How the institution is organised
Information about the management structure of the
institution, including a description of the Statutory Bodies
and the organisational structure together with a description
of the work of each unit and the names and responsibilities
of key personnel.
It is also
expected that terms of reference, membership and description of all boards
and committees would be provided.
It should
include faculty and department structures and identify senior personnel.

to contact phone numbers and email addresses

the university has responsibility for, those it works in

sufficient for the purposes of identifying the relationship
between these bodies (such as business, the professions and
the community) and the university.
