Council is the governing body of the University, made up of members of University staff and lay representatives. It is there to ensure that the University is being managed effectively and legislative commitments are being met. All members of Council are expected to ask probing, searching questions in relation to these matters and to satisfy themselves that the responses are sound, confident and consistent.
