At its meeting on 15 November 2013 Academic Standards Committee received a report on progress with a number of recommendations identified previously by ASC. For Recommendation 2, it was noted disabled access to the common room remained an issue as structural alterations were found to have prohibitive costs. An alternative solution of relocation of the common room had been considered but was dismissed as alternative "locations are not readily available". ASC agreed that further consideration was required to try and address the issue of accessibility for disabled students and staff, and therefore it was agreed that a space audit should be requested in order to try and identify alternative space. A report back on progress was requested for February 2014.

Academic Standards Committee is asked to consider the adequacy of the updated responses and the progress made.

None identified.

No direct resource implications have been identified.

As outlined.

The unresolved issue of disability access to the Common room in the Kelvin Building has equality implications.
