Class Representatives Council
The Class Representatives Council (CRC) consists of approximately 300 members representing every class in the University. The CRC is essential to the running of the Union and beneficial to the running of the University. It also helps bring students ever more closely involved with the workings of the Union and the University. The CRC has proven invaluable to the Students' Union since it's re-formation a few years ago, and is mainly used by the Union to inform students what is happening within the University and also to get feedback from students regarding any problems, suggestions or positive aspects they have found in the University. Members of the CRC also sit on their respective Staff-Student Liaison Committees within their academic departments, while others are elected as Faculty Convenors (one per faculty), and represent students' views at Faculty level. The CRC also elects the three undergraduate student representatives on the Academic Council, and appoints students to the Student Health Unit Advisory Group, Computer Services User Liaison Group and Library User Liaison Group. The Vice-President / Education Officer is responsible for co-ordinating the CRC and organising the election of students to represent their classes.

Famous quotes containing the words class and/or council:
“There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
