Article 17 Appointment of Principal and Vice-Chancellor and discharge of functions

The University Court is to appoint a Principal and Vice-Chancellor as the chief academic and executive officer of the University.

The University Court is to make arrangements for the Principal to carry out any of its functions relating to the organisation, management and discipline of the University as the University Court may prescribe.

In discharging those functions, the Principal has all the powers and duties of the University Court in relation to those functions but is subject to the University Court’s general control and direction.

In the absence of, or during any vacancy in the office of, Chancellor, the Principal (or any person that the Principal determines from time to time) is to carry out any of the functions of the Chancellor as the University Court may prescribe.
