The is a series of documents that set out how decision-making authority is assigned and managed at 糖心传媒.

It includes the , , and other Council-approved  that define decision-making authority across the University.

The Delegations Rule is available in the .

A delegation is the authority given by the University Council to a position, committee, or body to make decisions on behalf of the University.

Delegations allow authorised roles to approve actions, commit the University, or exercise powers under the and other legislation.

Even when a delegation is assigned, the University Council still retains full authority and can exercise any delegation at any time.

You can find your delegations by checking in the Policy Library.

Delegations are assigned to positions, not individuals. This means if you are formally acting in a role, you take on the delegations attached to that position.

You can only exercise a delegation for matters within your own area of responsibility or your line management, and within the limits set out in Schedule A. 

No. You cannot pass a delegation on to someone else. This is called sub-delegation, and it is not permitted — only the University Council can sub-delegate.

For routine matters, you can authorise a staff member you supervise to exercise a delegation in your name. This is not a sub-delegation. It must be in writing on the Authorisation Form, cannot be used for decisions that require your personal judgement, and is subject to limits on value and staff level.

You remain fully accountable for the decisions of someone you authorise. The authorised person's act is treated as your act.
