Madeline resigns chair-

Election for returning officer- Madeline Stanley (LMH) no declarations

I ran election, some problems. If any of you think you could have done a better job, ron me. I did my best to up hold standing orders.

Rachel cummings (somerville) how many hours sleep have you had in the last week?
Not very many

Becauee I think I will do an ok job

Council reports:
Lewis Iwu (new) thanks exec. Madeline, DRO's and elections Committee.

Madeline Stanley (LMH) more details on constitutional changes

Katherine Terrel (St Hildas) Who's job to update?
    Presidents. New structure address that, makes sure it looks at documents being updated.

Martin- ALSO PARTLY MY JOB

Andrew Scott-Tagget (wadham) no one turned up. Road show
    Elections delayed everything, appologise

Joel Mullan (St Peters) Ed Batty, how soon will he be leaving?
    I want to say thanks to him, he has been fantastic. He is leaving to go back to his studies. Getting in someone temp, until we can get someone long term. Ed has been so successful most of the fundraising for this year has been done. Got someone in place for temp, then going to advertise for both positions once maria returns.

Paul Dwyer (Keble) VP Boring. Lots of meetings. University is looking at feed back. QAA institutional audit. Some changes, but no changes to the reccomendations. University angry, no backing down.

Andrew Scott-taggert (wadham) ripped apart?
    Afraid it makes them look like they don't do anything for anyone. By pointing it out, we are saying not good enough for those students who fall through the gaps. Afraip od being ripped apart by the audit.

Alex Morcon (Univ) Greater integration between access schemes in oxford.
    Too many different schemes. Next term we can work along side. We are the only student run. At the moment no one knows where to go.

Jakc Wellby (Jesus) Met with Richard Jarman, 60% salary pay. Review every year. RAG been brilliant. Raised £3000 by street collections. Ethical christmas presents.


Da Lowe (teddy Hall) long term funding for C and C?
    Good relationship and support. Hefce funding now moving into educational committee. Convince it is more than just tutorials, its about students in the community.

Joel Mullan (peters) who is responsible?
    Survey into timing of council- issues raised science students and grad students can't come. Delayed making decision, committee structur perfect time to review whole situation- can then move council

VP Welfare

Didn't know talking today/. Lots done with SAS- new student advisor. Job description was fuzzy- no guidence- so have been fitting Lisa(sA) into SAS- so she will deal with both long term and the very short term things. Which is fantastic. But it has been taking a while to adapt. Going really well, lots of casework, other sabs doing well too. Get in touch. Welfare committee is working well, especially as both MCRs and JCRs together. Swapping to every two weeks. One thing that has come up is getting phone numbers on the back of bod cards. Start a petition if not, as university is dragging feet. Furhtermore looking at mental health week- needs a committee, held on monday, come along. Changing how training is done, but seemed to be unpopular this term- instead as short blasts of training instead of one long hog.

Equal oppertunities- LGBT council chair elected, and a new one is getting elected tonight. Will send out on PresList. Students with disabilities also going well.

NO QUESTIONS.

Rachel Cummings (Somerville) harassment talk. Lots happening on access, sexual abuse, study skills and union.

Katherine Terrel (St Hildas) letters to ox stu?
    One, lots of quotes though

Andrew scott-taggatt (Wadham) women only study skills, offensive?
    Run finals forum. Won't appeal to everyone, important we have them,
Kaushal Vidyarthee (Wolfson) admissions, funding, and supervision. Online admissions process. Incorporating college advisors. International students festival. Mature students going well. PGA, review committee set up

Elections, RO, Madeline stanely 56, RON 12

Chair Martin Nelson 59 RON 6 SBV 1

Dan Lowe (teddy Hall) college green league table. Report on it. Good luck to my successor. Ethical bizzare

Claire Duffy Regents Park Whay aren't we on the league table?
    One report back from, saying that all we did was paper recycling, bursar ignored. So we left them out because it was negative.

Adam- thanks to OUSU reps. Meetings are great. If not involved please email me and join list. Working on database of CR officers. Congrats to Jack.

Dom Wienberg (baliol) talking to colleges about housing. Anyone who hasn't heard anything from me, please get in touch and get some living out guides.

Madeline Stanley (LMH) Ro report to council. Reiterate that I believe that we ran a free and fair elections. UVCs used server, didn't quite work, used a second one. One member answering UVC emails the entire time. If it hasn't happened then simple human error, and very sorry.

Rebecca Morgan Pemboke. When did you find out they hadn't gone through?
    Sent them out monday night. Which takes time. Found out, did something about it. Stayed in office and sorted it.

Alex bulfin (Univ) obscure emails
    Our lists came from university. Had email address on which people registered. Often but not always herald accounts. Can't amend it.

Dan Lowe (teddy hall) use online again?
    Not commenting until report submitted.

No husts

Motions Nem Com.

Publicity- passes nem commenting

Exams books- opposition

Sudan divestment- passes nem com.

Exam regs- Dan Lowe (teddy hall) in propostion- environment panel, domestic bursars have policy on it. Only person with problem is OUP. 90% doesn't apply to you, it is online, you can find everything there. The regulations are highly complex jargon, waste of paper and ink and energy.

LI(New) why hasn't it been scrapped?
    Never brought up before. Rep of conference of colleges, help up book, reached unanimous agreement.

Adam McIvor (Jesus) which version applies to you
    PD regulations that apply to you, first few chapters general, after that only bits apply to your course. Regulations of year you matriculate

Kaushal Vidyarthee (wOLFSON) protors?
    Haven't approached them yet

John Griffiths (Magd) updates?
    PD only apply to the next year.

Sourav Choudray (LMH) subject specific?
    Departments do that

Katherine Terrel (Hildas) Any requirement to print?
    No

PD (Keble) opposition: different regs are going to need  to be online for each year, access if no internet


Amendment: mandate VP CC any online form are fully publicised to all students upon arring at oxford (friendly)

Move to debate.

Jack Matthews peters, agend only printed on one side
    printer physically incapable to print on both sides. No time to go and put everything on double side

Alex Wolfram (Univ) no prof that someone has gone on line to read them. #
    exam regs handed to you, but conduct regs aren't

PD just because students given exam regs doesn't mean they've read them. If we made sure they got a piece of paper with the address on it, going to save paper.

Amendment: counsel resolves 4, to make available 4 copies of each year exam reg in every college library

Dan not accepting as firendly, excessive

Jon colclough: proposition, 4 copies not excessive, given earlier questions.

Dan: happily agree to to,

Dan makes friendly amendment of 2 copies in library.

PD opposes- 4 is fair number, ug, grads tutors etc who may need it.
 
AM- agrees with paul. Copy in library only there so you can say that they have received not that anyone has.

JW- exam of how committee structure will help council

Move to more vague- available on request

DL dangerous because exam regs only apply to year matriculate. No time 4 people need access to paper copy.

Move to vote on amendment:
4 copies in each college library each yearhave four

Summary DL- waste of resources to
PD- reasonable number, useful to have a written copy.

For:18
Against: 23 Amendment fails

Friendly on 2 seconded by jack

Lewis, add dep so college and library, and bodlian, friendly

Move to vote on entirety of motion. Fail

Friendly to remove purely and put in mostly,. Seconded

move to vote:
PD opposition I support
DL for. Vote green
passes

Sudan motion:

Joseph Piper (Worcester) Sudan bombed city. Wants to not support companies which support the war. So be more careful in investments
