Meetings of CUSU Council

CUSU Council is held every other Monday during full term, usually starting at 7.15pm. The venue is normally the Small Exams Hall on the New Museums Site.

Lent Term Council Meetings:

The next Council, Lent IV, will be held on Monday 11th March in the Small Examinations Hall, New Museums Site. The agenda will be published here shortly.

CUSU Council is CUSU's decision-making and policy-setting body. The voting members are the JCR and MCR Presidents and External Officers of all affiliated College student unions, an elected student representative from each Faculty, and various representatives of the CUSU autonomous campaigns. It is the body which the CUSU Executive reports to and is held to account by, and as part of this the Executive must submit termly reports on their activities to the Council.

Any student can attend CUSU Council, propose motions and amendments and participate in debates.

CUSU Council is the governing body of CUSU, though not for the Autonomous Campaigns, and normally there are four Councils in each Michaelmas and Lent, and two in each Easter. Extraordinary Councils may be called by the Chair if requested by 16 members of Council, three Sabbatical Officers or two Executive Teams.

Council may be over-ruled only if its policy is found to be illegal, or by a referendum of the entire student body. If you have queries about this, please see the page regarding legality.

If you have any questions about the agendas or papers for Council, please contact the CUSU Chair. If you have any queries about minutes, please contact the Secretary.
