EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Explanatory Notes

Section 19 of the University of Canberra Act 1989 (ACT) establishes an Academic Board. The Academic Board Statute 1990 contains additional details of the membership and operation of the Board. The University of Canberra (Academic Board) Amendment Statute 2010 seeks to amend the Academic Board Statute 1990 to facilitate the creation of a new statute and rules governing the three categories of members elected to the Board – academic staff, students and professors. This will allow the mechanisms and details relating to elections to be incorporated in rules with an authorizing statute restricted only to elections for members of Academic Board. This suite of statute and rules mirrors the suite for elected members of the University’s Council.

In making this Statute the University had regards to the provisions of section 40B(1)(b) of the Human Rights Act 2004 (ACT).
