(1) Members of the senate must participate in the deliberations of the senate in the best interest of the institution.

 

(2) Failure to act in the best interest of the institution or behaviour that brings the institution into disrepute may result in the removal from the senate following due process.

 

(3) If it is alleged that a member is not acting in the best interest of the institution or has engaged in conduct that brings or tends to bring the institution into disrepute and at least one-third of the members of the senate at any meeting resolve that steps should be taken against that person, the senate must instruct that a hearing by an ad hoc committee of senate take place.

 

(4) If the committee finds that the member has failed to act in the best interest of the institution or has behaved in a manner that brings the institution into disrepute then the committee may recommend that the member be removed from the senate.
