Rationale for change
In a recent
initiative to re-organise its committees (SEN07-41), Senate agreed to empower
Prizes Committee to make awards itself, rather than recommending them to Senate
for approval. It also requested that the Committee should provide it with an
annual report on prizes.
In the
light of this decision, Prizes Committee has AGREED to recommend to Senate amendments
to its terms and conditions to reflect this change.
