Academic Assembly
We are a statutory body representing academic staff in the governance structure of the University.
We discuss and declare opinions on any matter relating to the University. This can be any matter referred to us by the Senate, and we submit resolutions to the Senate according to section 22.4 of the Statutes.
The full responsibilities of the committee are detailed in the terms of reference.
At its meeting on 30 October 2019, Academic Assembly passed this resolution regarding declaring a climate emergency.
