The faculties and departments councils are advisory bodies whose mission is divided into several parts. On one hand, they are responsible for assisting the deans, heads of departments, and chairpeople in the fulfillment of their duties and play a key role in deciding on the academic courses that shall be delivered by the different units. On the other hand, each council assesses cases of course equivalencies that affect admissions, promotes cultural and scientific activities, and ensures that its members participate in scientific seminars and webinars.
On a didactic level, the responsibility falls on each council to foster quality teaching and learning within its faculty/department, ensure that faculty members are adopting modernized teaching methods, identify improvements that enhance the performance of faculties and departments consistently with the University strategic goals, and focus on strengthening collegiality among faculty members, thus allowing them to express diverse perspectives that enrich the discussions.
At the structural level, each council is chaired by the dean of the faculty or head of the department, composed of ex officio members, namely the dean and/or heads of the departments, and comprises full-time faculty members appointed by the deans and a representative of part-time faculty members elected to sit on the council. Meetings are held regularly, at least once a month, in accordance with a pre-established schedule set at the start of the academic year.
