Factsheet

Responsibilities of the Steering Group

The Council Effectiveness Review Steering Group has been set up by the University Council to:

  • consider the recommendations of the Halpin Review of Council Effectiveness and related governance issues
  • review representations from the University community
  • investigate practices at other institutions, and consider options and practical implications
  • make recommendations to Council for actions to be taken
  • oversee the implementation of actions agreed by Council and report back to Council on any concerns arising

Progress of the Steering Group

The first meeting of this group was held on 5 July and it discussed the remit and working arrangements for the group. The Steering Group is not a decision-making body but will report back on its discussions and recommendations to Council.

Council, as the University’s governing body, will make the final decisions.
