Individual schools have broad authority over their internal affairs.
Virtually all other internal matters are delegated to the schools. In the Law School, the law faculty has the ultimate authority and responsibility for faculty appointments, admissions, allocation of financial aid, curriculum, student discipline and all other matters of academic policy. The faculty also advises the Dean on issues of resource allocation, management of the physical plant and composition and supervision of the staff. The Associate Dean responsible for the law library, oversees all aspects of the library, in consultation with the faculty. Although the faculty retains the authority to act as a body on all issues within its purview, it has delegated most of its authority to Law School committees, which are appointed by the Dean on the advice of the elected Administration and Finance Committee.
