COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITYChanges in RegulationsCouncil has made the following changes in regulations, to come into effect on 10 October. Nominations CommitteeIn Council Regulations 15 of 2002 (Supplement (1) to Gazette No. 4634, 16 October 2002) concerning the Nominations Committee (made by Council on 15 November 2007, Gazette, Vol. 138, p. 316), delete existing regulation 3.82 (2) (c) and substitute (new text underlined): '(c) Council shall consider all recommendations received from the Nominations Committee and shall either propose one candidate for each vacancy for approval by Congregation or shall ask the committee to submit further names for its consideration;'.
