16.2.4 BAU Stakeholders Advisory Board
Bahçeşehir University Stakeholder Advisory Board
At Bahçeşehir University, local stakeholders, including local residents, local government, and civil society representatives, are actively involved in the decision-making processes of the university through well-established mechanisms. Each academic unit, as well as the university as a whole, operates with stakeholder advisory boards that are shaped by principles of inclusivity and diversity. These advisory boards, composed of various local actors, play an integral role in providing insights and guidance for decision-making.
The advisory boards meet regularly, in accordance with the university’s quality assurance systems, which are clearly defined within its institutional mechanisms. Through these meetings, stakeholders contribute to the governance and strategic direction of the university, ensuring that their perspectives are considered in shaping policies and decisions. This participatory approach strengthens the university's relationship with its community and reflects a strong commitment to stakeholder engagement at all levels.
In the following section, information about the university's stakeholder advisory boards can be accessed, including links directing to the lists and relevant pages of both the university-wide and individual academic units' stakeholder advisory boards.
