Overview of the Operational Committees
The operational committees are responsible for implementing policies and procedures
within their jurisdiction. Each operational committee reports, through its Chair,
to the URC and the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research). The Chairs of the operational committees
are appointed by the PVC(R), normally for a term of two years at a time. Chairs may
be, but need not be, on the URC already when appointed—if not, they shall automatically
become members. The URC ensures that two or three of its academic staff members serve
on each operational committee. The operational committees have a quorum which is equal
to one half or, where one half is not a whole number, the whole number next higher
than one half, of the total number of members for the time being of the Committee.
Both genders are represented on each operational committee. There is an obligation
on the operational committees, in particular the Chairs and administrative officers,
to ensure effective horizontal liaison between committees.
