programs and courses of study that will lead to the award by the Council of a
degree, diploma, certificate or other award relating to a program or course of
study.

(2) The Academic Board is responsible for ensuring that recognised teaching
institutions account to the Board for all academic matters relating to courses
of study and programs offered by the institution that lead to the award by the
Council of a degree, diploma, certificate or other award relating to that
program or course of study.

(3) The Council or the Academic Board may require a recognised teaching
institution to provide any of the following information relating to academic
programs or courses of study provided by the institution-

   (b)  the qualifications and experience of staff of the institution teaching
        the programs or courses of study;

(4) The Council, on the advice of the Academic Board and in accordance with
the regulations, may revoke the recognition of a teaching institution, if it
is of the opinion that the teaching institution should no longer be recognised
for the purpose of providing academic programs or courses of study that lead
to the award of degree, diploma, certificate or other award by the Council.
