Recent Changes to the University Calendar
Revisions to Regulation 34
The Council at its meeting held on 26 November 2010 reported revisions to Regulation 34 governing the Determination of Fitness to Practise for the MB ChB, approved by the Chair of the Council on behalf of the Council, on the recommendation of the Steering Committee on behalf of the Senate.

In October 2009, the Privy Council approved changes to the University Statutes to transfer awarding power for Honorary Degrees from the Council to the Senate.
The Council approved at its meeting held on 14 October 2010 the associated revisions to Ordinance 14 governing the Honorary Degrees Committee, on the recommendation of the Senate.

Revisions to Ordinance 7 and 10
At its meeting held on 14 October, the Council, on the recommendation of the Senate, approved for a second time amendments to Ordinance 7 on Boards of the Faculties and Ordinance 10 on departments.
The revisions established the Warwick Manufacturing Group as an academic department within the Faculty of Science and to formalise representation from the School of Life Sciences on the Board of the Faculty of Science.
Revisions to Governing Instruments Following Students' Union Legal Status Change
A number of revisions were required to the University's governing instruments to reflect the recent change in legal status of the Students' Union. Within the governing instruments, the constitution of the Students' Union is now referred to as the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Amendments were made to Statues 14, 16, 21 and Ordinance 23 following approval of the Council at its meeting held on 14 July 2010. Amendments to the statues are pending approval of the Privy Council and are marked accordingly within the Calendar.
