Updates from Faculty Liaisons 

• GM: had introduction with Rosie (faculty quality manager for FCLP), believes that SALT meetings should be reinstated 

• JM: planning on hosting coffee + chat with GM, need a date for this 

• SL: consensus in med is students don’t feel like they’re being heard with, working damage control and working with students to adapt to changes rather than reversing them, attended 2 meeting (ALTC, SSLC), med have shut down any little changes suggested but still working on this with MB. Main issue was forced but non monitored attendance – staff are now standing at the back of classes to monitor people chatting (this was something also noted was an issue in FBHSS by MG)  

• Attendance was an issue noted across faculties for this, disruptions, arriving late, arriving just to sign register etc 

• GM noted that the scanning of ID in med was good though and could be implemented in other faculties 

• BB – webinar tomorrow, students have asked about funding
