Governance: Notice

13 May 2002

This Notice gives information about the arrangements which the Council intends to adopt for the publication, discussion, and decision on forthcoming proposals for University governance.

The Council expect to report to the University during June, the Report to appear in the Reporter as a special issue on Friday, 14 June, or 21 June. The Council propose that the Report should be put up for Discussion on two occasions, the first in July (provisionally 9 July) and the second at the beginning of the Michaelmas Term (provisionally 8 October). Confirmation of the dates will be announced at the time of publication of the Report.

The Council hope that University bodies, Colleges, and the intercollegiate Bodies will have an opportunity to consider the Report at meetings during the Research Term, or at the beginning of the Michaelmas Term, and comments from these bodies and from individuals will be welcomed.

The Council will take account of the remarks made at the two Discussions and of any other comments which are received, and plan then to submit Graces for the approval of the recommendations in the Report, amended if necessary, during the Michaelmas Term, together with an explanatory notice (or a signed notice if the proposals are amended).

The Council intend themselves to call a ballot on the Graces, with postal voting in the second half of Michaelmas Term.

This timetable should be such as to permit amendments of Statutes to be in force by 1 October 2003.
