The Administrative Council monitors the implementation of the roadmap outlined by the UA Council. It provides general guidance for the conduct of the University’s affairs and ensures the effective fulfillment of its mission and vision. The Council evaluates the University's management practices, carries out major University-wide initiatives in line with the strategic plan, sets institutional priorities, identifies areas of strengths to build upon, promotes collaborations within and between institutions, promptly addresses unforeseen circumstances, and makes far-reaching decisions that impact the entire University community.
