Governance Structure
The LSE Council, as governing body, is responsible for determining strategy and its members are company directors of the School. The Court of Governors deals with some constitutional matters and has influence in the School through pre-decision discussions on key policy issues and the involvement of individual governors in the School's activities. Alan Elias chairs both bodies.
The Academic Board is the principal academic body, which considers all major issues of general policy affecting the academic life of the School and its development. It is chaired by the Director, with staff and student membership.
There are a number of committees of the Council, Court and the Academic Board, and others, which are advisory to the Director. See the Structure of School Governance [PDF]
Charitable status / Articles of Association
LSE has charitable status because it holds the dual status of a company limited by guarantee; and an exempt charity since 1 June 2010 the School has been regulated for charitable purposes by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. See also the Articles of Association and the School's Bye Laws.
