; the Academic Vice-president of the University; the Administrative Vice-president of the University; the Deans; the University Librarian; the Registrar; faculty members elected by the faculty; students elected by the students and such other persons as the Senate from time to time determines. The Chair of Senate is the University President. Senate meets on the last Monday of each month throughout the University session. These meetings are generally open to the University community, subject to limitations including special considerations of confidentiality. All Senate standing and ad-hoc committees report directly to Senate.

Scope and content
The Executive Committee is a standing committee of the Mount Saint Vincent University Senate, originally formed in 1969. The committee currently consists of the President, as Chair, the Vice-President (Academic) and the Secretary of Senate (non-voting). It also consists of four faculty members of Senate on a rotating basis, and a student Senator. The faculty and student members are all elected. The functions of the Executive Committee include preparing the agenda for each Senate meeting, and acting between regular Senate meeting on matters of an administrative nature which would normally come to Senate but which require immediate decision. Such decisions are ratified at the Senate meeting immediately following.
Series forms part of the Mount Saint Vincent University Senate fonds and consists of agendas, minutes, background material and correspondence generated by the Executive Committee when coordinating the activities of Senate (1970-1997). Also consists of one sub-series: Tributes Committee (1991).
