Report of the Council on Hughes Hall and on the criteria for recognition as a collegiate institution in the University: Notice

20 February 2006

The Council have considered the remarks made at the Discussion on this Report on 17 January 2006 (Reporter, p. 349). No opposition was proposed to the recommendations of the Report and the Council have therefore already submitted a Grace to the Regent House (Grace 1, p. 364) for the approval of the recommendations in the Report (as to University aspects of the recognition of Hughes Hall as a College).

In her remarks, Professor G. R. Evans drew attention to the desirability, when the Council was deciding whether to recommend approval of the application of an institution for recognition, of the inclusion of the student complaints procedure of the institution in the matters scrutinized by the Council. The Council agree. The student complaints procedure of Hughes Hall was one of the matters before the Council's committee advising them on that application. Professor Evans also referred to matters related to admissions and access. The Council take this opportunity of calling attention to the University's agreement with the Office for Fair Access (see /proxyadmissions/undergraduate/info/statements/), in which the Colleges set out their proposals for action on access to undergraduate courses to help students of the highest intellectual potential to apply for, to be admitted to, and to be successful in, Cambridge undergraduate courses.
