(3) The Vice-Chancellor may, on the recommendation of the Board, also remove any person from the membership of any authority or body of the University if he becomes mentally unsound or a deaf-mute or has applied to be adjudicated or has been adjudicated as insolvent. (4) If a member of any authority or body of the University who is not an ex officio member fails to attend three consecutive meetings of that authority or body, he shall cease to be a member of such authority or body, and thereupon the Registrar shall intimate him that he has ceased to be such member: Provided that such authority or body may if satisfied that there was sufficient cause for the failure of the member to attend the meetings, restore him to its membership.
