Agenda item

Report of the Students’ Union President (copy attached).

A report of the Students’ Union President concerning the Students’ Union (SU) constitution was considered. The SU constitution was last reviewed by the Board in November 2011 and since then discussions had taken place within the Students’ Union over the appropriate Cabinet Executive Committee positions within the Union.

The proposed changes had the support of the SU Parliament and the Senior Management Team.

Governors discussed whether membership of the SU should be on the basis of “opt in” or “opt out” and it was noted that the current “opt out” arrangements were consistent with other similar institutions.

RESOLVED – That the Board approves the amendments of the report for implementation for the forthcoming round of elections in May/June.
