Academically, t he University is comprised of six schools-Social Sciences, Education, Applied Sciences and Tech­ nology, Humanities, Sciences and Mathe­ matics, and Business and Economics. They offer 145 programs of study from the associate degree through a joint doctoral degree. Almost 50 per cent of the faculty holds earned doctorates.

The two other seats are held by elected faculty and student representatives who hold full voting rights.
