Members of the Regent House are reminded that amendments have been proposed of Grace 1 of 18 June 1997 (the Grace for the approval of the recommendations of the 1997 Allocations Report). This Grace reads as follows:
That the recommendations contained in paragraph 57 of the Report, dated 26 May 1997, of the Council on the financial position of the Chest, recommending allocations for 1997-98, be approved.
Two amendments of the Grace have been proposed, as follows:
1. That paragraph 36 of the Report be amended and funds made available to facilitate increased promotion of the academic staff on the basis of merit and achievement, these to be defined as matching the merit and achievement of those previously promoted, with no artificial constraint of numbers.
2. That the money to fund the resulting promotions be taken from the funding paid to the University by the HEFCE as a result of the success of Cambridge's 'research-active' staff in the Research Assessment Exercise just completed or from other funding as appropriate, so that those of equal value to the University may receive equal rewards. (The Regent House has power to allocate such funds under the 1992 Act.)
Votes are to be taken by postal ballot on the Grace and on the proposed amendments, under the Single Transferable Vote Regulations (see the Council's Notices dated 30 June and 28 July, Reporter, 1996-97, pp. 896 and 1029). The Registrary will arrange for the printing and circulation of any fly-sheet, signed by ten or more members of the Regent House, which reaches him by 1 p.m. on Wednesday, 15 October 1997. Fly-sheets must bear, against each signature, the name and initials (in block capitals) of the signatory (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 117).
Voting papers and fly-sheets will be distributed to all members of the Regent House on or before Monday, 27 October; the last date for the return of voting papers will be Thursday, 6 November.
The persons eligible to vote will be those whose names appear on the current Roll of the Regent House (i.e. the Roll as promulgated on 6 November 1996; see Reporter, 1996-97, Special No. 5).
