The General Board has received the remarks made at the Discussion on 24 October 2017 (Reporter, 6482, 2017–18, p. 94) on the above Report (Reporter, 6479, 2017–18, p. 42).
The Board thanks Dr Padman for her remarks in support of the Report, in her capacity as Chair of the Board of Graduate Studies. The Board also thanks Professor Edwards for highlighting some errors in the wording of proposed Regulation 6(c) in the revised terms of reference for Degree Committees, which the Board has agreed to correct, to read as follows:
(c)to receive the reports and recommendations from Examiners and Assessors on the work of candidates for the degrees of Doctor of Divinity, Law, Science, Letters, Music, Philosophy, Engineering, Education, Medicine, Medical Science, and Veterinary Medicine, and of Master of Science and of Letters, and to make recommendations to the Board of Graduate Studies on whom, in the opinion of the Committee, the degrees should be conferred;
The Board notes Professor Edwards’ opinion that the change to allow Ordinances relating to General Board institutions (now called Regulations) to be made or amended by the General Board was regrettable. The Board does not share this view. Where significant policy changes are being proposed, but which only entail changes to General Board Regulations, the Board will continue to publish a Report, as it has done in this case. Corrections and comments concerning approved changes to the Regulations should be provided to the relevant body or to reporter.editor@admin.cam.ac.uk for onward submission.
Finally, the Board takes this opportunity to clarify the wording of proposed Regulation 1(c) of the revised terms of reference, by replacing the words ‘Degree Committees may co-opt at least one member from another Degree Committee;’ with ‘Degree Committees may co-opt one or more members from other Degree Committees;’.
The Council, on the recommendation of the General Board, is submitting a Grace, as amended by this Notice (Grace 1, p. 169), for the approval of the recommendations of this Report.
