  • 2The Council thanks the speakers at the Discussion on 7 July 2015 for their supportive remarks on these Reports and submits a Grace for the approval of their recommendations.

  • 4See the Council’s Notice on p. 744.


  • 5The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of History, propose an amendment to the regulations to dispense with requirement for leave to be granted by the Faculty Board. Affiliated students will automatically be afforded the right, within the constraints of the general regulations for admission and matriculation and Tripos regulations. The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Law, also propose an amendment to the regulations to remove the provision which permits an Affiliated Student to take Part II of the Tripos as if he or she had previously obtained honours in Part Ib.


  • 6Following comments from several Faculties and Departments on the timing of elections for student representatives, the General Board propose this amendment so as to remove the electoral roll eligibility date of 8 November and instead indicate that the electoral roll for student membership of each of the Councils of the Schools will be made up of the rolls previously used for the elections of student members to the School’s constituent bodies.


  • 7The functions of the Office, renamed the Industrial Liaison and Technology Office in 1993, were transferred to Cambridge Enterprise when it was established in 2003 (Reporter; 5556, 1992–93, p. 1005; 5928, 2002–03, p. 1007; 6049, 2006–07, p . 54) and therefore the Office, as defined in the regulations as an institution in the University Offices under the supervision of the Council, no longer exists. It is therefore proposed that the regulations be rescinded.
