Central Asian University (CAU) is committed to ensuring transparent, accountable, and inclusive academic governance. To achieve this, the University has established mechanisms that guarantee participation of both academic staff and students in decision-making processes. Two main collegial bodies – the University Council and the Student Council – serve as the foundation of CAU’s governance model.
This structure ensures that institutional decisions are taken with consideration of both academic expertise and the voice of the student body, reflecting CAU’s principles of inclusivity, diversity, and accountability.
