4 ITEMS ORIGINATING FROM SECTION C
C
ITEMS FOR APPROVAL OR INFORMATION5 MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
6 MATTERS REFERRED TO ACADEMIC BOARD BY COUNCIL
7 REPORT OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE p 1-64
7.1 LEGISLATION FOR SUBJECT QUOTAS
Please refer also the Report of the Admissions Committee for its Meeting held on 13 May 1999.
At its Meeting 3/98, Council resolved that responsibility for approving quotas for subjects be transferred from the Council to Academic Board. Draft legislation titled Statute 6.1.1 – University Entrance and Admission to Courses (Amendment No 1 1999), has been prepared by the University Solicitor’s Office to implement that decision.
As in legislation the reference is always to the "parent" body, it will be noted that the reference in the Statute in relation to the authority for approval of subject quotas is to the Academic Board, rather than the Education Committee. In order for the Education Committee to be given responsibility for the approval of subject quotas in accordance with the original decision of Council, a resolution by the Academic Board to delegate that responsibility will be required.
At its Meeting 3/99, the Education Committee endorsed Statute 6.1.1 – University Entrance and Admission to Courses (Amendment No 1 1999), and forwarded it to the Admissions Committee for further endorsement prior to submission of the draft legislation to the Academic Board for consideration. The actual legislation will therefore be submitted to the Academic Board as an attachment to the Admissions Committee Report, rather than to this report.
(The Education Committee did make one amendment to the draft legislation in order to update section 4A.3.2 the Statute in accordance with a decision of the Academic Board at its Meeting 3/99, Minute 11.2, that the minimum ENTER score of 95 be required for admission of applicants who would not turn 18 years of age by 31 December of the year of entry.)
Statute 6.1.1 – University Entrance and Admission to Courses (Amendment No 1 1999) also transfers the authority for approval of course quotas from Council to the Academic Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
That, in accordance with Council Resolution CL3/98/84, Academic Board resolve to delegate the authority for the approval of subject quotas to the Education Committee, conditional upon:
the Academic Board’s endorsement of the legislation titled Statute 6.1.1 – University Entrance and Admission to Courses (Amendment No 1 1999) which is included under the Report of the Admissions Committee; and
Ministerial approval of the above legislation.
