Academic Council
Five university wide committees and four Faculty Boards report to Council which oversees their work through summary reports, monitoring their minutes and through items referred by the committees for consideration.
Some areas of authority are delegated to Council by the Governing Body and Council's Executive Secretary provides a regular written brief to Court on items of academic significance raised at Council.
