The Vice-Chancellor invites those qualified under the regulations for Discussions (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 105) to attend a Discussion in the Senate-House, on Tuesday, 17 July 2018 at 2 p.m., for the discussion of:
1. Second-stage Report of the Council, dated 29 June 2018, on the alteration and refurbishment of two buildings on the Old Addenbrooke’s site (p. 763).
2. Report of the Council, dated 4 July 2018, on a new Crop Science Building and associated facilities (p. 765).
Further information on Discussions, including details on format and attendance, is provided at https://www.governance.cam.ac.uk/governance/decision-making/discussions/.
The Council has received the remarks made at the Discussion on 23 January 2018 (Reporter, 6493, 2017–18, p. 369) concerning the above Report (Reporter, 6487, 2017–18, p. 164).
The Council and the General Board welcome the remarks made by Dr Myers and Mr Allen. They have proposed some changes to the Report as noted in the Annex below.
As Mr Allen observes, currently the regulations concerning motor vehicles apply to some, but not all, postgraduate students; they also apply to all matriculated students, whether or not they are required to keep residence. In the light of Mr Allen’s comments, the changes proposed in paragraph 5 of the Annex to the Report are withdrawn in order to allow time for further consultation. The regulations concerning the election of students to Faculty Boards and other bodies have also been reviewed, but no significant simplification appears possible and therefore no changes have been put forward.
The Council is submitting a Grace (Grace 4, p. 770) for the approval of the recommendations of this Report, as amended by this Notice.

That in Statute A X 4 (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 12) the words ‘person in statu pupillari’ are replaced with ‘person’.
(2) By replacing ‘person in statu pupillari’ with ‘registered student or sabbatical officer of a student union recognized by the University’ or ‘registered student nor sabbatical officer of a student union recognized by the University’, as appropriate, in Special Ordinance A (vii) 5 (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 69) and deleting the reference to the same section in paragraph 11 of the Annex to the Report.
(3) By amending paragraph 8 and its heading in the Notice by the Council: Discussions and fly-sheets (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 110) to read as follows and deleting the reference to the same paragraph in paragraph 11 of the Annex to the Report:
8. The procedure described in paragraph 6 above for the issue of fly-sheets by members of the Regent House will apply mutatis mutandis to fly-sheets issued in connection with ballots of the Regent House by registered students and sabbatical officers of Cambridge University Students’ Union and the Graduate Union. The Vice-Chancellor may, however, determine on a particular occasion that such members may not submit fly-sheets. Fly-sheets must be signed by ten such members, of whom at least five must be from among the following: the President, the Deputy Presidents, and the Women’s Officer of Cambridge University Students’ Union, the President of the Graduate Union, the three student members of the Council, the Presidents of College Junior Combination Rooms and Middle Combination Rooms (or their equivalents) and, in the case of a proposal from a Faculty Board or similar body, the student members of the body concerned. The Council has agreed that the Vice-Chancellor may, for reasons of economy, limit the number of such fly-sheets to be published on any occasion and that such a limitation may be announced at the outset or when the total number of fly-sheets is known. Fly-sheets signed by such members will be circulated to members of the Regent House only.

(5) By amending Regulation 5 of the regulations for the General Board (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 114) to read as follows and deleting the reference to the same regulation in paragraph 11 of the Annex to the Report:

(7) By replacing ‘the Cambridge University Students’ Union Services Officer’ with ‘a sabbatical officer of Cambridge University Students’ Union appointed on the nomination of Cambridge University Students’ Union’ in Regulations 1(f) and 5(d) of the regulations for the Societies Syndicate (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 131).

(10) By amending Regulation 6 of the regulations for the Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Syndicate (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 617) to read as follows:
6.
