Statutory provisions concerning Pro-Wardens

The statutory provisions for the duties of the Pro-Wardens are as follows. They were affected by both the 1 September 2007 and the 1 September 2010 updates of the Statutes.  The office of Senior Pro-Warden was abolished from 1 September 2010 in the light of the reinstatemetn of that of Deputy Warden, as it was felt that two parallel offices were unnecessary.

Statute 11: The Pro-Wardens

(1)       There shall be such number of Pro-Wardens not exceeding four as Council shall determine, who shall support the Warden in the exercise of his or her duties.

(2)       Pro-Wardens shall be appointed by Council from among the academic staff of the College, according to appointment procedures defined by Council.

(3)       Council shall determine, on the recommendation of the Warden, the titles and periods of office of individual Pro-Wardens.

(4)       The Warden shall determine the duties of the Pro-Wardens, taking into account any framework set by decisions of Council, and shall ensure that Council is informed of any changes necessitating either a change of title, or any consequential change to documents subject to Council approval.

Statute 12: The Deputy Warden

(1)       A Deputy Warden may be appointed by Council from among the Pro-Wardens, according to appointment procedures defined by Council, and he or she shall then, unless Council decides otherwise, hold the office of Deputy Warden until he or she ceases to be Pro-Warden.

(2)       The normal duties of the Deputy Warden shall be determined by the Warden, taking into account any framework set by decisions of Council, or by the Ordinances or General Regulations.
