About University Council

The University Council is the legislative body of the University which consists primarily of faculty and administrators, making a membership of more than 800 individuals. University Council meetings are held at least once per semester, and provide an opportunity for the President and the Chair of the University Senate to provide an update to the campus community.

The University Council has served since 1961 as the legislative body for the University of North Dakota. The legislative authority of the University Council is vested in the University Senate.
