I move amendment No. 11:

In page 22, to delete lines 12 to 17 and substitute the following:"(2) A member of the academic staff or a student learner of a technological university shall not, subject to the provisions of any enactment or rule of law, be disadvantaged, or subject to less favourable treatment by the technological university, arising from his or her questioning and testing received wisdom, putting forward new ideas or stating controversial or unpopular opinions in his or her teaching, research and any other activities either in or outside the technological university.".

I will not go into the detail of the proposed amendment because the Minister will not be supporting it. It proposes to delete lines 12 to 17 and substitute the text set out.
