Whilst the Chancellor is the titular head of the University, it is in practice led by the Vice-Chancellor, currently Prof. Hugh R. Brady, who is the University's Principal Academic Officer and chief executive officer. He is supported by a team of three Pro Vice-Chancellors: Profs. Nick Lieven, Nishan Canagarajah, and Judith Squires; the Registrar (Robin Geller) and a Deputy Registrar (Lynn Robinson) (). There are also three Pro Chancellors, but their roles are purely ceremonial, deputising for the Chancellor when he or she is unable to attend. From September 2008, there will also be a Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Prof. Guy Orpen), who will stand in for the Vice-Chancellor on all matters when the latter is away from the University. There are four organs of governance in the University. A brief overview may be found (here ). ==Council== Council comprises 32 members〔(Bristol University | How the University is run | Governance: how the University is run )〕 with a lay majority and appoints its own Chairmain from among the lay members. The members are the Vice-Chancellor, the Pro-Vice-Chancellors, the Treasurer, 15 lay members elected by Court, a member appointed by Bristol City Council, a member appointed by the Society of Merchant Venturers, a member appointed by Convocation, 4 members of the academic staff, 2 members of the support staff and 3 students. Elected and appointed members serve for renewable three-year terms. The University Council is the supreme governing body of the University. It alone has the power to make changes to the University's Charter, Statutes and Ordinances and make the necessary recommendations to the Privy Council. The only exceptions to this are academic ordinances which Council may only make or amend with the consent of Senate, and changes to the constitutions of Court and Convocation which require approval from Court. If Court withholds consent, then after one year Council may impose the changes without Court's consent. The ceremonial officers of the University (the Chancellor and Pro-Chancellors) and the Treasurer are nominated by Council for approval by Court. The senior executive team of the University and the Professors are appointed by Council, after consulting Senate. Council may also institute or abolish any academic post, with Senate's consent. Honorary degrees are awarded by Council on nomination by Senate and Council recommends to Court the award of honorary fellowships. In fact, all degrees are awarded by Council, but for the most part this is after the approval of the relevant Board of Examiners and/or Degree Committee. Council is also ultimately responsible for the legal and financial affairs of the University and is, for example, the formal employer of all staff. The Council also holds Senate to account. It meets usually 6 times per year, and is advised by a large number of (Committees ), some jointly formed with Senate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Governance of the University of Bristol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
