Adelaide University Act 2023

The Chancellor of the Transition Council of the University will be appointed by the University of South Australia after consultation with The University of Adelaide (and section 19(2) will not apply in relation to this appointment).

Subject to the operation of clause 9, a person appointed under subclause (1) will hold office until an appointment is made under section 19(2) (which may include an appointment made by the Transition Council exercising the powers of the Council).

The Transition Council must take reasonable steps to make an appointment under section 19(2) before the Transition Council is dissolved.

The Transition Council will initially have 2 Deputy Chancellors appointed from its membership, with 1 being appointed by The University of Adelaide after consultation with the University of South Australia and 1 being appointed by the University of South Australia after consultation with The University of Adelaide.

Subject to the operation of clause 9, a person appointed under subclause (4) will also hold office until an appointment is made under section 19(2) (which may include an appointment made by the Transition Council exercising the powers of the Council).

The Transition Council may make other appointments under section 19.

A reference to the Chancellor in the other provisions of this Act will be taken to include a reference to the Chancellor appointed under this clause.

While there are 2 Deputy Chancellors holding office under this clause, section 28(1) will apply—

in the case of section 28(1)(b)—as if a reference to the Deputy Chancellor were a reference to a Deputy Chancellor elected by those present at the meeting; and

in the case of section 28(1)(c)—as if a reference to the absence of the Deputy Chancellor were a reference to the absence of both Deputy Chancellors.
