The Learner Voice in Action Communicating with you It was noted that the two newly-appointed student governors were both currently studying at the Gorseinon campus and governors were concerned that the students on the Tycoch campus were not represented. The Clerk had determined that neither the instrument of government nor the College bye-laws had indicated that a student governor should be elected to represent each campus. It was agreed that governors’ concerns should be passed on to the Student Council and its members be asked how best they considered the views of students on the two campuses could be represented.
