 Section 4 of that Act specifically states that an object and purpose of the university is"to further bilingualism and biculturalism and to preserve and develop French culture in Ontario", and "to further ... Christian principles".Despite that law, these parts of the university's mandate are now arguably superseded by the 1982 "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms", which constitutionalizes multiculturalism (not biculturalism) and freedom of religion.The university operates the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute (OLBI).
