A New Era Begins 1975-78

New Council Members This principle was not confined to administration only. It was also applied to the University Council in order “ t o enlarge the academic staff element in the composition of the University Council." In accordance with the new Ordinance, six Faculty Deans and one elected representative from each College Assembly of Fellows became Council members. Thus, academic participation in university governance right from the top became complete. The role of the Assemblies of Fellows in the Colleges will be discussed in the next Section. Re-organization of AAPC Prior to the passing of the new University Ordinance, the Council appointed an Administrative and Planning Committee (AAPC) which was composed of the Vice-Chancellor and the three College Presidents. Several other senior officers of the University attended as observers. It was in practice the executive committee of the Council, reporting to the Council through the Vice-Chancellor. Under the new University Ordinance, the membership of the AAPC was considerably enlarged, consisting of the following members: (1) the Vice-Chancellor, Chairman of the Committee (2) 2 Pro-Vice-Chancellors (3) 3 College Heads (4) 6 University Deans (5) the Secretary (also serving as Secretary of the Committee) (6) the Registrar (7) the Bursar The new AAPC members 24
