The Board of Governors met on 12 November 2009.
As part of its on-going development programme, the Board of Governors had a pre-meeting briefing from the sabbatical officers on the current objectives of the Students’ Union.
The Board considered draft self-evaluation documents in respect of Academic Board and Management Board, as well as in respect of itself. It also considered the Human Resources Strategy Action Plan 2009/10.
The Board received a budget monitoring statement for the period ending 30 September 2009. It agreed Tuition Fees for 2010/11.
The Board considered a report on league tables and the National Student Survey, a report on Key Performance Indicators, and the annual report (2008/9) on the Framework for Amicable Issues Resolution, the Student Disciplinary Code and Procedures and the Public Information Disclosure (“whistle- blowing”) Policy. A separate bulletin "Listening to Students" has been posted in respect of the latter report.
The Board agreed an amendment to the terms of reference of Nominations Committee and agreed to proposals for revision of the Instrument and Articles of Government. It also noted requirements for registration with the Charity Commission.
