What does this suggestion change/add/remove?
Increase Ethics assistant slots to 3
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2)
The primary duty of an ethics assistant is to assist their designated ethics committee members. However- due to there only being 2 slots for ethics assistants, it’s impossible for one of the 3 ethics committee members to contact their assistant. I believe it would be viable to have a minimum of three Assistant slots, as it would create less strain on the assistants if they’re given multiple assignments.
Another positive is that it would allow for at least a semblance of a meeting between assistants. As the lack of open slots causes issues, as some are ever able to get on there role due to positions being taken.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion
In my eyes, I see this as more of a positive, me and the other assistants keep voicing our frustrations on the lack of assistant slots.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted?
I believe this is a viable option for the more populated hours of the day, as there will likely be more researchers and people requesting the ethics committee, so it helps to reduce the load a little. It’ll also allow for some better ethics committee roleplay moments if meetings do end up occurring.
