Leadership in the Governance Structure

PNG UNRE’s 2018 governance and management documentation places the Vice Chancellor, Pro Vice Chancellor (Academic), Pro Vice Chancellor (Planning & Development), Registrar, and Bursar in the university’s formal governance and management structure.

  • The governance structure identifies these offices directly under the university leadership framework.
  • The management structure shows them as part of the senior management team.
  • The operational structure assigns each office major institutional responsibilities.
