Included in these was the substitution of section 9 of the Academic Board Statute which now specifically refers to appointments of and delegations to committees of the Board. p1866 Accordingly, it would be appropriate for Academic Board to endorse for the purposes of the new provisions the appointment of the various Academic Board committees in the attached document.
