The process of creating a new code of governance for Scottish Higher Education is reaching its final stages.

The process of creating a new code of governance for Scottish Higher Education is reaching its final stages with the publication this week of a draft document.

The Code has been commissioned, at the request of the Cabinet Secretary for Education, by the Committee of Scottish Chairs (CSC). This group is comprised of the Chairmen or Senior Governors of the governing bodies (or Courts) of all higher education institutions in Scotland.

It follows substantial consultation and evidence-gathering across the university sector. A further 8-week consultation period will end on 11 June 2013. The aim is to make Scotland’s university sector one of the most accountable and transparent in the world.
