1 See the Vice-Chancellor's Notice, p. 958. The Governing Body of Wolfson College have approved a comprehensive revision of the Statutes of the College; this includes clarification of the roles of the College's Governing Body and Council, the transfer of detail from the Statutes to the Ordinances, and the removal of gender-specific language and of a number of obsolete provisions. The revised College Statutes remove Statute D, II, 4 which provides for the University to make regulations under which University Teaching Officers who had been appointed to the retiring age and who are not Fellows of another College could be nominated for election to Reserved Fellowships. In November 2000 the Council published a Report proposing the repeal of the University's Statute G, I, 11 which correspondingly gave the University power to make Ordinances for the nomination of holders of specified University offices for election to such Fellowships; the recommendations in the Report were approved by Grace 6 of 13 December 2000 and the amendment to the Statute was approved by Her Majesty in Council on 18 July 2001.
