Regulation 8 Meetings and proceedings of councils

The principal of the college may attend any meeting of a committee of the college council, save that he may not attend unless invited to do so by the committee any meeting or part of a meeting at which matters relating to the selection, dismissal, terms of employment of, or disciplinary measures in respect of, the principal are under discussion.

Any member who becomes aware before or during any meeting of the college council or a committee of the council that he or any person connected with him has, directly or indirectly, an interest or duty relevant to the matter under discussion which is material and which conflicts or may conflict with the interests of the council shall declare such interest and shall not then attend or take part in discussion of, or vote upon, that matter.

For the purpose of the foregoing paragraph, a person is connected with a council member in the circumstances specified, in respect of directors of companies, in section 346 of the Companies Act 1985^f1.

Any information presented in confidence to the college council or any matter discussed in confidence at a college council meeting or by a committee of the council shall be treated by its members as confidential to the college council.
