Hamilton Kerr Institute: Notice

An amendment has been made to the membership of the Appointments Committee responsible for appointing the Director of the Hamilton Kerr Institute. Four members nominated by the Fitzwilliam Museum Syndicate will be appointed by the General Board instead of by the Council. This amendment brings the membership in line with changes made following approval of the recommendations of the Joint Report of the Council and the General Board on the governance arrangements for the Fitzwilliam Museum and Kettle's Yard (Grace 2 of 18 July 2012; see Reporter, 6274, 2011–12, p. 822).

By amending Regulation 7(c) of the regulations for the Hamilton Kerr Institute (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 647) so as to read:

(c)four persons nominated by the Fitzwilliam Museum Syndicate for appointment by the General Board;

Curator and Deputy Director of the Botanic Garden

With immediate effect

The General Board have approved, on the recommendation of the Botanic Garden Syndicate, the establishment of the office of Curator and Deputy Director of the Botanic Garden, replacing the office of Superintendent. The change in title recognizes the role that the Curator and Deputy Director will have in supporting the work of the Director of the Botanic Garden. The General Board have therefore approved consequential amendments to the regulations for the Botanic Garden (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 633) as set out below.

By rescinding Regulation 9 for the Botanic Garden and replacing it with the following:

9. There shall be a University office of Curator and Deputy Director of the Botanic Garden, the holder of which shall report to the Director of the Botanic Garden. Appointments and reappointments to the office shall be made by an Appointments Committee appointed by the Botanic Garden Syndicate, provided that the Appointments Committee shall include the Director of the Botanic Garden and the Chairman of the Botanic Garden Syndicate. The duties of the Curator and Deputy Director shall be determined by the Syndicate and shall include assisting the Director in her or his duties under Regulation 6 above.
