  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order is one of several instruments, being the Designation of Institutions of Higher Education (Scotland) Order 2006, the Fundable Bodies (Scotland) Order 2006, the Robert Gordon University (Scotland) Order of Council 2006, the Robert Gordon University (Closure) (Scotland) Order 2006 and the Academic Awards and Distinctions (The Robert Gordon University) (Scotland) Order of Council 2006, which give effect to The Robert Gordon University’s desire that the university itself be incorporated rather than its governing body. This change necessitates the closing of the university as it is currently constituted and establishing a new institution of higher education.\nThis Order establishes a new institution of higher education to be called The Robert Gordon University and incorporates it as a body corporate. The University is established on 13th June 2006.",
