Governance and management
UniSA
was established by the University of South Australia Act 1990 and its
associated statues and by-laws (see
Legislation). The Act was amended in 1996, following the McGregor Review
of university governance in South Australia.
The governing authority is the Council, which is chaired by the Chancellor,
Dr Ian Gould, who is the honorary titular head of the University. Council is
supported by a number of committees, including Academic Board (see
University Council).
The Vice
Chancellor and President, Professor Peter Høj, is the University’s chief
executive, with responsibility for its overall management and
administration. The Vice Chancellor is appointed by Council and is delegated
a range of powers and functions. Support is provided by nine
senior
managers – four with responsibility for academic Divisions and five with
responsibility for coordinating portfolios. This structure was adopted in
1998.
The divisional Pro Vice Chancellors are assisted by two academic Deans and a
Division Manager. The eight Research Institutes and 13 administrative units
are each headed by a Director.
