|||
| 2. | MINUTES | ||

| Previously circulated. | |||

| AB5/96 24 July 1996 Item No 3 |
|||
| 3. | MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES | ||
| 3.1 Development of a Monash University Language Policy | |||
| This item was referred to the Dean of Arts for action (Meeting 4/96, item 6.4). | |||
| RECOMMENDATION: | |||
| That the Academic Board note that a redraft of the Monash University Language Policy will be submitted through the Committee of Deans to Meeting 6/96 of the Board. | |||
| 3.2 Minutes of Meeting 4/95 - Saving of Rights Provision in Course Regulations - Implementation and Review | |||
| At Meeting 4/95 the Academic Board approved a new style saving of rights provision in
course regulations. The new wording is contained in all new course regulations made by
Council and promulgated since 26 June 1995. However the course regulations in force prior
to 26 June 1996 include several different forms of saving of rights clauses. The
University Solicitor has advised that these clauses will be amended as the course
regulations for each faculty are written in a new style and format. This is in preference
to an attempt to alter all the saving of rights clauses in regulations which are
themselves subject to major rewrite. The Academic Registrar was asked by the Academic Board (Meeting 4/95, Minute 3.2) to liaise with faculties twelve months from the implementation of the regulation (ie the new saving of rights provision), to seek their advice as to the effectiveness of its operation and advise the Academic Board accordingly. Since, however, many course regulations still do not contain the new wording, the Board is now asked to alter its previous request to the Academic Registrar. |
