Three candidates were deemed appointable for the student experience board member position. Ministers chose to appoint five candidates from the ten non-executive campaign and therefore five candidates were not appointed. For the student experience campaign, ministers chose not to appoint any of the three appointable candidates. Ministers then chose to make an interim appointment of one of the successful candidates appointed to the OfS Student Panel onto the OfS Board and will re-run a campaign for a permanent student representative on the OfS Board later in the year.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 15/01/2018 17:40:01 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah previous answer version 33690 answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

The model articles do not include any specific requirement on the trust board to consider advice given by the principal but we would expect them to do so. We would expect there to be an effective working relationship between trustees and the principal, who will often serve as a trustee.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 21/10/2014 16:39:13 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson previous answer version 22418 answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
