Decisions of the academic council shall be passed by majority vote of attending members; in case of a tie, the chairman shall have the casting vote. 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 academic council for reconsideration.

Such decisions may be approved, amended, or cancelled by the university council and its decision shall be final.
