Each committee consists of a chair and 4 committee members. Each standing committee must meet a minimum of five times a year according to the standing orders. The committee will discuss any issues and where appropriate suggest policy proposals for the chair of the committee to bring to the student council meeting.
Each year there should be a minimum of 5 student council meetings although there are often more. At student council only the chairs of the standing committees, one SVR (student voice representative) from each faculty and the executives having speaking and voting rights, unless the chair uses their discretion to allow a student at the council meeting to speak or if it is an enfranchised student who has proposed the policy proposal. Any enfranchised student may propose or second a policy proposal and then speak on their proposal at student council. All policy proposals must have 10 signatures from enfranchised students who agree with the proposal.
Student council rotates meetings between campuses, starting the academic year at Treforest, then to Atrium, then to Glyntaff, to make student council more accessible to students across all three campuses.

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or committees:
“I sincerely believe ... that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
