Academic Council
The Academic Council is the body that supports the Rectorate and the Foundation Council in carrying out their missions. It ensures the participation of all representative groups within the institution in decision-making processes, particularly the student body, the mid-level academic staff, the faculty, and the administrative personnel.
It adopts, for submission to the Committee of the Foundation Council:
- the guiding principles,
- the strategy,
- the regulations,
- the multi-year plan,
- the budget,
- the annual report for validation by the Assembly of Founders, as well as other reports.
The Academic Council participates in the governance of the university institute, notably by giving its opinion on the performance agreement with the Canton of Valais and on general institutional matters.
It takes part in the appointment of members of the Rectorate and validates the composition of the selection and standing committees.
It carries out the tasks assigned to it by the Foundation Council and may in turn delegate certain tasks to the Rectorate.
Its meetings take place at least once per semester.
