129.2 Procedural Matters
129.2.1 Academic Developments
At meeting No 10/80, Minute 54.1, the Committee of Deans determined as
follows: `All proposed new courses or changes which might lead to
altered enrolment levels on an inter-faculty basis should be referred
to and discussed by the Committee of Deans so that the full
ramifications of student enrolment patters, staffing and budgetary
provisions could be determined in advance.' In the light of the
establishment of the Education Committee, and current practice, it is
suggested that the Committee may wish to reconsider this determination.
129.2.2 Chair Appointments
At meeting No 6/91, Minute 62, the Committee of Deans determined as
follows: The Committee of Deans noted that the current procedures for
the establishment of a chair, or the advertising of a vacant chair,
was a three step process involving the obtaining of preliminary
approval from the Committee of Deans, a recommendation from the
Faculty Board, final approval from the Committee of Deans following
which the matter was referred to the Academic Board and Council for
approval. The Committee agreed to change the procedure so that
recommendations would be forwarded to the Committee of Deans in the
first instance for approval, following approval by the Committee of
Deans the matter would be considered by the relevant Faculty Board,
and recommendations should be forwarded to the Academic Board and
Council by inclusion in the report from the Faculty Board. In the light
of current procedures, whereby many recommendations are referred directly
from Committee of Deans to the Academic Board, it is suggested that the
Committee may wish to reconsider this determination.
129.3 Review of Staff Selection and Associated Policies and
Procedures
A paper is attached. Item for consideration and approval.
