About this statute

This Act controls how Universities and College Universities are established, governed, and disciplined, and it sets offences for unauthorized institutions and misuse of the titles “University” and “College University”. The provision says Universiti Malaya is treated as a university under this Act, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong may exempt or modify application of the Act for a university or college university on the Minister’s advice, and Ordinance No. 74 (Emergency Powers), 1971 is repealed. This part sets out how the University Board and Senate make rules, manage finances, publish instruments, appoint staff, admit students, and oversee student bodies.
