The Council ensures the autonomy of the University and self-governance of the VU community corresponding to the University’s long-term goals and experimental, social, cultural, and technological development, as well as the responsibility to the nation and the State of Lithuania, openness, and accountability to society. Together with the Senate and the Rector, it is responsible for the quality of the University activities. In accordance with its competence established in the Statute, the Council monitors compliance of the University activities and governance with the VU mission, objectives, tasks and principles of activity, general academic interests, and the requirements for openness and accountability to society established in the Statute.
The Council consists of 11 members and serves a five-year term: five members are from the University’s academic staff, four – external (non-University community) members, and two – VU students’ representatives.
