Editing Uppsala University (section)

===Central administration===
The governing board of the university is the [[wikt:consistory|consistory]], with representatives of the faculties as well as members representing the students and non-academic employees (three professors and three students), and ten university outsiders appointed by the [[Swedish government]]. All these members in the consistory have the right to vote.

The unions active at the university also have three representatives in the consistory; these members have the right to speak but not any right to vote.

Since the last reorganization in 1999, the university has had a separate body called the ''academic senate'', which is a wider, but mostly advisory group representing teaching staff/researchers and students. The executive head of the university is the ''rector magnificus'', whose deputy is the ''prorector''. There are (also since 1999) three vice rectors, each heading one of the three "disciplinary domains" (Arts and Social Sciences, Medicine and Pharmacy, and Science and Technology) into which the nine faculties are divided. Each faculty has a faculty board and is headed by a [[dean (education)|dean]] (''dekanus''). The position of dean is held part-time by a professor of the faculty.
