1.4 Delegation
Council is empowered, under Section 11 of the QUT Act, to establish committees and to delegate power to committees or officers of the University. Council established a Schedule of Authorities and Delegations to assist it in discharging its role, and to ensure that there is understanding of the responsibilities and reporting requirements delegated to officers of the University and committees.
The Schedule of Authorities and Delegations is reviewed annually and identifies the responsibilities which Council either may not, or has chosen not to delegate. Council may not delegate its duties in relation to the annual adoption of a budget and the approval of the spending of funds available to the University by way of bequest, donation or special grant.
