THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Australian National University (REPEAL) Statute 2020
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
1. Authority for making the instrument. Australian National University Act 1991, section 50 (Statutes).
2. Purpose and operation of the instrument. The Australian National University (Repeal) Statute 2020 will complement the making of the Australian National University (Governance) Statute 2020, in that it repeals all the legislation that the Governance Statute is replacing. This work is the culmination of an extensive University Legislative Reform Project – the project provided the opportunity to review the University’s previous approaches to its legislation, and in particular to provide greater clarity for the respective roles of the Council and the University’s Executive and a sharper focus on what matters should be dealt with in University legislation rather than in other ways.
3. Documents incorporated in the instrument by reference. None.
4. Consultation process. The Statute was made by the Chancellor on 20 October 2020. The Statute was approved by ANU Council on 2 October 2020.
