(b) inform the Senate of the criteria being used for

academic performance;

(c) recommend to the Senate in good time an appropriate

admissions procedure for continuing use after the cessation of the Admissions Committee.

Control of funds

43.

Capital building funds would need to be split between PWD (for the hospital, Polyclinic, teaching additions to the hospital and the Polyclinic, Government staff quarters, site works etc.) and the University (for pre-clinical facilities, University staff quarters etc.). It is likely to be more convenient for PWD to build the clinical teaching facilities and for the University to equip them. In both cases funds will be controlled on existing procedures.

44.

A

The whole of the University recurrent funds required would have to be put on a fully earmarked grant. This would include funds required for administration of the proposed school. fully earmarked grant requires the prior submission of separate budgets to the UPGC for approval and the subsequent submission to the UPGC of separate statements of account. It would have to be maintained for at least the next two quadrennia ( e.up to 31 June 1982) and very probably longer.

Changes in Legislation

45. These arrangements will require amendments to the CUHK Ordinance and Statutes.

Implementation of Dental School

46. As with the proposed new Medical School it will be necessary to appoint a Dental Academic Advisory Committee. This could perhaps be simpler than the Medical Academic Advisory Committee because there will be no need to plan the H.K.U. pre-clinical physical facilities ab initio, although the pre-clinical dental teaching may require separate treatment.

47. The previous medical expansion at H.K.U.was successfully handled by an "indicated" grant (which is less difficult to administer than a fully earmarked grant) and this should suffice for the Dental School.

48. There should be no admission problems for the Dental School.

49. Subject to the advice of the Dental Academic Advisory Committee the dental course is likely to consist of one year pre-clinical and three years clinical work, making in all a four year course. It seems probable that the pre-clinical facilities could be ready by September 1976 and if the Dental Clinic is ready by September 1977 the first graduates would appear in 1980.
