Promulgation of Statutes

Statute (1): Integration of the University's libraries

Explanatory note

The following statute, promoted on the recommendation of the
Libraries Committee and with the concurrence of the General Board,
establishes a new body, to be known as the Curators of the University
Libraries, as the central statutory element in a series of measures
designed to achieve the greater integration and co-ordination of the
University's libraries to which Congregation in principle committed
itself in approving the General Resolution of 6 February 1996
(Gazette, Vol. 126, p. 728). The new body will replace
the existing Libraries Committee of Council and the General Board,
together with the old Libraries Board and the Curators of the
Bodleian Library, which have been suspended since 1 January 1997
under the provisions of Decree (5) of 14 November 1996
(Gazette, Vol. 127, p. 321; Statutes, 1997,
p. 64). The full range of measures proposed, which have been welcomed
by Council and the General Board, are set out in the report from the
Libraries Committee which is published separately as Supplement (1)
to Gazette No. 4533. Approval of the statute will
necessitate a substantial amount of consequential legislation, which
will be brought forward in due course as appropriate.

(1) WHEREAS it is expedient to establish a body known as
the Curators of the University Libraries, THE UNIVERSITY ENACTS AS
FOLLOWS.

1 In Tit. VIII (Statutes, 1997, p.
58) delete Sect. III and substitute:

`Section III. Of the Curators of the University Libraries

1. There shall be a body called the Curators of the University
Libraries consisting of:

elected by their respective boards;

(12)--(15) four persons elected by Congregation from amongst its
members;

(16) a person elected by the Conference of Colleges;

(17) a Junior Member elected by the Executive of the Oxford

time.

The curators under (3)--(16) shall hold office for four years and
shall be re-eligible, and the curators under (17) and (18) shall hold
office for one year and shall be re-eligible; provided always that
the tenure of office of elected curators shall be subject to their
retaining the qualifications in virtue of which they were elected;
and provided also that a curator elected to fill a vacancy caused
otherwise than by lapse of time shall hold office for the unexpired
residue only of the period of office of the curator whom he or she
succeeds.

The Director of University Library Services and Bodley's Librarian
shall be secretary to the Curators.

Library and
its dependent libraries, the Sackler Library, the Taylor Institution
Library,
the Cairns Library, the Institute of Health Sciences Library, the
English,
History, Modern Languages, Music, and Theology Faculty Libraries, and
the
Social Studies Libraries]

(c) ensuring that the University's major research
libraries, including the Bodleian, Sackler, and Taylorian Libraries,
are maintained as a national and international scholarly resource;

(d) advising as necessary on the University's trusteeship
of the collections held in its libraries, including, where
appropriate, advising on the need for specialist legal or financial
advice;

Librarian shall act for the curators and shall be responsible to them
in the exercise of their powers.

6. The curators shall approve arrangements for the delegation of
appointments within the University Library Services, provided that

of University Library Services and Bodley's Librarian.'

2 Ibid., delete Sect. IV (p. 60) and renumber
existing Sectt. V--VI (pp. 62--3) as Sectt. IV--V.

3 This statute shall have immediate effect,
provided that until such time as the membership of the curators is
constituted their powers shall be vested in the Libraries Committee;
and provided also that the initial periods of appointment of the
first elected curators shall be so varied as to procure a regular
rotation of subsequent appointments.

THE FUNDING OF RESEARCH: TRANSPARENCY
REVIEW

The 1998 Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) White Paper, which listed
£1.1 billion of additional funds for the Science Budget (including £0.4
billion from the Wellcome Trust), stated: `... the Government will ... ensure that
[the Higher Education] Funding Councils and the Research Councils work
together to deliver better value, transparency and targeting in the use of
science research funding.'

There was already in existence a Joint Costing and Pricing Steering Group
(JCPSG), administering a joint initiative by the Higher Education Funding
Council for England (HEFCE) and the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and
Principals (CVCP) to improve costing and pricing in the HE sector. Following
the CSR, a Transparency Review Steering Group (TRSG) was set up under the
chairmanship of the Director General of the Research Councils, Dr John Taylor
(who had been asked to take the review forward). The steering group contains
representatives of the Funding Councils and the Research Councils;
universities are represented by Dr Ken Edwards, Vice-Chancellor of the
University of Leicester (from the CVCP Research Policy Sector Group) and the
Finance Directors of the Universities of Bristol and Surrey; and Professor
David Westbury (Chairman of the JCPSG) and Dr Chris Henshall (Deputy
Director of Research and Development, Department of Health) also attend.

The TRSG delegated the review to the JCPSG, which carried out an extensive
consultation exercise within the HE sector. The resulting recommendations were
accepted by the TRSG in June 1999 and now have to be implemented.

The main stated objective of the review, which is mandatory on the HE sector,
is `for institutions to adopt a consistent approach to costing which will enable
them to account in a comparable way for how they spend funds on their main
activities of teaching and research'. Although it had been intended that
outcomes would be available in time for the Government's next CSR, that
review has been brought forward to 2000, and therefore only sample results
will be available. Nevertheless, it is clear that the Government attaches great
importance to the satisfactory implementation of the recommendations.

Each institution is required, using a sector-wide consistent costing
methodology based on statistically valid time-allocation data, to produce five
annual `headline' figures for report to the Treasury. These must represent the
actual full costs incurred in providing the following, and must equate to the
institution's total costs in the year:

(1) publicly funded teaching;

(2) other, non-publicly funded, teaching;

(3) publicly funded research;

(4) other, non-publicly funded, research;

(5) other activities.

Implementation is being carried out in three phases: eight pilot institutions
(not including Oxford) are required to report on 1998--9 data; the remaining
twenty-three research-intensive institutions (including Oxford) are required
to report on 1999--2000 costs in the summer of 2001; the rest of the sector
has to report on robust 2000--1 data in the summer of 2002.

In order to implement the review within Oxford, Mr Vice-Chancellor has set up
a working group under the chairmanship of Professor S.D. Iversen, the
Pro-Vice-Chancellor with special responsibility for research, the other members
of which are the Chairman of the General Board (Dr R.C.S. Walker), the
Chairman of the Conference of Colleges (Professor A.M. Cameron, the Warden
of Keble), the Provost of Queen's (Sir Alan Budd), the Bursar of Corpus
Christi (Mr B.C. Ruck Keene), the Head of Administration in the Nuffield
Department of Clinical Medicine (Ms L. Sims), the Director of Finance and
Secretary of the Chest (Mr J.R. Clements), the Head of Planning and Resource
Allocation (Mr M.D. Sibly), and the Head of Management Accounting (Mr K.P.
Davies). A key element in the successful completion of the exercise will be the
collection of information on staff activity, and the working group has set up
two sub-groups, chaired by the Warden of Keble and Ms Sims respectively, to
look into the implications for colleges and departments.

The working group has agreed the following terms of reference:

(a) to develop full-cost accounting in accordance with the
requirements of the Transparency Review;

(b) to agree a costing strategy;

(d) to agree a timetable for implementation of the scheme;

(e) to submit a bid to HEFCE for non-recurrent funding to
support the project;

(f) to publicise the requirements of the Transparency Review and
of the project, together with their benefits, within the wider University;

(g) to help to deal with the concerns and fears of departments,
colleges, and individual members of staff and to facilitate obtaining maximum
co-operation with the project;

( h) to monitor the day-to-day operations of those assigned by
the steering group to carry out the implementation of the costing work;

(i) to review the reasonableness of results produced by the project;

(j) to disseminate cost information so it may be used to inform
decision-making;

(k) to ensure that all external reporting requirements are met.

The benefits to the University will be that the results will enable it to
understand the full cost of all the activities which it carries out (this will
inform and influence strategic decision-making) and will assist in
understanding how costs and activities are shared between the central
University and the colleges; the results will also inform the allocation of
resources within the new organisational structure; and they will assist in
negotiating appropriate levels of overheads from research contracts.

Because of the long-term strategic significance of the results, the group will
report regularly through its chairman to Council, as the University's senior
executive body, on the project's progress.

LANGUAGE CENTRE

The 19992000 programme of courses continues this term. Most courses

ENTENTE CORDIALE SCHOLARSHIPS SCHEME

SIR JOHN HICKS FUND

The Committee for the Sir John Hicks Fund invites applications
from members of the University for grants towards the costs of
research in economic history. Applications will be considered
from undergraduates, graduate students, and members of the
academic staff, and may relate to research into the economic
history of any period or country.

Applicants should (a) provide sufficient information
about the general nature of their research to establish that it
falls within the field of economic history; and (b)
specify the precise nature and cost of the expenditure for which
a grant is requested. They should also give the name of one
referee who might be consulted by the committee.

It is intended by the committee that grants should normally
be made for sums of up to £250, though this may on occasion
be exceeded. Retrospective grants will be made only in
exceptional circumstances.

The committee will consider applications twice each year. The
closing date for the first round is Monday of the third week of
Hilary Term, and for the second round Monday of the third week
of Trinity Term. Applications should be sent to the Secretary of
the Committee for the Sir John Hicks Fund, University Offices,
Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD.

RADHAKRISHNAN MEMORIAL BEQUEST

The trustees of the bequest may make small grants to students at
Oxford who are citizens of the Republic of India, and who,
because of unexpected difficulties, need financial assistance to
complete the qualifications for which they are registered. Grants
will not normally be awarded to those near to the beginning of
their course of study. Application forms may be obtained from Mrs
A. Slater, the Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE.
The closing date for receipt of applications is Friday, 2 June.

SASAKAWA FUND

Applications are invited for grants from the Sasakawa Fund, to
be applied to `the advancement within the University of knowledge
and understanding of Japan by way of academic contact and
exchange between members of the University and citizens of
Japan'. Further details may be obtained from Mrs A. Slater, the
Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE, to whom
applications should be returned by the end of the fourth week in
each term.

HAYTER FUND

Grants from the Hayter Fund are made to holders of established
university posts for travel and research purposes connected with
the languages and the economic, social, and political development
of the following areas: the former Soviet Union and eastern
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, south Asia, east Asia, and Latin
America. Application forms and further details may be obtained
from Mrs A. Slater, the Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford
OX1 2LE. The closing date for applications is the end of fifth
week in each term.

CENTRE FOR SOCIO-LEGAL STUDIES

Research Fellowships (part-time)

The Centre for Socio-Legal Studies invites expressions of
interest from members of the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of
Social Studies, or other related faculties, who would like to be
associated with the centre as research fellows (part-time). Such
research fellows would devote a part of their time to conducting
research at the centre, either by joining in current projects or
creating new ones. They would also be encouraged to participate
in the other research and research-related activities of the
centre. Research support facilities would be provided by the
centre and, in suitable cases, office space would be available.

In the case of tutorial fellows, the centre would propose to
their colleges a form of buy-out of time of up to two days per
week. In the case of other categories of fellows or employees
where a buy-out would not be suitable, other financial
arrangements would be considered.

The fellowships will be for one year, with the possibility of
renewal. The centre hopes to make two appointments in the first
instance. Further details of the scheme may be obtained from the
Director of the centre, Professor Denis Galligan (telephone:
Oxford (2)84231, e-mail: djg@ermine.ox.ac.uk).

Expressions of interest should be made to Professor Galligan by
22 January.

ENTENTE CORDIALE SCHOLARSHIPS SCHEME

A number of scholarships will be available in 20001 to
British nationals who wish to proceed to further study,
postgraduate research, or postdoctoral work, in any subject, at
a French University or Grande École. Applicants must
expect to graduate with a bachelor's or master's degree in 2000,
or be working towards a doctorate at a UK university. They must
have a good working knowledge of French.

The scholarships are awarded for an academic year and cover
registration fees and living expenses. Allowances are also given
towards the purchase of books and arrival and departure costs.

Further details and application forms are available from the
International Office, University Offices, Wellington Square,
Oxford OX1 2JD (telephone: (2)70241). The closing date for
applications is 28 February.

¶ Nominations in writing for the elections on 9 March,
by two members (other than the candidate) of the electorate for
each vacancy, which is the same as the persons from among whom
the vacancy will be filled (as specified above), will be received
by the Head Clerk at the University Offices, Wellington Square,
up to 4 p.m. on Monday, 14 February, and similar
nominations by six members of the electorate other than the

Board, up to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, 29 February. Six-member
nominations for the Medical Sciences Board will
be received up to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, 23
February.

Council has decided that nominations should show for each
signatory the name and faculty, sub-faculty, or department
(indicative of the relevant electorate) in block capitals. Any
names which are not so shown may not be published. At
least one nomination in respect of each candidate must be made
on an official nomination form. Copies of the form are
obtainable from the Head Clerk (telephone: (2)70190; e-mail:
Philip.Moss@admin.ox.ac.uk).

In the event of a contested election, a brief biographical
note on each candidate will be published in the
Gazette dated 2 March, and voters may wish to wait
until they have read these notes before returning their ballot
papers (which will be sent out to members of the electorate as
soon as possible after the closing date for nominations, and
which, after completion, must be received by the Head Clerk not
later than 4 p.m. on 9 March).

Notes

1. Each of the new Divisional Boards will have responsibility,
under Council and subject to plans, policies, and guidelines set
by Council and its committees, for one of the five new academic
divisions (including its budget, space, syllabus, and staffing),
embracing, among other matters, (a) the development and
proposal, in collaboration with the colleges, divisional
sub-units, and the academic services sector, of comprehensive and
detailed strategic five-year plans and one-year operating
statements, (b) the delivery of curricula (with an equal
focus on graduate and undergraduate studies) and the maintenance
of educational quality and standards in the broad subject area,
(c) the division's relations with external funding
agencies, and (d) the oversight of fund raising. Full
details of the boards' responsibilities are set out in the
Statute approved by Congregation on 29 June 1999
(Gazette, Vol. 129, pp. 1323, 1482).

2. The composition of the divisions and of the Divisional
Boards, and the manner of holding elections, are laid down in
Decree (1) of 4 November 1999 (Gazette, Vol. 130,
p. 294). Each board will have the head of division in the chair,
elected members as specified above, and a member appointed by the
Conference of Colleges from within the division. (The Medical
Sciences Board will also include the Regius Professor of Medicine
and the Chairman of the Oxfordshire Health Authority. The Social
Sciences Board will also include a representative of Area Studies
elected by the chairmen of the relevant inter-faculty committees
and the directors of the relevant centres.) Boards may co-opt one
or more additional members (subject to the maximum number
prescribed by the decree in each case). Two Junior Members,
elected by the Oxford University Student Union, will have the
right to attend each board for matters of unreserved business
(with the right to speak but not to vote). Such officers of the
University as Council may determine shall receive all board
papers and may attend, or nominate a deputy to attend, any
meeting (again, with the right to speak but not to vote).

3. Where it is specified in the above list that the candidates
must be from among certain persons `working in' a department or
other institution, both the candidates and the electors must be
persons so working at the time of the election.

4. In the case of the five members of the Medical Sciences
Board elected by and from among the members of the Faculty of
Physiological Sciences and the Sub-faculty of Psychology, one
must be from each of the Department of Human Anatomy and
Genetics, the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, the
Department of Pharmacology, the Department of Physiology, and the
Department of Experimental Psychology.

5. The normal period of office for members of the Divisional
Boards is four years, but the initial periods on each board are
being varied to procure a regular rotation of subsequent
appointments each year. Under the statutes, the length of the
initial period of office of each person elected on 9 March will
be determined by the number of votes cast for him or her (or, in
the event of an equality of votes or an uncontested election, by
academic standing).

6. The heads of the five new divisions are currently being
selected, and their identities being published, once Council has
approved their appointment, in the Gazette.

Pilates is the buzzword in fitness todayyet it has
already been delivering results for well over 80 years, during which time its
devotees have included leading figures from the worlds of film, dance and
professional sport. Pilates is a very safe, effective form of exercise, which
works by strengthening the core postural muscles of the body, re-balancing
and bringing it back into correct alignment, resulting in a longer, leaner
body. The exercises are performed in a slow, controlled way, bringing long-
term results. It is also a great way of relieving unwanted stress and tension.
There is a massive demand for Pilates throughout the country and, as a
result, there is a shortage of qualified instructors. Valerie Downing is a
member of the Body Control Pilates Association, Europe's largest Pilates
professional body and is now teaching the method at various locations
throughout the county. Class numbers are limited to an absolute maximum of
twelve so that a high level of personal tuition and supervision can be given.
Beginners classes are suitable for first time exercisers. Tel.: Oxford 730429 for
further information.
