The Educational Policy and Standards Committee of Council has made the following decree, to come into effect on 9 November.
The following decree, made by the Educational Policy and Standards Committee of Council, after consultation with the Committee of Tutors for Graduates, amends the existing decrees governing supervision of graduate students so as to require supervisors to communicate the contents of their termly reports on their supervisees to the students concerned. The change to the existing arrangements, which already encourage supervisors to share the contents of their reports with their graduate students, is made partly to reflect the demands of the Data Protection Act and also to respond to the increased importance which graduate students (and external review bodies) place on there being a system of regular feedback on the progress of a student's studies.
