The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that an election is to be held for a member of the Council in class (a) (Heads of Colleges) to serve from 1 October 2015 until 31 December 2016 (see Statute A IV 2), the remainder of the period of office of the Warden of Robinson College, who has decided to step down from the Council.

The Council is the principal executive and policy-making body of the University.

It is responsible for the appointment or nomination of certain members of internal and external bodies, and for many student matters (excluding the selection of entrants, which is a College concern). Further information about the Council is available on the Council website (https://www.governance.cam.ac.uk/committees/council/). Questions about its work can be addressed to the Registrary by emailing registrary@admin.cam.ac.uk.
