 The Rector also had the right to appoint an Assessor, who was also a full member of the University Court.Following changes made to the University Charter in August 2010, the Rector must choose to take up full membership of the University Court or appoint an Assessor who has full voting rights.If the Rector chooses not take up full membership of Court, he retains the right to receive Court papers and attend its meetings but not to vote.
