Cambridge University Council
- Cambridge University Council
The Council of the University of Cambridge is its principal executive and policy making body, having responsibility for the administration of the University, for the planning of its work, and for the management of its resources. [Statute A, IV: Statutes and Ordinances of the University of Cambridge] . Since the Regent House is the governing body of the University, however, the Council must report and be accountable to the Regents through a variety of checks and balances. It has the right of reporting to the University, and is obliged to advise the Regent House on matters of general concern to the University. It does both of these by causing notices to be published by authority in the Cambridge University Reporter, the official journal of the University.
Membership
Membership of the Council consists of the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of the University (the office of Chancellor, which is held for life, is mainly ceremonial, while the Vice-Chancellor is "de facto" the principal academic and administrative officer), nineteen elected members, and two appointed members, as follows:
*Four Heads of Colleges,
*Four Professors of Readers
*eight from the other members of the Regent House
*three three students, of whom at least one is a graduate student
*two external members (see below)
