General Board of the Faculties
Student Representatives: Peter Coulthard (undergraduates), Katherine Linder (graduates)
The student representatives are elected by a cross campus election, organised by the University and usually held at the end of Easter Term. Although they are often CUSU or GU officers, they therefore serve in their personal capacity.
To contact your representatives, get in touch with the CUSU Offices
The principal duty of the General Board (as it is usually abbreviated) is to advise the University on educational policy and to control the resources necessary for the proper implementation of that policy. It is responsible for maintaining a high standard of teaching and research, and for ensuring that University teaching officers satisfactorily perform their duties and fulfil their conditions of appointment.
In recent times the General Board has become much involved in national programmes of assessment and evaluation of teaching and research, and with important initiatives in the area of equal opportunities.
