Process of Appointment

The responsibility for reviewing the memberships of the committees of Senate and Council lies with Nominations Committee which conducts an annual review of Committee memberships for recommendation to Senate and Council. Nominations Committee also has a responsibility for ensuring that there is an appropriate balance of skills, expertise and experience on each of the committees, and will make recommendations to Senate and Council on this basis, taking into account any recommendations arising from discussions with the chairs of those committees.

The process of review is led by the University Secretary, who is responsible for the overall effectiveness of the University’s governance changes, supported by Governance and Executive Support and the network of other committee secretaries.

The responsibility for reviewing the memberships of sub-committees normally lies with their parent Committee. Please contact the secretary of the committee for further information.

All expressions of interest from those who meet the necessary criteria will be considered in discussions with the chair of the relevant committee.

Regretfully we cannot therefore guarantee that the submission of an expression of interest will necessarily lead to appointment.
