(1) The Senate must establish for each faculty a standing committee of the Senate known as a faculty board.

 

(2) A faculty board may determine its own composition, subject to approval by the Senate in terms of clause 19(3)(h), but a faculty board:
(a) may only include permanent or full-time staff members and students;
(b) must include all permanent academic staff members (i.e. professors, associate professors, senior lecturers, lecturers and junior lecturers), subject to subclause (3);
(c) must provide for representation of administrative and support staff and students; and
(d) must be representative of the faculty having regard to race, gender and disability.

 

(3) If compelling practical considerations make it difficult to include all permanent academic staff members as contemplated in subclause (2)(b), a faculty board may provide for any of the categories mentioned to be represented by members elected from their ranks.
