High number of governing bodies Heavy bureaucratic machine with little room for manoeuvre Single-person and group governing bodies Election of representatives varies according to sphere of action Composition of Social Boards depends on laws of each Autonomous Regional Community Rector elected by University Governing Council or through universal suffrage among all university members
