(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is one of several instruments, being this instrument and the Robert Gordon University (Establishment) (Scotland) Order 2006, the Designation of Institutions of Higher Education (Scotland) Order 2006, the Robert Gordon University (Scotland) Order of Council 2006, the Robert Gordon University (Closure) (Scotland) Order 2006 and the Academic Awards and Distinctions (The Robert Gordon University) (Scotland) Order of Council 2006, which give effect to the intention of Robert Gordon University (“the University”) that the University itself be incorporated rather than its governing body. This change necessitates the closing of the University as it is currently constituted and establishing a new institution of higher education.
The University, as presently constituted, is to be closed on the date of coming into force of the Robert Gordon University (Closure) (Scotland) Order 2006. A new institution of higher education called The Robert Gordon University is established by The Robert Gordon University (Establishment) (Scotland) Order 2006 (S.S.I. 2006/276).
This Order modifies schedule 2 to the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005 by amending the list of fundable bodies.
Article 2(a) removes The Robert Gordon University, being the institution to be closed, and article 2(b) adds The Robert Gordon University, being the new institution.
Article 3 makes saving provisions to ensure that the institution to be closed, shall continue to be a fundable body until the date of its closure.
