Changes in Regulations
The Planning and Resource Allocation Committee of Council has made the following changes in regulations, to come into effect on 11 February.
Harmsworth Professor of American History
Explanatory Note
The following change amends the composition of the electoral board of the Harmsworth Professor of American History, by increasing the number of members appointed by the History Faculty from one to two, to reflect the academic importance of this visiting professorship to the Faculty. It also replaces reference to 'decrees' with reference to 'regulations' and removes reference to the General Board.
Text of Regulations
In Sect. III of Council Regulations 24 of 2002, concerning individual professorships (Statutes, 2000, p. 432, as redesignated as regulations by Decree (5) of 11 July 2002, Gazette, Vol. 132, p. 1461), in § 119 delete existing regulations 4 and 5 and substitute:
'4. The professor shall be elected by an electoral board consisting of:
(1) the Chancellor of the University of Oxford (provided always that the Chancellor may appoint the Vice-Chancellor to act for him or her);
(2) the Ambassador from the United States of America to the Court of St James at the time of election, or a deputy appointed by the Ambassador to act from time to time;
(3) a person appointed by Council;
(4) Viscount Rothermere for his life, and thereafter each successive holder of the Viscountcy or an elector appointed by him as his representative at the election; but if the Viscountcy should have become extinct or the holder thereof be a minor or otherwise disqualified from acting as an elector or appointing a representative, then the Lord Chief Justice of England shall be the fourth elector;
(5), (6) two persons appointed by the governing body of the college to which the professorship shall be for the time being allocated by Council under any regulation in that behalf;
(7), (8) two persons appointed by the Board of the Faculty of History.
