Program Committee Tilburg School of Catholic Theology
The Program Committee (PC) of Tilburg School of Catholic Theology (TST) is an important participation body and has students and lecturers from the various study programs as members. The Committee is tasked with advising on promoting and ensuring the quality of the program.
With respect to the Education and Examination Regulations (EER), the PC has the task of giving or not giving consent to a number of sections of the Education and Examination Regulations, and offering advice in sections where there is no right of consent.
Each semester, the PC evaluates the education based on student evaluations. Furthermore, the Committee issues solicited or unsolicited advice to the Board of the program and the Dean on all matters concerning education in the program in question. The Committee sends its recommendations to the School Council for information.
The election of Council members is done by secret written ballot. Voting for a section of the Council shall takes place only if the number of candidate members of a Council section exceeds the number of seats for the benefit of that section.
The Council elects a chair and one or more vice- chairs from among its members or otherwise. The chair, or in his/her absence a vice-chair, represents the Council in legal proceedings. The Council establishes rules of procedure for the affairs of standing orders.
