14 The College and its Membership Every CR member pays an Amalgamated Clubs Subscription (ACS) and a CR Subscription. The ACS fees are used for sports facilities and the CR fees for such things as the provision of magazines and newspapers, the rental of the television sets and other expenses which may arise from time to time. Further details of the functions of the Combination Room are given in its constitution which may be found on the College website. The Combination Room has to operate according to the provisions of the 1994 Education Act Part II. The following code of practice and notice have been issued to comply with the Act. 1.4.1 Code of Practice The Combination Room shall operate in a fair and democratic manner and be accountable for its finances in accordance with the provisions of the Education Act 1994. The Activities of the Combination Room shall be in accord with its written constitution of which the provisions of Part 9 shall prevail if there is any conflict with a provision in another Part of the Constitution. 1.4.2 Notice St Edmund’s College brings to the attention of all student members (a) the existence of the above code of practice and the written constitution of the Combination Room; (b) the allowed activities of the Combination Room may be restricted by the law relating to charities; (c) under Section 43 of the Education (No 2) Act 1986 the College has produced a Code of Practice governing meetings on College premises which may be found on the College website (See Appendix 4 on http://www.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk ‘Information for Members’). Every student has the right not to be a member of the Combination Room but if a student wishes to exercise this right written notice must be given to the President of the Combination Room within one week of the commencement of the Michaelmas Term. Any student who exercises this right will not be unfairly disadvantaged with regard to the provision of services or otherwise, by reason of their having done so. If the College is required to provide a student with services of a kind which the Combination Room provides for its members the cost shall be determined by the Finance and General Purposes Committee in each individual case but shall not exceed the Combination Room subscription. 1.5 THE VON HÜGEL INSTITUTE The Von Hügel Institute was founded in 1987 as a research institute of the College, which carried forward the Catholic tradition of the College through its research focus on Catholic Social Policy. It was named in honour of the Baron Anatole von Hügel, a nineteenth century ethnographer and one of the College’s founders. It is presently housed in the White Cottage.
The College and its Membership 15 The Institute was re-structured in 2004 as a cluster of small research centres (Chair, Professor David Bridges). The centres share a common concern in addressing issues of injustice, social exclusion, poverty and violence. Each centre brings multi-disciplinary perspectives to its research, and the Institute has a remarkably rich intellectual capacity running through science, economics, sociology, ethnography, history, political theory, theology and philosophy. The Institute is committed to working in a wide ecumenical context in regard both to the appointment of staff and in collaboration with persons and institutions of different denominations, different faiths and all those who share a concern for a more just and inclusive society. Regular seminars, workshops and conferences provide opportunities for members to contribute to the academic life of the College and the University. The work of the Institute is organised under three research centres, as follows: (a) The Centre for the study of Faith in Society (Co-Directors, Dr Andrew Bradstock and Mr Francis Davis) reflects the Catholic and more widely Christian foundation of the Institute in seeking to apply Catholic thinking to the social agenda and by informing Catholic thinking through its research into social issues. Its research programme includes projects on evangelisation, faith-based social action, poverty, Catholic education, ethnic groups, exclusion, bioethics and business ethics. (b) The Centre for Sustainability and Capability (Director, Dr Flavio Comim) tackles issues in human and sustainable development from, in particular, a capability perspective. Topics include povertyenvironmental linkages; gender, education and health issues; the operationalisation of the capability approach; the distributive impact of social policies; social capital; and sustainability and poverty measures. The Centre accommodates the Capability Library with a unique collection of all the published works and some unpublished material by Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen. (c) The Centre for Educational Research and Development (Director, Professor David Bridges). Its research includes work in the areas of: social inclusion and access to educational opportunity (including open and distance learning); the role of education in regional and national development; moral, religious and spiritual education; and education, citizenship and civil society. Its members share a strong interest too in research methodologies which empower and give voice to participants. 1.6 THE FARADAY INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE & RELIGION The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion represents an ensemble of short-term projects funded by the John Templeton Foundation which has the aim of promoting academic research and understanding in the field of science and religion. The Institute has four main activities: first, scholarly
