Corporate governance

Corporate governance supports all governance activities at UTS.

Corporate governance aims to ensure that the business of the university conducted through its main decision-making bodies is facilitated in accordance with the UTS Act, UTS By-law, General Rules, standing orders and relevant Council resolutions and committee constitutions.
