Adelaide University Act 2023

Subject to this clause, the Transition Council will consist of up to 15 persons, being—

the Chancellor (ex officio); and

up to 7 members appointed by The University of Adelaide; and

up to 7 members appointed by the University of South Australia.

A member of the Council of a prescribed university may be appointed under subclause (1).

A member of the Council of a prescribed university is not to be taken to have vacated their position on the Council of that university because the potential exists for the duties of the member's 2 offices to be in conflict.

In addition, a member of the Transition Council who is also a member of the Council of a prescribed university will not be in breach of any duty under this Act, or any other Act or law, by virtue of taking action that is relevant to the interests of a prescribed university.

Subject to subclauses (6) and (7), a person appointed to the Transition Council will hold office until the Transition Council is dissolved.

The Transition Council may remove a member of the Transition Council from office for—

failure or incapacity to carry out official duties satisfactorily; or

failure, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the Transition Council's requirements in relation to attendance at Transition Council meetings; or

conviction of an indictable offence; or

breach of any code of conduct of the University that applies to members of the Transition Council; or

serious misconduct; or

any other reason that the Transition Council considers to be an appropriate ground for the removal of the member.

The office of a member of the Transition Council becomes vacant if the member—

dies; or

resigns by written notice to the Transition Council; or

is removed from office under subclause (6); or

is disqualified from managing corporations under Chapter 2D Part 2D.6 of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth.

On the office of a member of the Transition Council becoming vacant under this clause (other than the Chancellor), a person may be appointed to the vacant office—

if the appointment is made before the prescribed day for the university that appointed the member—by that university; and

if the appointment is made on or after the prescribed day for the university that appointed the member—by the Transition Council.

In addition, if the membership of the Transition Council is less than 15 persons on or after the prescribed day for both universities, the Transition Council may appoint 1 or more persons to the vacant office or offices (as the case may be).
