How does the Academic Senate work?

All the faculties of Charles University are represented in the Academic Senate which consists of 70 members (34 of which are students). The term of office of senators is three years.

At present, there are seven committees established in the Senate, where the senators work on specific tasks – e.g., they approve the budget and decide on the management of the university, adapt internal regulations, deal with the quality of studies, the quality of dormitories and canteens, innovations in the information technology services of the university and many others. Apart from its regular agenda, the Academic Senate also elects the candidate for Rector of the university once every four years.
