Council of the Onsi Sawiris School of Business

About the Council

The council acts as both a governing and advisory body for the school. It is comprised of a representative council consisting of the school’s faculty, students, and staff to ensure their participation in the school's governance and their inclusion in the decision-making process regarding issues that affect them.

The council serves as a focal platform for the dean, who is a non-voting member, to discuss important issues with the school community and to share updates and new school initiatives.

The council meets six to eight times annually to discuss, advise on and resolve pivotal issues concerning the School of Business, such as policies, academic programs, students and faculty affairs and intellectual contributions.

The council is supported by five operational committees:

1. The Faculty Affairs Committee
2. The Academic Governance and Policy Committee
3. The Research and Grants Committee
4. The Budget Committee
5. The Assessment of Learning Standing Committee

To ensure the functionality and effectiveness of the council, the council is governed by bylaws that are updated regularly to reflect new policies and committees.
