Student Liaison Committee

The Student Liaison Committee (SLC) was established as a result of the Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) legislation. The need for an ongoing, formalised opportunity for students to meet directly with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor was considered valuable and necessary.

Committee membership

  • 2 students (1 first year and 1 third year student) nominated by each Faculty, annually;
  • 1 or more Postgraduate students nominated by each Faculty, annually;
  • 1 student nominated by the International office, annually;
  • Students nominated by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor following Expressions of Interest;
  • Staff members, as and when required, at the discretion of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor.

Functions

The function of the SLC is to:

  • provide a forum for the expression of students' views about the University's facilities and operations;
  • establish a platform through which feedback can be provided and improvements can be discussed;
  • provide student input to the development of policies, surveys, questionnaires and services;
  • actively promote a positive student experience at the University; and
  • inform the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of emerging issues.

Meetings

Meetings are co-chaired by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Greg Hill and the Director, Student Services, Eva-Marie Seeto.  An email is sent to all students prior to each meeting asking them to submit agenda items to a Committee representative. 

Agenda items are discussed at the meeting and appropriate action decided upon.  Minutes from the meeting and a list of action items are emailed to Committee representatives, who then report back to students.  Any outstanding action items are followed up at the next meeting.  Some of the issues covered by the Committee have included: the availability of computers on campus, the provision of noticeboards on campus, safety of students and staff and recycling.  Students are urged to contact a Committee member if they have any issues that are of concern.

An email calling for Expressions of Interest in joining the Committee is sent to all students at the start of each academic year.
