GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR FACULTIES

1. There shall be a Faculty in respect of each of the subjects enumerated in the Schedule appended to these regulations.

2. In October of every year, not later than the first day of Full Term, the Registrary shall publish a preliminary list of the members of each Faculty.

3. Objections to the inclusion or omission of any name may be addressed to the Secretary of the Board of the Faculty concerned, and shall be decided by that Board subject to an appeal to the General Board. Any such decision of a Faculty Board or the General Board shall be communicated to the objector and to the Registrary forthwith.

4. As early as possible in the Michaelmas Term each year, and in any case not later than 28 October, the Secretary of the Board of each Faculty shall send to the Registrary the names of persons who are members of the Faculty under Regulation 1(c) of the Regulations for Faculty Membership.

5. On the fifth weekday of November the Registrary shall promulgate the lists of the Faculties, and the lists so promulgated shall constitute the several Faculties for the purpose of the annual meetings of the Faculties. Those meetings shall be held after the sixth day and before the twenty-fifth day of November. Between the promulgation of the lists and the end of the academical year the Registrary shall not be required to ascertain or to notify any change that may occur in the membership of a Faculty.

6. In each year elections shall be held as necessary of members of Faculty Boards in category (ii) of class (a) and in classes (c) and (f), in accordance with the regulations for Classes of Faculty Board Membership, Elections, and Periods of Office. The names of the members elected shall be reported to the Registrary forthwith.

7. In the exercise of their responsibility under Regulation 7 of the General Regulations for the Constitution of the Faculty Boards for preparing the teaching programme of the Faculty each Faculty Board shall

  1. either(a)invite to a conference at least once in each academical year the University officers and Affiliated Lecturers in the Faculty, and, if they think fit, the lecturers whose lectures have in the previous academical year been included in the scheme of lectures under Regulation 8;
  2. or(b)delegate to Heads of Departments in the Faculty the responsibility for arranging similar conferences of Lecturers within their Departments. If this alternative is followed, the Faculty Board shall at least once a year receive reports from Heads of Departments on the outcome of these conferences and shall decide whether they give rise to any questions which should be considered by a conference of lecturers in the Faculty as a whole.

8. Each Faculty Board shall be authorized to invite College teaching officers or other persons to give lectures or other instruction on subjects which fall within the province of the Board, and to include such lectures or other instruction in the teaching programme of the Faculty.
