An institution as rich and complex as UCL requires governance that takes account of the university’s history and traditions, the diversity of its activities, and the essential principle of subsidiarity. Four entities direct the university’s management.
Board of Governors
The Board of Governors is made up of the Archbishop of Mechelin-Brussels and residential bishops of Wallonia. The Archbishop of Mechelin-Brussels, who is also the University Lord Chancellor, chairs the council. (Excerpt from University Basic Regulations, Article 5.)
Mgr A.-J. Léonard, Archbishop of Mechelin-Brussels, Chair, University Lord Chancellor
Mgr G. Harpigny, Bishop of Tournai
Mgr J.-P. Delville, Bishop of Liège
Mgr R. Vancottem, Bishop of Namur
Administrative Council
The Administrative Council is responsible for managing the university and representing it vis-à-vis third parties in accordance with the law of 12 August 1911. It manages the university’s estate and finances; guarantees the execution of legal, regulatory, contractual and statutory provisions applicable to the university’s organisation and operation; and accepts donations to the university.
