Universities Law · Article 26

1.The college or institute council shall convene upon a call by its chairman at least once every month during the academic year. Council meetings shall only be valid if attended by at least two-thirds of its members, including the chairman or his designee from among vice-deans. Council decisions shall be passed by majority vote of attending members; in case of a tie, the meeting chairman shall have the casting vote.

2.Council decisions shall be effective unless contested by the university president within 20 days from the date of receipt. If contested, they shall be returned with the president’s comments to the college or institute council for reconsideration. If the council maintains its position, the decisions shall be referred to the university council to be reviewed at the first ordinary or extraordinary session. Such decisions may be approved, amended, or cancelled by the university council and its decision shall be final.
