As noted previously, Tyndale University College & Seminary and the Tyndale Foundation are required to file information returns with the Canada Revenue Agency every year. Below are the numbers as of April 30, 2018. Collected data for 2011–2014 is available here. This information is publicly accessible on the CRA website for charities and giving.
One trend that may be worth watching for Tyndale University College & Seminary is that while “Total revenue” and also “Management and administration” expenses are trending up, “Total compensation” is trending down.
Since almost all donations to Tyndale go through the Tyndale Foundation, it is also worth noting that the Foundation’s “Total revenue” is down 41% from 2015.

In 2012 the University of Chicago’s Committee on Freedom of Expression released their “Statement on Principles of Free Expression.” This statement is worth reading and considering how these principles can be applied to discussions of academic freedom/free expression at Tyndale.
You can find the statement here.

25 Nov 2015
One week ago the President of Tyndale University College & Seminary
announced that “a time for strategic visioning” had been
mandated by the Board of Governors. All who have an interest in
Tyndale’s future will therefore want to pay careful attention to
decisions taken by the Senior Administration and Board of Governors at
this time. This obviously includes, but is not limited to, all current
employees of Tyndale University College & Seminary.
TUCFA particularly encourages Faculty members to take careful notes, to
give input as appropriate, and to participate fully in any and all
processes that bear on the school’s “strategic visioning.”
In particular, TUCFA encourages all Faculty to attend today’s Annual
General Meeting (AGM) of the Corporation and Board of Governors. The
meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 25 November 2015, from 4:00 to 8:00
PM and is open to the public from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. It will be held
in the B. Stiller Boardroom unless a larger venue is announced.
As a reminder, the Tyndale University College and Seminary Act of
2003, which gives Tyndale royal assent to offer its degrees,
stipulates that “meetings of the board of governors shall be open to the
public and prior notice of the meetings shall be given to the governors
and to the public.” Further, “no person shall be excluded from a meeting
except for improper conduct as determined by the board of governors.”
The Board Chair does have the right to declare “part of the meeting”
confidential, and the agenda for today’s meeting states that
committee reports from 5:00 PM are to be in camera. However,
hospitality is available from 3:30 PM, so there is a window of
opportunity become familiar with Tyndale’s current Board members, and to
audit seven motions of the AGM. The President is also scheduled to give
an open report to the Board.

Note that future meeting may be subject to change. Tyndale is obliged to
give notice of its Board meetings, so one can either look for its
announcements or else confirm times and venues with the President’s
office.
