Management And Control

Many of you will recall that two years ago a scheme of control for the Union Building was put forward. It hinged on a Council appointee to be known as the "Warden." We, as an Association, at that time expressed repeatedly our extreme opposition to such a scheme. After discussion, two fundamental principles emerged. Firstly the University Council is the legal owner of the buildings and cannot divest itself of the consequent responsibilities. Secondly, the facilities should be used to the fullest extent for the benefit of the University, and first and foremost for the benefit of the student body. It was, therefore, necessary to find a solution which took these two eomplementary principles into account.
