Explanatory Statement

DI 2007/94

University of Canberra Election of Staff Members of Council Statute 2007

An amendment to The University of Canberra Act 1989, effective from 19 December 2006 reduced the number of members of academic staff elected under paragraph 11(1)(e) from three to one.  It was therefore necessary to amend the Election of Academic Staff Members of Council Statute 1991 to reflect that change.  The number of academic staff and general staff elected to the Council is now the same and therefore it is considered more efficient to combine the election procedures into one statute.
