The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Boards of Biology, Clinical Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine, has agreed to vary on this occasion the following General Board Regulations regarding the scheduling of resit examinations in Biology of Disease and in Molecules in Medical Science. Students who would have taken those examinations in September 2023 will instead take them in January 2024, beginning on the Monday next but one before the first day of the Lent Term. The examinations originally scheduled in accordance with the regulations were cancelled as a result of the marking and assessment boycott.

The General Board, on the recommendation of the Committee of Management for the Centre for Family Research and the Faculty Board of Biology, has agreed to rename the Centre as the Centre for Child and Family Research, to better reflect the areas of study and research covered by the Centre. The General Board Regulations for the Centre (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 621) and the reference to the Director of the Centre in Schedule III to the Board Regulations for the Classes of Faculty Board Membership, Elections and Periods of Office (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 613) will be updated to reflect the new name of the Centre.
The General Board, on the recommendation of the Committee of Management of the Institute of Criminology, the Faculty Board of Law and the Council of the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences, has approved changes to (a) the Committee of Management’s membership, and (b) the maximum number of Visiting Fellows at the Institute.
The amendments to the Committee of Management’s membership enable a substitute appointment if the Wolfson Professor of Criminology is also the Director of the Institute. They also remove a reference to the Head of the Department of Psychiatry (as there are no current research links with that Department) and replace it with an appointment from an institution not currently represented on the Committee.
The change to the Visiting Fellowships at the Institute replaces a sentence setting a maximum of four Visiting Fellowships at any one time with one that enables the Committee of Management to determine the number.
The following amendments have been made to the General Board regulations:
With immediate effect
By amending Regulations 2(b) and (d) to read as follows:
(b)the Wolfson Professor of Criminology (or a person co‑opted by the Committee from among the teaching officers in the Institute, if the Wolfson Professor is also the Director of the Institute);
(d)(i) one person appointed by each of the following authorities: the Faculty Boards of Law, Business and Management, and Human, Social and Political Science, the Strategic Committee for the Institute of Continuing Education;
(ii) one person working in an area of research within the Institute’s current research interests appointed by the Faculty Board of Law on the recommendation of the Committee of Management from a University institution not listed in sub-paragraph (i);
By amending the last sentence of Regulation 1 to read as follows:
The maximum number of Visiting Fellows at the Institute shall be prescribed by the Committee of Management from time to time.
