(2) Discussions with the universities have been aimed at the preparation of a miscellaneous amendments bill to deal with a backlog of requests, dating back to at least 2001, from the universities for amendments to their Acts of establishment. There is a request from the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation for a uniform process related to the tabling and disallowance of university statutes and by-laws. The Department of Treasury and Finance has requested a uniform scheme related to borrowing.
