2nd June 2017
Lay Membership of Court We are recruiting for new lay Court members (from outside the university) and wanted to let students know about the process. The University Court, our governing body, collectively determines our future direction, monitors performance and aims to foster an environment in which our strategic aims are achieved and our students succeed. The University Court has a clear majority of lay Governors reflecting a variety of interest and experience, as well as staff and student Governors. Lay Governors are external to the University and cannot be either a current member of staff or matriculated student of the University.
Further details on membership of Court and details of how to apply is available from http://www.uws.ac.uk/about-uws/governance/court/becoming-a-member-of-university-court/
Should you be aware of anyone they think might be interested in membership of Court, please highlight this opportunity to them and invite them to apply.
If you would like to discuss this opportunity further or would like any more information, please contact Alison Loudon, Assistant Secretary to Court.

The University Court is the supreme governing body of the University; it has wide ranging powers, in particular relating to the strategic direction of the University, but has delegated purely academic matters to the Senate.
With a view to improving the understanding and engagement of students with the work of the University Court, the Chair of Court and the Principal are keen for students to attend meetings of Court as observers. Meetings normally last for around 3 hours and discussion covers a range of sector wide issues together with strategic issues currently facing the University. In addition the meeting will also consider reports from a variety of sub committees of the Court.
The next meeting of the Court will take place on Tuesday 25th April, at 4.00pm, on the Hamilton Campus. If you are interested in attending a meeting of the Court as an observer please email Sharon Cosh Sharon.cosh@uws.ac.uk Please note spaces are limited.
