Governing Bodies
The governance of ETSIAMN is the responsibility of the Center Board and a Director, who is assisted in his or her duties by the Deputy Director and Head of Academic Affairs. The collegial governing bodies of the ETSIAMN School are: the Center Board and the ETSIAMN Standing Committee. All members of the management team, led by the School Director, constitute the single-person governing bodies.
Collegial Bodies
School Board
The School Board is the School’s highest governing body. It organizes and oversees teaching, class assignments, and schedules; approves curricula; approves the School’s budget; and so on. It is composed of faculty and researchers (PDI), administrative and support staff (PAS), and a group of students elected by the entire student body of the School. All members of the Board are affiliated with the School.
Standing Committee
The School Board establishes the Standing Committee, which is composed of the same types of members but in smaller numbers. The Standing Committee is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the School; it meets more frequently and addresses issues such as requests from faculty and students, the recognition of elective credits, and so on. All significant matters proposed by the Standing Committee are brought before the School Board for approval.
