1This Notice was originally published on the Reporter website and is reproduced here in accordance with Regulation 2 of the Ordinance for the Cambridge University Reporter (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 109).
The Regent House, by ballot in the Easter Term, approved an amended Grace in respect of dates for submission of class‑lists (Reporter, 6700, 2022–23, p. 667). This Grace granted authority to allow the Registrary, notwithstanding the Ordinances for the Dates of Examinations and for the Approval of Class-lists (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 254 and p. 258), to accept a list later than the day or time prescribed by Ordinance.
For Examinations for the Tripos and Preliminary Examinations for which class-lists were expected but not received in June 2023,2 the General Board gives notice that the latest date on which the Registrary may accept those class-lists shall be Monday, 16 October 2023. This is also the date by which the Board is asking for lists of those recommended for awards to be submitted by Degree Committees, and for the delivery of any remaining lists of approved marks and class‑lists, for examinations with no prescribed deadline that were conducted in Easter Term 2023.
Boards of Examiners may seek permission exceptionally from the General Board, via generalboard@admin.cam.ac.uk, for the 16 October deadline to be extended. Such applications should explain the reasons for the delay, and indicate the date by which the class-lists will be submitted.
1This Notice was originally published on the Reporter website and is reproduced here in accordance with Regulation 2 of the Ordinance for the Cambridge University Reporter (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 109).
2In accordance with Regulation 5 of the Ordinance for the Dates of Examinations (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 254).
The General Board has agreed to amend the Schedule to its Procedure for the Review of Decisions of University Bodies (reproduced in Statutes and Ordinances, p. 224). The Procedure provides the University with a means to review decisions taken in relation to individual students by a number of different bodies and issue a Completion of Procedures letter, using a process that is in line with guidance issued by the Office of the Independent Adjudicator. The Schedule sets out the bodies whose decisions are included within the scope of the Procedure. The list of bodies has been updated to include the Fee Remission Panel, which has been set up by the Planning and Resources Committee’s Fees and Funding Sub‑Committee to consider applications from students for tuition fee remission. These applications were previously considered by the Examination Access and Mitigation Committee and the Postgraduate Committee.
The General Board, on the recommendation of the Head of the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), the Chair of the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES), the Managers of the Fund supporting the Professorship, and Professor Hurst, the current holder of the Professorship, has agreed to propose the reassignment of the Chong Hua Professorship of Chinese Development from POLIS to AMES (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 741). Agreement has been reached on duties within POLIS that Professor Hurst will continue to undertake during a period of transition (including the supervision of his current Ph.D. students until completion) and on the income to be transferred from the Chong Hua Fund for Chinese Development to AMES to cover the stipend of the Professorship and to support Professor Hurst’s research. The Managers of the Fund will not change. The QR income associated with the Professor will continue to be attributed to the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Professorship will revert to POLIS when vacated.
The Council is submitting a Grace (Grace 4, p. 16) for the approval of this reassignment.
This Notice gives information about the awards made following a review of professorial pay as at 1 October 2022, conducted in accordance with Annex 7 of the Second Joint Report of the Council and General Board on a New Pay and Grading Structure for Non-Clinical Staff (Reporter, 6002, 2004–05, p. 745) and Schedule 2 of the Joint Report of the Council and the General Board on amendments to the pay and grading scheme for non-clinical staff implemented following that Report (Reporter, 6302, 2012–13, p. 423). With the assistance of an Advisory Committee chaired by Professor Sir Nigel Thrift, the Acting Vice-Chancellor carried out an assessment of applications for a review of professorial pay received from eligible Professors. The Advisory Committee was assisted by School-level Committees which undertook the initial assessment of applications in Bands 1 and 2 (the membership of those Committees is noted below). Progression within and between bands is not automatic and is based on contribution, as described in Annex 7 of the Joint Report, and assessed through a biennial review process. The Vice-Chancellor will inform all applicants of the outcome of this review.
The following table summarises the original distribution of Professorships across the Schools and within each band, as at 30 September 2022.
