3. Report of the General Board, dated 30 April 2014, on the establishment of a Professorship of Climate Change Economics and Policy (Reporter, 6346, 2013–14, p. 514).
The Vice-Chancellor announces that the following candidate has been nominated in accordance with Statute A IV 2 for election to the Council in class (b) (Professors and Readers), and that it has been certified to him that the candidate has consented to be nominated:
Professor Anne Christine Davis, K, nominated by Professor Dame Athene Donald, R, and Professor R. C. Kennicutt, CHU
No other persons having been nominated, Professor Davis is duly elected, to serve from 1 October 2014 until 31 December 2016.
The Vice-Chancellor announces that the following candidate has been nominated in accordance with Statute A VII 3 for election to the Board of Scrutiny in class (c)(ii) (member of the Regent House), and that it has been certified to him that the candidate has consented to be nominated:
Dr David Stanley Secher, CAI, nominated by Mr P. C. Warren, CL, and Professor H. Griffiths, CL
No other persons having been nominated, Dr Secher is duly elected, to serve from 1 October 2014 until 30 September 2015.
Regulation 2 for the election of members of the Board of Scrutiny (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 113) provides that, if at an election insufficient nominations are received to fill all the places either in class (c)(i) or in class (c)(ii), the Council shall appoint as many members as may be necessary.
No person having been nominated in the election for a member of the Board of Scrutiny in class (c)(i) (a person who has been a member of the Regent House for not more than ten years on 1 October 2014), the Council will be asked to make an appointment to that vacancy.
Cambridge will be hosting the start of stage three of the Tour de France on Monday, 7 July 2014. Owing to the large number of visitors that are anticipated, the planned road closures to accommodate the event, and the resulting travel disruption for staff, the Council has authorized Heads of Institution to determine whether it would be appropriate to close their buildings on that day. It has also agreed that staff should not be required to attend work on 7 July except in cases where staff are required to maintain essential operational services as determined by the Head of Institution (guidance is being circulated to Heads of Institution).
