Members may raise any matter bearing upon the University, by reference to the Convener of the Business Committee of the General Council, College Gate, St Andrews.
The Council elects two Assessors to the University Court. No member of the Senatus Academicus is entitled to vote or take part in the election of any Assessor of the General Council. (The Senate elects its own Assessors to the Court.)
