clear majority view were deemed material, that the proceedings
initiated against the vice-chancellor and president is
terminated."
Today's meeting is a continuation of the special council meeting

urgent matters may be raised by members. In the meantime, a notice
will be issued by the secretariat calling for a normal meeting of
the council.
President Aingimea commenced his term as the 28th
chancellor of the USP on 1 July.
