Bye-Laws and Strategy

 

 

Our Strategy

 

Our Strategy was researched, designed and now implemented with student consultation. We identified the following themes by working with our students to shape our service provisions for them.

 

Our Rule Books

Bye-Laws and articles of association

The bye-laws and Articles of Association set out the rules on how we run as an organisation, and what different powers and responsibilites various student groups and representatives have. The bye-laws can be reformed by the Trustees and by Student Council working in tandem. If you'd like to reform the bye-laws, get in touch with your course rep, school officer or one of the full time officers to discuss bye-law changes, or email su.democracy@uos.ac.uk
