       (1)    The Council must terminate the Chancellor's appointment if:

(a)    the Chancellor becomes:

(i)    a member of the Commonwealth Parliament, a State Parliament, or the legislature of a Territory; or

(ii)    disqualified from managing corporations under the Corporations Act 2001, Part 2D.6; or

(b)    the Chancellor is absent, except on leave of absence given by the Council, from 3 consecutive Council meetings; or

(c)    the Chancellor, in the Council's opinion formed by resolution passed at a Council meeting as provided by subsection (2):

(ii)    is incapable (otherwise than on a temporary basis) of performing the duties of the Chancellor's office; or

(d)    the Chancellor is appointed as the Vice-Chancellor.
[Note: The Chancellor also ceases to hold office if the Chancellor becomes a student or employee of the University (see ANU Act, section 32(1A)).]

       (2)    For subsection (1)(c), the Council forms its opinion by resolution passed at a Council meeting if the resolution is passed at the meeting by at least a two-thirds majority of the Council members.

       (3)    Without limiting subsection (1)(c)(i), the Council may form its opinion mentioned in the subparagraph on the ground that the Chancellor has breached the Chancellor's duties under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, Part 2-2, Division 3, Subdivision A as a member of the Council or Nominations Committee.
            [Note: Subdivision A is about the general duties of officials (including Council and Nominations Committee members). The duties include a duty to act honestly, in good faith and for a proper purpose, and a duty to disclose interests.]
