The '''University of Winnipeg''' ('''UWinnipeg''', '''UW''', or '''U of W''') is a [[public research university]] in [[Winnipeg]], Manitoba, Canada. It offers undergraduate programs in art, business, economics, education, science and applied health as well as graduate programs. UWinnipeg's founding colleges were [[Manitoba College]] and [[Wesley College, Winnipeg|Wesley College]], which merged to form United College in 1938. The University of Winnipeg was established in 1967 when United College received its charter. 

The governance was modelled on the provincial [[University of Toronto]] Act of 1906 which established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate (faculty), responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors (citizens) exercising exclusive control over financial policy and having formal authority in all other matters. The president, appointed by the board, was a link between the bodies to perform institutional leadership.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last1=Robson |first1=Tom W. |first2=Marnie |last2=Hay |title=University of Winnipeg |encyclopedia=[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]] |date=4 March 2015 |publisher=[[Historica Canada]] |edition=online |url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/university-of-winnipeg}}</ref>
