The Council have instituted a review of arrangements for voting in University elections and on policy and legislative proposals. A Review Committee has been appointed chaired by Dame Veronica Sutherland, with as members Professor Sir John Baker, Dr Christopher F. Forsyth, Dr George A. Reid, Mr Duncan Robinson, and Dr Joan M. Whitehead, with the Administrative Secretary.
The terms of reference of the Review Committee are to review voting arrangements conducted by ballot in the Regent House and the Senate and in particular to consider (after taking evidence) and report on:
| (i) | whether any changes should be made to the present Single Transferable Vote arrangements (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 124) in respect of elections; |
| (ii) | the statutory and other provisions for voting on matters of policy and legislation, and in particular how possible amendments and alternatives to legislative and policy matters should be placed before the Regent House in order to obtain clear decisions. |
The principal provisions are Statute A, VIII, 5-9, and Regulations 9-11 for Graces and Congregations of the Regent House (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 115).
Evidence in the form of written statements is invited for consideration by the Review Committee. Any such statements should be sent by 30 April 2004 to the Administrative Secretary, University Offices, The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN (e-mail aef30@admin.cam.ac.uk). Evidence is invited on both aspects of the terms of reference.
