Procedure for the Review of Decisions of University Bodies

With immediate effect

The General Board has agreed to amend the Schedules to its Procedure for the Review of Decisions of University Bodies (reproduced in Statutes and Ordinances, p. 219).

The Schedules set out the decisions within the scope of the Procedure. They have been simplified and replaced with one Schedule, which reads as follows:
