Governing bodies work best if they include people from a wide range of backgrounds. At Brookes we believe the Governing Body should reflect the diversity of our University community. Equality and diversity are fundamental to the University’s values and we would welcome applications from under-represented groups.
There are non Teaching Staff Governors and Teaching Staff Governors. Any permanent member of staff who is on an Academic Staff contract can apply to be a Teaching Staff Governor.
Staff Governors are not 'representatives' of any group or sub group and cannot be mandated by others to vote in any particular way. They have the same requirements as for all other members.
Recent Staff Governors have had varied backgrounds including former students and those who have worked in other sectors. What they have in common is a desire to support, challenge and improve the work of Oxford Brookes University.
