The Council of the University of New South Wales at its meeting on 3 November requested the Chancellor and the Vice- Chancellor to jointly issue a media release communicating the rejection by the Council of the statement by the Chancellors and AVCC on university governance, on the following specific points of divergence:

UNSW Council believes that the matters dealt with in the protocols are matters for the State government to decide.
UNSW Council does not agree that Councils should have the power to remove a member of the governing body from office.
UNSW Council does not agree that there should be no parliamentary members on Councils; this is a matter for State governments to decide.
UNSW Council does not agree that nomination of prospective members should extend to those categories of members who are not elected. UNSW believes this process should extend only to those members appointed by Council itself.
