Faculty Council

Responsibilities and procedures

The Faculty Council is responsible for all matters concerning the Faculty of Theology that do not fall within the remit of the Dean or another faculty body. In particular, the Faculty Council advises on matters of fundamental importance. The committee consists of voting and advisory members chaired by the Dean (see KU Basic Rules Section 21 (1 et seq.)).


Motions to the Faculty Council or other requests can be submitted in writing or by e-mail at any time, but ideally at least eight working days before a meeting, to the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Theology.
