Commitment
University Representatives are encouraged to maintain connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at their university throughout their term and share relevant feedback and insights with their AIDA Regional Lead and AIDA staff.
University Representative roles are voluntary and have no formal meeting requirement.
Process
Should two or more candidates nominate for a university representative position, an election will be held between the two or more candidates and students from the university will be asked to cast a vote for their preferred candidate.
Should two or more candidates from the same medical school campus receive equal highest number of votes a re-election shall be held within 1 week of the closing date for voting. The re-election will only be between the candidates who received an equal highest number of votes.
If the re-election results in an equal number of highest votes for two or more candidates, the final decision will be made by the AIDA Board.
Please note: Should an election be required to elect a university representative, responses will be shared with voting members to inform their choice of student representative.
