Committee Reports
The Board received verbal updates on the committees from the Chairs or their representatives.
The re-named University Teaching Quality Committee will present a report at the next Board on the Review of the Regularity Framework.
The University Recruitment Committee has met for the first time since confirmation and clearing and has reflected on this year’s performance.
A review of governance arrangements has identified a gap in the end-to-end governance of the student experience; A Student Experience Committee will therefore be established to fill this gap.

The work to define the Terms of Reference will consider which groups could be disbanded or activities stopped as a result of establishing the committee.
