The College Board is the most important decision-making board on campus and meets about every three or four weeks to discuss issues that have arisen during the time in between the meetings. These can be from management issues to issues the students have brought forward to ASIC or their tutors. In fact, it is the main task of the College Board members to discuss, carry out and implement all changes in policy at UCU. Together with meetings of the ‘Management Team’ (Dean, Managing Director, Director of Education), that meets every three or four weeks as well, the College Board takes care that UCU runs properly and is coordinated well.
In order to give you an idea of the kind of issues that are brought forward during CB meetings, a brief list:

• Student population (e.g. admission of new students, new housing, dining hall capacity, etc.)
• Education (new courses, course outlines, philosophy of the UCU education, developments in the Academic Core Department, Grading, Plagiarism)
• UCU in the academic world (accreditation, relations with other Universities, Internships, contact with UU, tuition fee raise)

The Student Representative in the College Board is officially appointed by the Dean to be his personal advisor of, and contact person with the students. Therefore, the Student Representative has a very important and influential position. If students want to come up with initiatives of any kind, they should approach ASIC. ASIC will discuss the initiative and then communicate it via the Student Representative to the College Board.
