Reports

Report of the Council on changes to Ordinances arising from the Technical Review of the Statutes

The Council begs leave to report to the University as follows:

1. Following completion of the technical review of the Statutes, the repeal of the existing Statutes and the enactment of the proposed New Statutes were approved by the Regent House on 12 July 2013 (Grace 2 of 3 July 2013, Reporter, 6316, 2012–13, p. 762), subject to approval by Her Majesty in Council. The proposed Special Ordinances were also approved, their enactment contingent on the coming into force of the New Statutes.

2. When the Council presented a draft of the recommended revisions to the Statutes for approval in principle in its Report dated 18 June 2012 (Reporter, 6272, 2011–12, p. 747; approved by Grace 1 of 31 October 2012, Reporter, 6285, 2012–13, p. 124), Appendix II of that Report indicated some provisions in the existing Statutes that were designated for transfer to Ordinances; the proposed Special Ordinances also suggested the transfer of some provisions from Ordinances into Special Ordinance. Subject to the approval of the New Statutes by Her Majesty in Council, this Report proposes the new location of those provisions removed from the Statutes into Ordinance and the rescission of provisions in Ordinances now to be enacted by Special Ordinance. A list of the proposed changes is annexed. In some cases further minor amendments are proposed for clarity and this is noted in the Annex.

3. During correspondence with the Privy Council Office about the proposed revisions to the Statutes, its officers suggested that the University might wish to consider stating its objects expressly in the New Statutes. It was concluded that the inclusion of a new 'objects clause' would necessarily go beyond the scope of the technical review, but it was agreed that the inclusion of the Mission Statement, that

"The mission of the University of Cambridge is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence",

as approved by Grace 6 of 14 November 2001 (Reporter, 5866, 2001–02, p. 328), in the preamble to the New Statutes would be proposed to the University.

4. The Council therefore recommends:

I. That, with effect from and conditional upon the approval by Her Majesty in Council of the New Statutes and the consequential enactment of the Special Ordinances as approved by Grace 2 of 3 July 2013, approval be given to the proposed amendments to Ordinances contained in the Annex to this Report.

II. That the University's Mission Statement, that "The mission of the University of Cambridge is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence", be included in the preamble to the New Statutes.

The decision of the Vice-Chancellor regarding any such objection shall be final.

B. Statute A, VI, 1(b) (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 7); the remit of the Board of Graduate Studies, Board of Examinations, and the Local Examinations Syndicate is already reproduced in greater detail in the Ordinances and therefore only one minor change is being proposed.

By inserting the words 'and other institutions' after 'examinations in schools' in Regulation 9 for the Local Examinations Syndicate (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 131).

C. Statute A, VII, 3–5 (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 8)

The University may make regulations specifying the procedure to be followed if at any election insufficient nominations are received to fill the vacant places in class (c).

3. If at any election insufficient nominations are received to fill the vacant places either in class (c)(i) or in class (c)(ii), the Council shall appoint as many members as may be necessary.

4. The provisions of Statute A, IV, 6 Special Ordinance A (ii) 3 regarding the filling of casual vacancies in the membership of the Council shall apply to the filling of casual vacancies in the elected membership of the Board of Scrutiny. A retiring member of the Board who has served for four or more consecutive years shall not be eligible to serve again as a member in class (c) until one year has elapsed after the end of her or his previous period of service.

D. Statute B, I, 6 and 7 (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 10); Statute B, I, 5 is already embodied in the regulations for Affiliated Students; it is proposed that the approval of the privileges of Affiliation be granted by the Council.

By inserting current Statute B, I, 6 as new Regulation 8 for Affiliated Students (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 173) as follows:

8. All or any of the privileges of Affiliation (that is to say, the privileges which under this Statute and under Ordinances made in accordance with it may be granted to Affiliated Students) may be granted by Grace by the Council to any particular applicant who is a member or former member of an institution engaged in the education of adult students, although the requirements of this Statute Ordinance have not been fulfilled.

By inserting part of current Statute B, I, 72 as a new regulation in Chapter II as follows:

Resignation of Membership of the University

If any matriculated person wishes to resign her or his membership of the University in accordance with Statute B I 2 and so informs the Registrary, and if the Council deems the reasons given sufficient and decides to allow such resignation, that person's name shall be removed from the list of members of the University at the next publication of the list, and any name so removed shall be reinstated only in accordance with a subsequent decision of the Council which shall not be taken until a period of five years has elapsed from the date of removal. The name of any matriculated person which under this section is removed from the list of members of the University shall if such person is a member of the Senate be removed also from the register of the Senate in accordance with the provisions of Statute A I 76 (ii).

E. Statutes B, II, 1–3 and K, 3(f) (Statutes and Ordinances, pp. 11 and 67)

By inserting the following (current Statute B, II, 4, combined with current Statute K, 3(g) and (j)) as new Regulation 1 for Precincts of the University and Residence (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 178), renumbering the remaining regulations, and retitling them as the regulations for Residence and Precincts of the University:

1. A person who is required by Statute, Ordinance or Regulation to keep certain terms by Residence shall be deemed to have kept a term by residence if he or she has resided within the University Precincts during such part (being not less than three-fourths) of that term, and in such manner, as the University may prescribe by Ordinance. The University may prescribe by Ordinance areas in and about Cambridge (not necessarily within the University Precincts) within which terms of residence may be kept by specified classes of person, and the University may delegate the power to determine that terms of residence may be kept in exceptional cases elsewhere than within the University Precincts or the prescribed areas. The terms 'reside', 'residence', and 'University Precincts' shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Ordinance.

Second-stage Report of the Council on the project to fit out additional laboratory space at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute building

The COUNCIL begs leave to report to the University as follows:

1. A First-stage Report on the construction of a project to fit out additional laboratory space at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute building was submitted to the Regent House on 30 June 2012 (Reporter, 6311, 2012–13, p. 616) and approved by Grace 1 of 17 July 2013. This Second-stage Report is to update the Regent House on further development of the scheme and to seek approval for construction to proceed.

2. As stated in the First-stage Report, the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK CI) opened in a new purpose-built facility (the Li Ka Shing Centre) in January 2007. At that time the third floor was left as shelled space available for future expansion.

3. The Council now proposes that the shelled third-floor space should be fitted out to provide new laboratory space. This project was anticipated in the transfer of the Institute from Cancer Research UK to the University in January 2013 and is recognized as a priority by the School of Clinical Medicine.

4. It is proposed to fit out the third floor as a combination of conventional wet laboratory space and areas dedicated to bioinformatics work. Part of the first floor, currently used for bioinformatics work, will be modified to provide additional wet laboratory space. In total the preliminary design adds 144 work spaces (net) as well as additional server and meeting room facilities. This will allow the expansion of the Institute to house approximately 600 staff, including 30 research groups, and is consistent with the five-year funding plan for the Institute.

5. The proposed works will:

•significantly expand the state-of-the-art facilities for cancer-related research on the Addenbrooke's site;

•leverage the existing research infrastructure already present within the building to increase efficiency;

•address the particular shortage of space for bioinformatics research in the existing building.

6. The total cost of the project has been estimated at £5.74m which includes the costs of building works, laboratory furniture, and small laboratory equipment. This will be funded by Cancer Research UK (£4.07m) and the University (£1.67m) under a funding agreement established at the time of the transfer of the Institute into the University. The project cost is based on a start on site in late 2013 with completion in late 2014.

7. Funding for the increased building operating costs and core funding for ten additional research groups is available from departmental funds.

8. In accordance with the Capital Projects Process, a Full Case was prepared by the Department and subsequently approved by the Planning and Resources Committee at their meeting on 16 October 2013.

9. Drawings of the proposed scheme are displayed for the information of the University in the Schools Arcade.

10. The Council recommends:

I. That approval is confirmed for the project to fit out additional laboratory space at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute building as proposed in this Report.

II. That the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Planning and Resources) be authorized to accept a tender for the works, within the available funding, in due course.
