► ULU Executive Officer Role

01/02 Policy

Valid AULUC 2007

 

ULU EXECUTIVE OFFICER ROLE

Proposed by ULU Executive Committee

 

THIS UNION NOTES

 

1.        that the officers of the Union are the President, the Vice-Presidents, and no more than fourteen non-sabbatical officers, whose titles and duties are laid down by the Union Council

 

THIS UNION BELIEVES

 

1.         That the nature and job-descriptions of non-sabbatical officers allows and empowers them to concentrate on a more specific remit than the sabbatical officers whose remits are necessarily much broader

 

THIS UNION FURTHER BELIEVES

 

1.        That the current exception to the above is the Sports & Societies Officer, whose job description directly duplicates responsibilities which are undertaken by Sabbatical Officers on a full-time basis.

2.        That this does not empower the Sports & Societies Officer to act in an effective capacity.

3.        That this issue is a possible direct cause of the recent resignation of the Sports & Societies Officer.

4.        That this resignation presents an opportunity to pro-actively review & re-assess the role of the Sports & Societies Officer, in order that Council is served as effectively and efficiently as possible by its elected officers.

 

THIS UNION RESOLVES

 

1.        To suspend the By-election for this position, in order that the role can be reviewed.

 

THIS UNION MANDATES

 

1.        Governance Committee to fully review the role of the Sports & Societies Officer and any constitutional and/or regulatory amendments that a change of role might entail, and to make proposals to ULU Council at the earliest possible time.

2.        Sports & Societies Committee to designate an alternate chair for and from within the Committee until such time as this process is completed.
