The University of Pennsylvania
is a non-profit corporation chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. Under the Charter the Trustees are charged with the ultimate
responsibility for the course of the University. The administrative management
of the University, on the other hand, is delegated by the Trustees to the
President. The University's Faculties participate in the decision-making
process through two major bodies advisory to the President and administration
-- the University Council and the Faculty Senate. Non-faculty employees
and students also participate with the faculty in the University's governance
through their membership in the Council and in an extensive number of advisory
groups and committees.
Organizationally the University is divided into twelve schools. Each school is under the direction of a Dean. Some schools are further subdivided into departments. |
