Committees
Committee minutes and associated papers are a record of the business and
academic decision-making of the University, and are written in a formal style.
The Quality Unit in the Student & Academic Services Directorate is responsible for
many University committees and is able to give advice and training. If you are
writing a paper for the University Council, you may also wish to seek guidance
from the Senior Registrar (Governance) in the University Secretary's Office.
The University provides training in minute-writing and servicing committees.
Standard templates for committees are available on our website. Further advice
for both officers and members of committees can be found in the formal
documents section of the Bucks website.
