Nominators

Any member of Court, Council, Academic Board and the alumni present at meetings of Convocation at which the request for nominations is tabled, may make a nomination.  The University should not be pressurised into approving nominations from outside bodies.

Where several members make a joint nomination, one should be shown as the nominator and the others as supporters.
