Article 9 Co-opted membership
The University Court shall, subject to paragraph (2), co-opt up to five persons to serve as governors, which co-opted membership shall include:
at least one person having experience of local government; and
at least one person having experience in the provision of education.
The requirement in paragraph (1) to co-opt persons shall only apply to the extent that such experience of local government and experience in the provision of education is not already available to the University Court from governors appointed under article 8(2).
The University Court may co-opt more than two governors only if upon such co-option the governors appointed under article 8(2) remain in overall majority in the University Court.
A co-opted governor shall have the full rights of a governor to vote on all matters except those concerning the appointment or co-option of governors.
A co-opted governor shall serve for such a term of office as is determined by the University Court subject to article 11(3) and article 11(5)(a).
