The new council members come from diverse constituencies, including academic staff, support staff, and government representatives.

High Court Judge Lawrence Tweyanze administered the oath of secrecy, integrity, and commitment to the new council members. He stressed the importance of collective responsibility, confidentiality, and seeking God’s guidance in their work.
According to University Secretary Mr. Arthur Katongole, the new council members were selected through a formal process, with different organs submitting names to constitute the full council of 24 members.
The seventeen sworn-in members include Prof. Eli Katunguka Rwakishaya (Vice-Chancellor), Prof. Maria G.N. Musoke (Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Academic Affairs), Assoc.
