Executive
On a day to day basis and in the absence of Guild Council over University vacations, the Guild is run by a Committee of Executive Officers. The makeup of the committee changed for the 2006/07 adademic session as Guild Council adopted the outcomes of an executive review, albeit with numerous amendments.
There are eighteen Executive officers, seven of which are full time Sabbatical Officers, the remaining eleven being student "non-sabbatical" officers. Four of them are Liberation Officers, whose remits focus on the liberation of certain groups which are socially oppressed.
