University Leadership Group
Purpose
The University Leadership Group (ULG) is a forum to bring senior leaders together from across the organisation in order to:
- discuss strategic priorities for the university (e.g., co-create strategic (core) plans)
- share details of, and advise on, major developments (e.g., cost of living response)
- share good practice (e.g., strategy engagement with teams)
- discuss and co-create innovative solutions to complex issues facing the organisation (e.g., how to increase international student recruitment, broad prioritisation of capital expenditure)
- provide opportunities for collective leadership development
Interactions with University Executive Board (UEB) and other governance structures
ULG and UEB
- All members of UEB are also members of ULG.
- Items which have been discussed and approved in principle at ULG but need an executive decision will be passed to the UEB.
- The UEB may refer items to ULG for wider consultation or endorsement.
Senate and Council
- The Vice-Chancellor chairs ULG and will report key issues into Senate and Council via his regular updates.
- The powers reserved for Senate & Council, including those already delegated to other committees, are unaffected by the creation of the ULG.
Other governance groups
- The formal committee structure delivers governance and assurance and is unaffected by the creation of ULG.
