Q1 Does your university have student members on all governance bodies as a matter of principle?
Q2 If student membership applies only to some governance committees, then please provide membership category, rationale or any other relevant information.
Q3 To what extent do you monitor or ensure diversity of backgrounds amongst student representatives? If you have members on these committees, are they nominated by the Student Guild/Union or drawn from expression of interest processes?
Q4 Do you provide financial support to students on these bodies ie do you pay or compensate student members for their time involved in serving on these committees?
Q5 Do you provide other supports for students on committees eg allowing this to be used as grounds for academic concessions such as extensions?
