Academic Council

Academic Council is the senior decision-making body on academic matters within the university. On matters of academic policy, it makes the final decision; on some matters, it recommends to Senate.

Every meeting has substantive debate on some major educational issues, usually following reports from committees. Council meets eight times a year, on Wednesday afternoons.
