SENATE AND COUNCIL - in brief
Vice-Chancellor
Senate and Council received the report of the group established by the Council to make a recommendation on the extension of Professor Conway's appointment as Vice-Chancellor. The Council approved the recommendation that the appointment should be extended for a further five years and noted that the Senate had conveyed its warm and positive support for the recommendation and its approval of the open and exhaustive consultative procedure which had been adopted.
Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor
The Council approved the appointment of Professor Alasdair Smith as Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor for a period of two years from l August l997 to 3l July l999.
Review of the l996-97 University Budget
Senate noted and Council approved a report on the University budget. In introducing the paper, the Registrar & Secretary drew attention to a number of uncertainties still affecting the Budget which would necessitate a re-calculation of the estimates for l996-97 early in the new year and the re-doing of the five-year financial forecasts. This would mean that Schools would not have firm budgets until well into the financial year, but it was important to proceed prudently to preserve the University's overall healthy financial position.

Senate and Council approved the following professorial appointments from 1 January 1997:
Dr Vivien Hart, Reader in American Studies in EAM, is promoted to a Professorship in American Studies
