2. Replace references to out-of-date Council Committees or other Council bodies or representatives with a reference to the current name, as specified by the Chancellor.

(4) Replace references to "senior staff" or "senior management" with:

1. Where the context and purpose of the reference demonstrates or implies an intention to apply to staff at senior executive level, a reference to "Senior Executive" and insert a definition of "Senior Executive" to read "Senior Executive means the Vice Chancellor and his/her direct reports (excluding support staff)"; and
2. In other cases, a reference to "Senior Management" and insert a definition of "Senior Management" to read "Senior Management means staff at Dean/Director level and above".
