Changes to Elected Officers
Voting YES for Changes to Officers will cast your approval for splitting the CCW role into three individual positions for Chelsea, Camberwell, and Wimbledon, and rename the current College Officers to College Organisers.
This will take the current Union Affairs Officer (responsible for UAL-wide governance, communications, and external contacts) and the Student Communities Officer (responsible for clubs and societies) and split their responsibilities across the entire team.
The purpose of this change is to provide equal representation to all Colleges while also strengthening the link between elected representatives and students. Supporting our groups and communities will no longer be one officers' responsibility and governance workloads can be better shared across the team.
Current Structure: Six Full-time Elected Student Officers with portfolios made up of four college and two issue-based:
Full-time Positions | Officer Responsibilities |
Union Affairs Officer | Link Officer for central university committees, services and communications, external contacts and stakeholders such as NUS. |
Student Communities Officer | Link Officer for students involved in clubs, societies, liberation and students of circumstance work. Supporting and undertaking campaigning and lobbying work with and on behalf of different communities of students within UAL. |
Central Saint Martins (CSM) Officer | Each College Officer provides a link for their college, undertaking campaigning and lobbying work targeted towards students studying across their site. |
