66      Delegation and subdelegation of Vice-Chancellor's functions

       (1)    In this section:

       eligible entity means any of the following:

(a)    the Chancellor or Pro-Chancellor;

(b)    another Council member;

(c)    a member of staff of the University;

(d)    a body or other entity of the University;

(e)    a student of the University;

(f)    a person who holds an honorary, adjunct, visiting, seconded or emeritus position within the University;

(g)    an entity prescribed by rule;

(h)    a committee that includes any of the above.

       (2)    The Vice-Chancellor may, in writing, delegate any or all of the Vice-Chancellor's functions under University legislation, and Council decisions, to an eligible entity.
            [Note: Function includes authority, duty and power (see Legislation Statute, dictionary).]

       (3)    However, the Vice-Chancellor may not delegate a function if University legislation, or a Council decision, requires the Vice-Chancellor to exercise the function personally.

       (4)    If, under subsection (2), the Vice-Chancellor delegates a function to an eligible entity:

(a)    the eligible entity may, in writing, subdelegate the function to another eligible entity if, under subsection (5), the function may be subdelegated; and

(b)    the function may, in writing, be further subdelegated by the other eligible entity to a different eligible entity (or successively further subdelegated to different eligible entities) if, under subsection (6), the function may be further subdelegated.

       (5)    For subsection (4)(a), the function may be subdelegated if:

(a)    the delegation states that the function is a function that may be subdelegated; and

(b)    the conditions, limitations or directions (if any) stated in the delegation for the subdelegation of the function are complied with.

       (6)    For subsection (4)(b), the function may be further subdelegated if:

(a)    the delegation states that the function is a function that may be further subdelegated; and

(b)    the conditions, limitations or directions (if any) stated in the delegation for the further subdelegation of the function are complied with.

       (7)    In exercising functions under a delegation or subdelegation under this section, the delegate or subdelegate must comply with the directions (if any) of the Vice-Chancellor and, for a subdelegation, the subdelegator of the function.

       (8)    The following sections of the Acts Interpretation Act apply, with all necessary changes, in relation to a subdelegation in a corresponding way to the way in which they apply in relation to a delegation:

(a)    section 34AA (Delegation to persons holding, occupying or performing the duties of an office or position);

(b)    section 34AB (Effect of delegation);

(c)    section 34A (Exercise of powers and performance of functions or duties that depend upon the opinion etc. of delegates).
