(1) For the purposes of section 14 (2) of the Act, the prescribed period for which a Deputy Chancellor is to hold office is as follows:

(a) for a person elected to fill a vacancy due to the expiry of the term of office of a Deputy Chancellor—4 years commencing on:

(i) 1 January following the election of the person, or

(ii) if another date following that election is resolved by the Board, that other date,

(b) for a person elected to fill a casual vacancy in the office of a Deputy Chancellor—the remainder of the term of office of the previous Deputy Chancellor concerned.

(2) If the Board so resolves, the term of office for a Deputy Chancellor provided for in subclause (1) is to be reduced to a shorter period specified in the resolution to ensure that the term corresponds with the term for which the Deputy Chancellor holds office as a member of the Board.

Section 37 of the Act enables the re-appointment or re-election of a person to an office under the Act that the person has held and for which the person is still eligible.

Section 38 of the Act limits the circumstances in which a person is eligible to hold the office of a Deputy Chancellor for a third consecutive term and provides that a person is not eligible to hold that office for 4 consecutive terms.
