The Council submits the following Graces to the Regent House. These Graces, unless they are withdrawn or a ballot is requested in accordance with the regulations for Graces of the Regent House ( Statutes and Ordinances, 2017, p. 105) will be deemed to have been approved at 4 p.m. on Friday, 13 October 2017.
1. That Regulation 3(c) of the regulations for the Joint Committee on Development (Statutes and Ordinances, 2017, p. 134) be rescinded and the remaining sub-paragraphs renumbered.1
2. That sub-paragraphs (i) and (j) of Regulation 1 of the regulations for the Military Education Committee (Statutes and Ordinances, 2017, p. 138) be amended so as to read:2
(i)two persons appointed by the University of East Anglia, one by Anglia Ruskin University, one by the University of Essex, and one by the University of Northampton;
(j)not more than four persons co-opted by the Committee, provided that it shall not be obligatory for the Committee to co-opt any person or persons.
3. By amending Regulation 1(h) of the regulations for the University Sports Committee (Statutes and Ordinances, 2017, p. 142) so as to read:3
(h)two student members, one appointed by the Men’s Blues Committee and one by the Women’s Blues Committee;
4. That Regulation 3 of the regulations for Clubs and Societies (Statutes and Ordinances, 2017, p. 196) be amended so as to read:4
3. By 31 December each year every registered club or society shall deposit with the Junior Proctor a copy of its accounts for the previous academical year approved and signed by the Senior Treasurer who shall be a member of the Regent House or if not shall be a member of the Senate approved for the purpose by the Junior Proctor. A club or society that has been permitted by the Junior Proctor to amend its constitution under Regulation 4 so as to remove the requirement to have a Senior Treasurer may be required by the Junior Proctor to submit its accounts in such manner as may be determined by the Junior Proctor in each case.
1The Council, on the recommendation of the Joint Committee on Development (JCD), proposes this amendment to reflect a change in the procedure for the approval of new members to be added to the Guild of Benefactors and the Vice-Chancellor’s Circle, in which the Advisory Committee on Benefactions and External and Legal Affairs continues to carry out due diligence checks on donors, but on a rolling rather than an annual basis, and the JCD continues to agree the thresholds for membership of those groups.
2The Council, on the recommendation of the Military Education Committee, proposes these amendments to enable the University of Northampton to appoint a member of the Committee, and to increase the number of co-opted members from two to four.
3The General Board and the Council, on the recommendation of the University Sports Committee, are proposing this amendment to increase the student membership by one, so that both the Blues Committees appoint members to the Committee annually, instead of each making an appointment in alternate years.
4The Council, on the recommendation of the Societies Syndicate and the Junior Proctor, proposes these amendments which revise the eligibility criteria for those who may serve as Senior Treasurer of a registered club or society, and make provision for the approval and signature of the accounts of clubs and societies which have no Senior Treasurer.
