was established to address the challenges facing the CUT in the changing Higher Education Environment. The IF must ensure that
the institution succeeds in stimulating, directing and using the creative and intellectual energies of the broader CUT community.
The IF integrates the institutional responsibilities of academic and executive management, which is to provide strategic analysis
and appropriate institutional policy and procedural advice to the Council, the Principal/ Vice-Chancellor, Senate and the
Management Committee of the CUT.
The Senate is the primary forum in
the CUT for the discussion and resolution of academic matters and for developing for transmission to Council policies and
procedures on academic affairs and on the academic aspects and implications of any business coming before the Council.
The Management Committee
(MANCOM), comprising top management staff members, functions in an advisory capacity to the Principal/Vice-Chancellor.

matter referred to it by a member, in consultation with the Vice-Chancellor, as well as the management of projects.
