The Senate is the academic authority of the University which, subject to the powers of the Council, is responsible for promoting the academic work of the University both in teaching and research. The Council has the ultimate authority, but it must respect the views of the Senate in academic matters.
The purpose of the Open University Students Association’s Senate Reference Group is to act in an advisory capacity to the student members of Senate and, to ensure that the student members of Senate have the benefit of a face to face forum in which they can draw on the diversity of circumstances, views and opinions of students.
Senate Reference Group volunteers play an important part in The Open University Governance structure and make positive contributions at the meetings that take place four times a year on campus in Milton Keynes. As an SRG Volunteer, you would need to be able to read complex papers in advance of each meeting and raise items as and where appropriate - and speak on matters affecting students and the Open University.
Closing date: Monday, 16th September at 12 noon
You will need to be available to spend up to five hours on campus approximately four times a year, with reasonable expenses paid. You will also need to access online discussion forums prior to each meeting.
To be successful in this role, you will be required to complete online training which will take approximately two hours and attend a day of face-to-face training on campus in Milton Keynes.
You can do approximately 25% of this role from home as you prepare for meetings. Attendance for the meetings will be required on campus in person.
