Senate
The 番茄社区 operates under the authority of the University Act and is governed by a Board of Governors and a Senate.
Under the University Act, the Senate is responsible for the academic governance of the university, including matters related to libraries, faculties, departments, courses of instruction, fellowships, scholarships, exhibitions, bursaries, prizes, admissions, student appeals and the granting of degrees.
The Senate delegates authority on some matters to its 12 standing committees. Ad hoc committees may be struck to address issues falling outside of the authority of the standing committees.
