Editing University of Dublin (section)

===Senate composition===
The undermentioned persons are members of the Senate, provided that in each case
they are doctors or masters of the university:
# Resident doctors or masters of the university, that is, doctors or masters who are not members of the college or university staff but who hold rooms in college or are in attendance on lectures in arts or in the professional schools.
# Doctors and masters of the university who have held a Studentship of the university, or are Moderators who have been awarded a large [[gold medal]], or moderators who have received a gold medal in or after 1935, or moderators who have received two moderatorships of a class higher than class III, and who have applied to the registrar of the Senate for membership of the Senate, without payment of fee.
# Former Fellows of the college.
# Representatives and former representatives of the university in Seanad Éireann.
# Members of the staff of the college or university, during their tenure of office.
# Doctors or masters of the university who have applied to the registrar of the Senate for membership of the Senate, and have paid a fee of (£5 in 1966 – €65 in 2012)

(Although these rules make every holder of master's degree or a doctorate eligible to be a member of the University Senate, they in practice facilitate a membership consisting largely of members of the staff of the college. Consequently, while the Senate in Dublin formally, or potentially resembles in composition the Senate at Cambridge, in practice it has a similar composition to the [[Regent House]] at Cambridge.)
