University of Canberra (Academic Board) Statute 2011
Disallowable Instrument DI2011-13
made under the  University of Canberra Act 1989, s40 
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT  
	
The University of Canberra (Academic Board) Statute 2011 provides the authority for the Council of the University to make rules to regulate the membership of the Academic Board, established under section 19 of the University of Canberra Act 1989 (ACT), the election of the members to the Board, determine the powers and responsibilities of the Board and the procedures and operation of the Board. The Statute repeals the Academic Board Statute 1990, which has been amended a number of times since it was made in 1990. 
Provisions previously included in the Academic Board Statute 1990 will be encompassed in rules made under the new statute. This process commenced in 2009 with the provisions relating to the election of members to the Board being transferred to three separate rules. The parent statute for these rules is revoked by this new statute, which will now be the single parent statute for all rules relating to the Board. The other provisions to be transferred from the Academic Board Statute 1990 to rules relate to the membership, responsibilities and powers of the Academic Board and the operation and procedures of the Board.
