The General Board have, on the recommendation of the Botanic Garden Syndicate, approved amendments to the office of Curator and Deputy Director and to the membership of the Appointments Committee for that office, which is currently vacant. The General Board have therefore approved consequential amendments to the regulations for the Botanic Garden (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 636) as set out below.
By rescinding Regulation 9 for the Botanic Garden and replacing it with the following:
9. There shall be a University office of Curator of the Botanic Garden, the holder of which shall report to the Director of the Botanic Garden. Appointments and reappointments to the office shall be made by an Appointments Committee appointed by the Head of the Department of Plant Sciences, provided that the Appointments Committee shall include the Director of the Botanic Garden and a person appointed by the Botanic Garden Syndicate. The duties of the Curator shall be determined by the Syndicate and shall include assisting the Director in her or his duties under Regulation 6 above.
