The Division of Student Affairs at the University of North Texas conducted a climate survey of its employees in Fall 2014.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Information:The Guild should organise a demonstration on campus
against rising student numbers and the extension of the
teaching day
Notes:
“The Guild” is student-led – as
such, student leaders are free
to organise any lawful activity
and approach staff support for
assistance.
Past student-led protest
includes protests at careers
fairs against ATOS, as one
example.

Information:The guild to mark international men's day and
distribute information on what it's about
Notes:
“The Guild” do not mark any
day without direct policy
making it a standing order.
This has been added to the
Agenda since an Idea came in
to resurrect it, and holding the
vote was easier than clagging
up the system until January.

Independent, “The Guild” may
not burden a Society with an
obligatory event.
The formation of Shadow
Council makes it clear that this
process can be a part of their
work, if Council desires.
