Committees

The committee system of the Faculty proved to be successful in terms of governance, efficiency, participation and the implementation of UP policy. An important factor to the success of the committee system is the fact that senior academics chair the committees. All departments have representation on committees and young members of staff are encouraged to serve on committees.
