Council is the University's chief executive body, with statutory responsibility for the administration of the University (both academic and other) and for the management of its finances and property, as well as dealing with the relationship between the University and all external bodies. Council submits legislative proposals and resolutions to Congregation for approval, and has the power to make regulations (which may be opposed in Congregation). Council meets three times a term, and twice in the Long Vacation. It has a number of committees (including Education Policy and Standards, General Purposes, Personnel, and Planning and Resource Allocation), on which its members are expected to serve if invited to do so. Full details of Council's remit, composition, functions and powers can be found at: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/statutes/783-121.shtml

The Curators of the University Libraries are responsible, under Council, for the safe keeping, preservation, orderly administration, finance, and general policy of the collections, libraries, and other units within the Oxford University Library Services. Full details of the Curators' remit, composition, functions and powers can be found at: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/statutes/regulations/520-122o.shtml They are expected to ensure that provision is made for the University's library and information requirements for teaching and research and that the University's major research libraries are maintained as a national and international scholarly resource. The curators have control of a substantial budget.

The Visitatorial Board is responsible for making recommendations to the Vice-Chancellor (or other appropriate officer) on serious disciplinary cases involving members of the academic or academic-related staff. (It does not have responsibility for dealing with incapacity on medical grounds or complaints against the Vice-Chancellor himself of herself.) Further information on the board can be found at: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/statutes/regulations/248-062.shtml Four members of the board, as from time to time constituted to consider an individual case, are selected by lot from a panel of twelve persons selected by Congregation. The board is chaired by a person with professional legal experience who is appointed by the High Steward of the University. Under the provisions of Council Regulations 36 of 2002, as amended on 27 June 2003 (Gazette Supplement (1) to No. 4630, 24 June 2002; Vol. 133, p.1465, 27 June 2003) candidates for election to the Visitatorial Board Panel may be nominated by Council as well as by members of Congregation.
