University Council
The Council is the supreme University body and has legal responsibility for all University appointments and promotions, resources (financial, material and physical) and for the maintenance of standards within the University.
The Chancellor is head of the University and chairs at least one meeting of Council annually. In the absence of the Chancellor, the Council is chaired by the Pro-Chancellor. The membership consists of representatives of a wide crosssection of the Jamaican society including commerce and industry, the Alumni Association, local and regional educational institutions, staff unions and the Students’ Union, professional societies and the Government. The Chancellor also has a representative on the Council. Much of the Council’s work is carried out by committees. The standing committees of the Council are Finance, Governance, Audit and the Student Appeal Board.
