Professor Kerstin Mey:

If I am correct, it is still the governing authority. We are in the process of renewing our governing authority in line with the new HEA Act. I am sure that all members of the governing authority will have taken the learnings from the shortcomings of governance. As the Deputy knows, the term of office for the members of the governing authority is limited and will be limited under the new regulations. Therefore, that question may not arise. I cannot comment on it because at this point we do not have a new governing authority with the new membership in place.
