The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, with the support of the Council of the School of Arts and Humanities, and following consultation with the other institutions in the School, has approved the renaming of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages as the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics (MMLL).
The Board has also approved consequential changes to Ordinances to reflect the change in name.
The General Board has been informed by the Board of Electors to the Professorship of Surgical Oncology that it has been unable to make an election to this Professorship (see Reporter, 6379, 2014–15, p. 421). Under the provisions of Special Ordinance C (vii) B.20(a)(ii) the Board has discontinued the Professorship until 30 April 2019.
