Explanatory memorandum

University of Canberra (Academic Board) Amendment Statute 2005
DI 2005-282
Section 40 of the University of Canberra Act 1989 gives the University Council the power to make Statutes. 

Section 19 of the Act establishes an Academic Board. The Academic Board Statute 1990 (the Principal Statute) contains additional detail of the Board’s members, their terms of office, and the Board’s powers and procedures.

The University of Canberra (Academic Board) Amendment Statute 2005 seeks to amend the Principal Statute to modify those provisions.

Section 42 of the University of Canberra Act 1989 requires that a Statute, once made by Council, be submitted by the Chancellor to the Executive for approval.
