It provides overall direction for the management of the University’s affairs and ensures the effective realization of its mission and vision. The Council evaluates management practices, implements major University-wide initiatives in alignment with the strategic plan, sets institutional priorities, identifies areas of strengths to build upon, promotes collaboration within and beyond the University, promptly addresses emerging challenges, and makes key decisions that shape the institution’s development.
