Working Party on the Review of the Effectiveness of Senate

During the 2012-13 academic year, the Working Party has undertaken a piece of work to consider the functions of Senate sub-committees and propose a new sub-committee structure. At its meeting on 24 April 2013, Senate considered an interim report from the Working Party, which set out the work to date in considering and preparing recommendations for a revised structure and a timeline and structure for a University-wide consultation process to take place during the summer term. The final recommendations on the revised sub-committee structure will be presented to Senate for consideration and approval in June 2013 to enable the new arrangements to come into effect on 1 August 2013.

The draft proposals, as considered by Senate in April and more information about the structure of the consultation process, are set out in a consultation document, which can be accessed here using your University username and password. Please send any comments by e-mail to: senate@essex.ac.uk, so they may be collated for consideration by the Working Party. The deadline for responses is 5pm, Friday 24 May 2013.
