University Council?has commissioned a review of our governance?documentation, the first major review since 2010.
The way in which our?University?is formally organised and managed is detailed in?what is called the University Calendar. This brings together our Charter, Statutes, Ordinances and Regulations.
These?documents?cover a wide range of activities?–?from the appointment of Senior Office Holders and how our degrees are awarded, to?when our students graduate?and the colour of?their?gowns.
Why are we changing?
- The way our students and staff access information has changed radically since we last reviewed our governance.
- 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载?operating environment and?the?regulations?we are bound by have also changed significantly in the past decade.
- Some University processes are unclear and overly complex.
- We want to provide transparency about how our University is governed.
- We know that the current University Calendar format is difficult to access, navigate and understand, with a mix of Word documents, PDFs, links and specialist language.
What will the project deliver?
- Greater clarity and transparency about how we operate and are governed?–?the?right?people making appropriate decisions at?the right?time.
- A refreshed suite of governance documentation that is easy to access, understand, navigate and search, with a clearer description of how decisions are made.
