Steering Committee Report

1. Please note the time and venue of this extraordinary meeting of Council called by Steering Committee. A prompt start is essential as the meeting has to end at 2.15pm
2. The resignations of the non-sabbaticals may not be withdrawn. According to the constitution (14.2.7) new non-sabbaticals will be elected at this Council.
3. With regards to the sabbaticals. On inspection of their contracts, Standing Orders and Constitution, I felt legal advice was necessary in the matter. As [the DP Finance] was the only impartial member of the Executive left, I requested his assistance in finding a solicitor. The result was that as the President employs the sabbaticals they may withdraw their resignations from him in their four week period of notice. As he also employs himself (which I do not believe to be good practice in any form of contractual employment) he may withdraw his own resignation from himself.
4. Elections - NUS delegation, DSU President, DSU sabbaticals. If expenses have been submitted by the start of this meeting of Council the election results may be ratified.
5. There are no minutes from the Council at Hild/Bede basically because Steering Committee has not got them all at present, as [Steerer] has not submitted those minutes she took before resigning. They will be available at a later meeting.
6. The sabbatical manifesto posters were available at Hild/Bede Council but not many were picked up. Thus they were distributed with the ballot boxes.
