What is this Working Party Doing?

Last year the Executive Committee took on the major task of re-writing the constitution to make it shorter and easier to read. A lot of detail was taken out so that the Union was able to respond to the needs and desires of students without the students having to learn a lot of procedural details in order to be heard.

That constitution was agreed by the last Annual General Meeting.

A lot of the things which were taken out of the Constitution are still important, just not neccessarily as part of that document, which is the governing document of the Union. The Union is now going through a process of reviewing all of those elements which were not included in the revised constitution.

In order to do this the Union has set up a working party consisting of sabbatical officers and some staff. The group will come up with a range of operational recommendations and operational policies, which will go to the Executive Committee for their consideration.

Trustees

The following was agreed:

Allumni should not be excluded from recruitment as trustees, but we should not make specific efforts to recruit allumni. We should not recruit individuals who have been a student at Brookes within the last 5 years.

Staff of the University should not be recruited.

We should not recruit a Governor.

Staff of other Universities should not be recruited.

Trustees should be recruited by a mixture of personal contact and open recruitment.

We should look to recruit governors with specific expertise in the areas of Representation, Business Management, Finance and Marketing, though these should not be the determining factors as to whether an individual is recruited.
