Cambridge is in the process of reviewing its governance, and has spent the last year conducting an extensive internal consultation with the academic community, leading to a series of ballots on changes proposed by the University Council.
The results of the ballots are now in: three of the six reforms were accepted, and three were rejected.
The changes agreed increase the number of Pro-Vice-Chancellors, extend the membership of Regent House to a wider academic community, and raise the number of signatories able to call a ballot from 10 to 25. Proposals to extend the powers of the Vice-Chancellor and to introduce external membership to the Council have been turned down. The number of signatories who can call for a Discussion remains at 10.
The University Council will be considering the position when it meets on Monday 24 February 2003. The full breakdown of results will appear in Reporter, Wednesday 5 February 2003.
