Meetings and minutes
The University Executive Board seeks to be open and transparent and make information available to University colleagues.
University Executive Board minutes
UEB members are responsible for cascading information from UEB meetings to their own areas and minutes of meetings are available on these web pages, with appropriate provision for closed items.
UEB usually meets weekly on Tuesdays, with a full Away Day held several times across the year.
The minutes are drafted by the minute secretary and approved by the chair, before being circulated to UEB members as unconfirmed minutes. UEB will receive the minutes at a subsequent business meeting and have the opportunity to agree and amend them before they are shared on these pages.

- Include the purpose of the paper which should provide background and context
- Be clear about your requested action, for example, note, endorse, approve, decide
- Indicate what happens next, for example responsibility for action, report to a University committee, consultation, communication
- Be clear whether any decisions that UEB may make are implementing existing Senate and Council policy (and may be reported to these bodies); or require UEB to make recommendations or proposals to Senate and Council

Identify in advance the information classification which should be assigned to the paper, taking into account whether the paper, or part of the paper and/or the relevant minute should be regarded as closed business. For further information see the Information Classification and Handling Scheme and associated guidance.
