Faculty Association Ibn Battuta is advised on different issues by the following advisory bodies:
Advisory Council
The Advisory Council was founded in 2003. As the name implies, the Advisory Council confidentially advises the board on many different aspects and policies. This includes advice on policies concerning sponsorship, alumni, divisions of committees, and many other things. The Advisory Council is also regularly used to explain older (unwritten) rules that are not necessarily clear to newer members. Most of the members of the Advisory Council have been active as board members of the Association themselves, others have specific knowledge that is useful and relevant for the board. There is always one member of the Advisory Council responsible for providing the board with legal assistance. Overall, the council provides a high degree of continuity for the Association and makes sure that the board has a place to go when things become unclear or difficult. The members of the council are established yearly at the third general members assembly of the academic year.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee supervises the financial policies and operations of the current treasurer. Their most important responsibility is to assess and approve the budget and the annual financial report of the board.
Committee of Recommendations
The Committee of Recommendations supports the goals of Ibn Battuta. These goals are aimed at orientating in the spatial sciences, stimulating sciences, and stimulating the social binding between the students of Ibn Battuta. The members of this committee have a warm heart for Ibn Battuta and support its activities.
