Each member of the Swiss Higher Education Council has one vote. In addition, representatives of the Cantons have a specific number of points determined on the basis of the number of students. The allocation of points is decided in the Intercantonal Agreement on Cooperation in Higher Education.
The decisions of the Swiss Higher Education Council require:
a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes of the members present;
approval by the Confederation; and
the simple majority of points.
Instead of the rule established in paragraph 2, the Cooperation Agreement may provide for a simple majority of the members present in the case of procedural decisions and official stances.
