Council
Composition, membership, powers and responsibilities of QUT Council are governed by the QUT Act 1998 (see MOPP Appendix 1). Procedures for regulating the University's committee system, including conduct of business by Council, are detailed in Council Procedure 1 — Committees (see MOPP Appendix 2).
QUT Council comprises senior members of the professions for which QUT prepares graduates; appointees from higher education, government, commerce and industry; elected staff, students and members of Alumni; and the University’s chief executive officer. Council is responsible for the good governance of the University.
Council is empowered to establish committees and to delegate power to committees or officers of the University. While Council is ultimately responsible for the management and operation of QUT, it has delegated authority to the chief executive officer, the Vice-Chancellor, and to various senior administrators of QUT for much of the day-to-day management of the University (see MOPP Appendix 3). Council has also established a number of committees, some of which have been authorised to make decisions in respect of prescribed policy and procedural matters.
