To follow on from the point regarding the governing authority, I will take Professor Mey back to the question I previously asked her. I want to make sure we have absolute clarity on this. Is the governing authority the supreme body in the university, similar to the elected chamber in a county council, the board of directors of a company, or the board of an education and training board, for example? Can that be clarified?
