1. the implementation of the Act and the national policy on higher education;
2. race, gender and equity policies;
3. selection of candidates for senior management positions;
4. of conduct, mediation and dispute resolution procedures;
5. of an institutional culture which promotes tolerance and respect for fundamental human rights and creates an appropriate environment for teaching, research and learning; and
6. language policy of the University.

The institutional forum may perform such other functions as determined by the council.
