Report of the General Board on the re-establishment of the Professorship of Financial Policy

The GENERAL BOARD beg leave to report to the University as follows:

1. In their Report, dated 30 October 2001 (Reporter, 2001-02, p. 240), the General Board recommended the establishment of the office of Director of the Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (CERF). Lord Eatwell, of Queens' College, was subsequently appointed to the Directorship for five years from 1 October 2002, and a Professorship of Financial Policy, to be held by Lord Eatwell concurrently with the office of Director of CERF, was established (Reporter, 2001-02, p. 1272) in Judge Business School for that period.

2. The General Board have now considered the matter of reappointment to the Directorship, with the advice of the Director of Judge Business School, the Managers of CERF, and external referees. The Board have agreed to approve the reappointment of Lord Eatwell as Director from 1 October 2007 until the retiring age and to recommend the re-establishment of the Professorship of Financial Policy on the same basis.

3. The General Board accordingly recommend:

I. That the Professorship of Financial Policy, that was established by Grace 3 of 30 October 2002 for Lord Eatwell, be re-established from 1 October 2007 for a single tenure, placed in Schedule B of the Statutes, and assigned to Judge Business School.

II. That regulations for the Professorship be approved, as set out in the Schedule to this Report.
