General Assembly elections
06 Mar 2017
Nominations sought for number of vacancies
The General Assembly is a 200-strong governance body that represents staff, students and other principal stakeholders in the University. The main purpose of the General Assembly is to act as a two-way channel of communication through which the University presents its achievements to its broader constituencies, and receives feedback and advice on matters relating to University business.
A number of appointments to the elected category of the General Assembly membership held by staff (full-time or part-time) with paid, superannuable appointments at the University will terminate on 31 August 2017.
Colleagues are advised that nominations are now being sought for election to the following numbers of vacancies within the electoral groups indicated:
- Academic and research staff: 2
- Academic-related (excluding research) staff: 2
- Other staff: 5
Only staff members elected to the General Assembly in this category are eligible to seek election to the University’s governing body, the Board of Governors. If required, these elections will be held later in the academic year.
