Status: Completed
Officer Responsible: Academic Affairs Officer
Summary
By having one only on faculty officer per faculty it should mean all students are represented as posts wouldn't be unfilled.
Details
There are currently 6 Faculty Officer positions, FELS UG, FELS PG, FASS UG, FASS PG, FBAPS UG and FBAPS PG. I propose to combine the roles into 3 and have only one officer represent each faculty.??For the academic years 19/20, 20/21, 21/22, 22/23 there has not been a time where all 6 posts have been filled. In only 1 of these 4 periods was there a PG and UG representative for 1 faculty. Having unfilled roles doesn't look great and it can also mean that some students don't feel represented as they don't have a Faculty Officer. There have been times when a UG faculty officer has chosen to represent PG when that post is not filled, by combining the roles into one the representative would have the means, resources and support to represent all efficiently
