Notice of a Discussion on Tuesday, 3 May 2011

The Vice-Chancellor invites those qualified under the regulations for Discussions (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 107) to attend a Discussion in the Senate-House, on Tuesday, 3 May 2011, at 2 p.m., for the discussion of the Report of the Council, dated 14 March 2011, on the governance arrangements for the North West Cambridge project and for the development of West Cambridge (Reporter, 2010–11, p. 618).

Notice of a benefaction

26 April 2011

The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that he has received with gratitude a generous benefaction of £2m from the Provincial Hospital Services Association to support a non-clinical University Lectureship in Medicine, to be held in the Department of Medicine, with a focus on diseases and illnesses predominantly associated with the elderly. It is intended that the first appointment will focus on pharmacological issues of importance to older people.

The Council is submitting a Grace to the Regent House (Grace 3, p. 719) for the approval of regulations to govern the benefaction.

Office of Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Institutional Affairs): Notice

The Council intends to make an appointment to the office of Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Institutional Affairs from 1 October 2011, following the resignation from office of Professor White, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor responsible for Institutional Affairs, on his election as the Master of Jesus College.

The role of Pro-Vice-Chancellors is to take forward strategy and policy development and to support the Vice-Chancellor in providing institutional leadership for the University, particularly in their areas of responsibility. The Pro-Vice-Chancellors work closely with the Heads of Schools and senior professional administrators. Pro-Vice-Chancellors are appointed from senior members respected by the University.

The Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Institutional Affairs will be appointed by the Council, after consultation with the General Board, for a period of three years from 1 October 2011. The Council is advised by a Nominating Committee chaired by the Vice-Chancellor and with the following members: Professor Frank Kelly, Dr David Good, Dr Rachael Padman (members of the Council) and Professor Simon Franklin and Professor Howard Chase (members of the General Board). The senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Professor Steve Young) attends meetings of the Committee.

The Pro-Vice-Chancellor will be appointed for between 60% and 80% of full time on secondment for three years in the first instance. A Pro-Vice-Chancellor may serve for up to six years in total. The stipend payable is £113,344 (point 87 of the single spine) pro rata.

The Nominating Committee welcomes expressions of interest by, and suggestions of, suitable persons who hold a senior post in the University or a College, with extensive experience in higher education. Expressions of interest and suggestions should be communicated by 13 May 2011, to the Vice-Chancellor, University Offices, the Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN, from whom a fuller description of the role and information about the application and appointment process may also be requested.

Report of the Council on amendments to the composition of the Board of Scrutiny and of the Nomination Board: Notice

26 April 2011

The Council has received the remarks made at the Discussion of this Report on 22 March 2011 (Reporter, 2010–11, p. 676).

It has noted the comments made by Professor G. R. Evans. It believes that it is helpful to the composition of both the Board of Scrutiny and the Nomination Board if they include members who are relatively new to the University.

The Council is submitting Graces to the Regent House (Grace 2, p. 719) and to the Senate (Grace 1, p. 719) for the approval of the recommendations in the Report.

University Composition Fees: Notice

26 April 2011

In the following Notice the Council proposes amendments to the fees for certain categories of students.

Fees for certain courses in 2011–12

Change in fee increase for continuing overseas students in 2011–12

Approval was given by Grace 1 of 12 May 2010 for fees for all overseas students in 2011–12 to be increased by 10%, this representing an estimate of the increase in University costs. However, following representations from overseas students who are already following courses in the University, the Council has agreed to propose that, for continuing overseas students, the fee payable in 2011–12 should be increased by the calculated inflation rate only, that is, 4.8%. The revised figure for continuing overseas students in 2011–12 is set out in the Table attached to this Notice.

M.Phil. Degree

The Council of the School of Technology has recommended that the approved fee for the course in Technology Policy for 2011–12 be revised from £17,480 to £15,480.

M.B.A., M.Fin., and M.St. courses

The Council has agreed to propose fees for 2011–12 for the M.B.A. and M.Fin. courses and certain M.St. courses which have been recommended by the relevant bodies as set out in the Table attached to this Notice.

ELQ students

The Council has agreed to propose an increase of 2% in the fees payable in 2011–12 by ELQ students (i.e. students following a course leading to a qualification (other than the course in Medical and Veterinary Sciences leading to the B.A. Degree, as defined in the regulations, or courses in Architecture or the Postgraduate Certificate in Education) which is equivalent to, or at a lower level than, a qualification they possessed when they began their course). The fees payable reflect the value of the Home undergraduate fee plus the element of HEFCE T grant which is not received for these students.

Fees for overseas students in 2012–13

For overseas students commencing courses in the year 2012–13, the Council proposes that fees should be increased by a further 10% of the 2011–12 fee, reflecting a further rise in University costs and the fees charged by comparable international institutions. The fee payable for all continuing overseas students in 2012–13 should be increased by an inflation figure of 4.8%.

The Councils of the Schools have recommended that the fees for the courses listed below should be increased, with effect from 1 September 2012, by the following amount in addition to the general increase:

B.A. Degree

Mathematics

by £1,500 for overseas students commencing the course in 2012–13
