The AGM considered resolutions related to the review of UCAS’ corporate governance, which was conducted by PwC. The review looked at three main issues:
- legal membership
- appointment of the Chair
- Board composition
There were no changes proposed to the current legal membership model, which ensures our university and college customers continue to be represented in our governance arrangements, with the role of Council to be strengthened.
The AGM considered and approved resolutions to:
- change the requirement to appoint a Chair who is the head of an HE provider, to the requirement to appoint a Chair who is independent
- make changes to categories of Board representation (a balance of sector and independent Trustees), to allow for a broader skill set
The terms of current Trustees will remain unaffected, and changes will only take effect when a Trustee’s term comes to an end, or they resign.
