Faculty Council Sessions
The council convenes at least once every two weeks, upon the Dean’s invitation or a written request from
one-third of the members, or as requested by the University Council or its president. Council sessions are
legal if at least two-thirds of the members present in the first call, or an absolute majority in the second
call. Decisions are made by an absolute majority. In the event of a tie, the Dean’s vote finalizes the decision.
The Secretary General of the school is responsible for recording the minutes, signed by the dean and
members.
Applicants have various options to obtain decision notifications:
- They can check the decision status by reaching out to the Secretary General through phone calls or in-person visits.
- Upon request, decision updates can be communicated via email.
- Applicants have the option to appoint a representative for communication purposes.
- Applicants maintain the right to obtain a copy of the Faculty Council decision section relevant to their request.
Faculty Council Role
The Faculty Council plays a vital role in decision-making processes concerning academic programs, faculty appointments, and other faculty-related matters. Its responsibilities encompass various aspects such as formulating the faculty's strategic plan, proposing curricula changes and research contracts, nominating staff for appointments and promotions, and recommending outstanding students for specialization scholarships. The council also discusses the results of exams, proposes projects and affiliations, and suggests grants and donations. Additionally, it has the authority to review decisions made by the Dean and department heads, ensuring compliance with approved laws and regulations.
Faculty Council Annual Report
The council's annual report, prepared by the Dean, is presented to the University President in February each year.
