The General Council Business Committee
The General Council Business Committee
The General Council is a statutory body comprising all graduates and academic staff of the University of Glasgow. It plays a role in the governance of the University.
The General Council works through a Standing Committee called the General Council Business Committee. It acts on behalf of the General Council in matters within its powers, including those delegated by the University Court or Senate. The Business Committee makes representations to the Court on Ordinances and Resolutions. The Convenor of the Business Committee reports to the General Council at statutory Half-Yearly General Council Meetings.
