A series of other bodies, the Council of Administration, the General Council, the Administrative Board, and the General Administrative Board were also believed to have worked with the University Senate in a similar capacity. However, it is not known if each of these bodies was a separate entity with a unique name, or if they are all the same body called by various names, or if the advisory body's name was officially changed periodically.
