On Wednesday, QUT Guild Noticeboard announced the casual vacancies of four faculty councillor positons.
These postions were trigged under the QUT Guild Constitution. One was triggered with C19.4, as Creative Industries Councillor Genevieve Hitzke was elected as the Guild Women’s officer as could not hold two positions concurrently. The other 3 were announced due to C19.1, which states that a member of council cannot be absent for more than 3 meetings in a row.
Therefore, there are now four positions available on QUT Guild Council. The Positions are:
- Creative Industries Faculty Councillor (1)
- Creative Industries Faculty Councillor (2)
- Health Faculty Councillor
- Business Faculty Councillor
For those who do not know, a QUT Guild Faculty Councillor is elected to represent the interests of their faculty at Guild Council. The position is voluntary, and two people from each faculty can represent their fellow students. The responsibilities as prescribed in the QUT Guild Regulations are as follows:
(R43.1) Councillors shall be responsible to Guild Council for:
a. circulating information from the Guild to students enrolled in their faculty as required;
b. representing the views of students enrolled in their faculty to Guild Council;
