Governance

The Association of Commonwealth Universities is governed by its member institutions through an elected council.

There shall be up to 23 Council Members consisting of 20 Elected Council Members, up to 2 Co-opted Council Members and, if the Honorary Treasurer is co-opted rather than elected, the Honorary Treasurer.

The Council may co-opt a maximum of two Co-opted Council Members if it concludes this is desirable to ensure balanced geographical and gender representation of the Council and one additional Co-opted Council Member if the Honorary Treasurer is not appointed from the Elected Council Members.
