Do you know the structure of University of Ibadan Governance?

4. The Faculty Board

Each Faculty is governed by a Faculty Board, which broadly controls the academic programme of the faculty subject to Senate approval. Although Senate is the supreme academic parliament of the University, in order that it may not be overburdened by details, a good deal of its functions is delegated to the Faculty Boards; the Vice Chancellor and the Deputy Vice Chancellors are statutorily members of each Faculty Board. The Chairman of the Faculty Board is the Dean of the Faculty who is elected for a specific period of time (one or two years as the case may be) normally from among the professors in the particular faculty. Part of the functions of the Dean is to present to Congregation for the conferment of degrees, persons who have qualified for degrees of the University at University examinations held in the various departments within his faculty.

The quorum of the Faculty Board is three (or the whole number nearest to one-third), of the total number of its members, whichever is greater.

6. Congregation

 Congregation is the general assembly of all graduate members of the University staff, both academic and non-academic. The Vice Chancellor is its Chairman, and the Registrar its Secretary. The Congregation has the general function of serving as a forum for discussing any University problems or issue and has direct access to make recommendations to Council and Senate on the two bodies on which it is represented.

 The quorum of Congregation is one-third, or the whole number nearest to one third, of the total number of members of Congregation.

7. Convocation

Convocation is the body comprising all the graduate members of staff as well as graduate alumni of the University. Like Congregation, the Chairman of Convocation is the Vice Chancellor and the Secretary is the Registrar. Convocation is represented on Council but not on Senate. It has powers to discuss general University affairs and to make recommendations directly to Council on any matter. The quorum of Convocation shall be one hundred.
