This research project aims at defining thetasks and activities that make up the role of a(school) faculty director in a public Mexican university.It attempts an ordering of informationclearly perceived as a pattern of activities, followinga model proposed by Mintzberg for thispurpose. The results of the analysis do not adequatelycorrespond to the model, possibly becauseof cultural differences, but it did allow for theidentification of certain activities which could beimportant to the direction of an academic schoolor faculty, if the university permitted another focusin relation to this figure.
