The Governance of the College
Full details about the governance of the College and how the Governing Body and College Council operates are found in the Annual Report and Accounts in the section on Corporate Governance.
The Governing Body meets four to seven times per year and it elects the College Council and supervises its work.
The College Council meets nine times per year and deals with all matters of College administration not reserved to the Governing Body. Information not deemed to be sensitive is contained in the unreserved minutes of the Governing Body and College Council which are published on the College website.
Reports to the Governing Body and College Council, minutes of other committees and reserved minutes of the Governing Body and College Council are not available under this scheme but may be released on request if the College is satisfied that no exemption under The Freedom of Information Act Part II sections 21-44 applies.
Consultation of Staff and Students
Students are represented on the major committees of the College, and informal non-minuted meetings are held on a regular basis between College officers and JCR/MCR representatives.
The College’s Staff Liaison Committee provides a forum for staff to offer feedback, make suggestions and give input on the running of the College as relevant to them. Minutes of these meetings may be obtained by emailing foi@sid.cam.ac.uk.
Appointment committees and procedures
Please see the College Statutes and Ordinances for procedures relating to appointment of academic staff.
Staff and academic vacancies are advertised on the College website as they arise.
