Governors	The Board of Governors is the executive governing body, responsible for matters including the finance, property and staffing of the institution. It is specifically required to determine the educational character and mission of the institution and to set its general strategic direction, see statement of primary responsibility. The governing body has a majority of independent members, chosen in accordance with strict criteria contained in the legislation. The chair is elected from among the independent members. There is also provision for the appointment of co-opted members, and representatives of the academic staff and students. No members of the governing body receive any reimbursement for the work they do for that body. Subject to the overall responsibility of the governing body, the Academic Board has oversight of the academic affairs of the institution and draws its membership largely from the staff and the students of the institution. It is particularly concerned with general issues relating to the learning and teaching, reach-out and research work of the institution.

Public Benefit Statement	The University has an outstanding track record in educating young people, and those in employment, to improve their ability to contribute to economic development and to society. Our record of graduate employment continues to be highly ranked in the university sector and provides ample evidence of this contribution. Our students make a vital contribution to the UK's efforts to address the challenge of food security. They undergo work placements as part of their course, we encourage student volunteering, organise school visits to introduce schoolchildren to farming and food production and provide educational programmes in schools, including those organised and run by our own students.
