Governance As a public university, IIUM has a ceremonial head called the constitutional head who presides over convocations and serves as the point of reference for all constitutional issues. Equivalent to the chancellor in other public universities, they are appointed by the King on the recommendation of the federal government for a term of seven years. Ahmad Shah of Pahang was the founding constitutional head since 1 July 1983. Before his death, he was replaced by her daughter-in-law, the current Queen, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah. She was made the constitutional head on 12 April 2019 for a five-year term, ending her father-in-law's chancellery in IIUM for 36 years, but the instrument of appointment was only presented to her by the federal government on 17 June 2019. As a federal statutory body, IIUM operates under the supervision of a board of governors, a body that directs and supervises all affairs of the university. The board is chaired by a president who is appointed by the constitutional head on the advice of the federal government for a five-year term. By tradition, the secretary-general of the Ministry of Education is deputy chairman of the board. Other than the president and a deputy chairman, the board comprises 15 members, including the secretary-general of OIC and diplomatic heads of member states, i.e. Bangladesh, Egypt, Libya, the Maldives, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Mohd. Daud Bakar, an Islamic finance expert in Malaysia, sits as the eighth and current president since 1 July 2019. The board of governors is assisted by a senate, a body that provides for academic and student affairs of the university, and a management committee that oversees the day-to-day operation of the university. Both the Senate and the management committee are chaired by a rector who is appointed by the constitutional head on the advice of the federal government for a three-year term.
