Education Student Liaison Committee

Scope

The Education Student Liaison Committee is a University Executive Liaison Committee governed by Regulation 17(c).

Regulation 17(c) states that:

The purpose of University Executive Liaison Committees (ELCs) is to focus on an area of activity which operates across the spectrum of the University as a whole, including academic and non-academic matters. Issues may be raised which are relevant to different committees, both Senate and Council, or which may be taken forward without any further approval.

The constitutions of ELCs should be such that those actually working within the area of activity covered by the ELC are members, and so far as possible should be able to agree actions to take forward as part of their executive operational activities. Where further approval is needed for proposed actions, procedures or policies, the ELCs have the right to seek such further approval as appropriate, whether from a University committee or from the Vice-Chancellor's Management Committee.
