board makes recommendations to the Education Committee and to the Academic
Board and through the Academic Board to the Council of the university.
The faculty also has a number of committees including an executive committee,
undergraduate and graduate studies committees and committees for research,
library, technical and computer services, budgets, quality assurance, equal
