Unless elected for a shorter period, the President shall hold office until the end of his or her eighth academical year.
(ii)That the current text of Statute VI.2 below:
The terms and conditions of appointment of the College Officers (other than the President) shall be prescribed by Ordinance.
be amended to read:
The terms and conditions of appointment of the College Officers shall be prescribed by Ordinance.
The current Statutes of the College are available on the College’s website: http://www.hughes.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/statutes.pdf. Paper copies may be inspected at the University Offices until 10 a.m. on 28 June 2013.

3. These grants have been calculated by taking account of the model of a standard College with a basic requirement for endowment. The figures take account of the actual endowment requirements of the relevant applicant College, having reference to numbers of undergraduates, full-time equivalent graduates, Fellows, and College Teaching Officers. The Committee continues to cap the grant to be made to any one College at 15% of the total available.
4. The Committee of Management has not approved any exceptional grants in addition to the endowment-based grants listed above.
