Common use of Consulting with Students Clause in Contracts

Consulting with Students. The University of Brighton understands the importance of consulting with students on the design of our access agreement and also directly involving students in the implementation and monitoring of its access measures. Students are represented on the major University committees, including its Board of Governors, through Brighton Students’ Union sabbatical officers, and therefore naturally participate in the consideration of our widening participation policies and practices as they develop. Within our previous Access Agreement arrangements, this ongoing dialogue has resulted in the University directly funding Student Union activity to support the retention of under-represented groups and we expect these activities to continue and flourish in 2015. The University is also working with the Student Union on a general model for monitoring and evaluating this type of activity to ensure consistency in both areas. To consult on the 2015 Access Agreement specifically, we also arranged a number of meetings with the Students’ Union in the lead up to the submission on 1st May 2014. As the three areas of outreach, retention and bursary activity develop across our yearly Access Agreements, we expect this dialogue to continue, in particular in understanding the long-term impact of our joint initiatives.
