4. ITEMS ORIGINATING FROM SECTION C

4.1 Minute 11.1.2 of Meeting 7/98 - Extension of the Master and Graduate Diploma of Public Policy and Management courses by distance education to Singapore

This item originates from item 5 - Matters Arising from the Minutes. The item was starred at Steering Committee.

This item was withdrawn from Meeting 7/98 due to uncertainty about whether it had been through all of the appropriate procedures. Further investigation revealed some ambiguity in the procedures and varying practices across faculties. Given this variation with at least some proposals for change of location proceeding to the Offshore Quality Assurance Committee without having been to the Education Committee, it was decided to bring the proposal back to Academic Board for approval. The ambiguity in the procedures is currently being addressed.

These courses are currently offered through the Centre for Public Management and the Distance Education Centre, Gippsland campus. The proposal under this item, which was initiated by the Monash Mt Eliza Business School and endorsed by the Offshore Quality Assurance Committee for submission to the Academic Board, seeks to extend the offering of both courses to Singapore through the Technology Management Centre.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Planning), Professor AW Lindsay, will speak to this item.

Recommendation:

That, noting the endorsement of the Offshore Quality Assurance Committee, Academic Board approve the proposal of the Monash Mt Eliza Business School to extend the offering of the Master and Graduate Diploma of Public Policy and Management to Singapore, through the Technology Management Centre, commencing semester one, 1999.

4.2 Undergraduate Diplomas p 303-304

This item originates from item 6 - Matters Referred to Academic Board by Council. The item was starred at Steering Committee.

A document is attached.

At its Meeting 3/98, Council approved the proposal of the Academic Board to establish the award level of University Undergraduate Diploma, involving forty-eight (48) points of Monash University subjects, in the context of two proposals for sequential diplomas in Languages and Psychology. At that meeting it was foreshadowed that further patterns, such as those involving an academically coherent study across a range of cognate disciplines, would be considered when such proposals emerged.

Two such diplomas, titled the Diploma of Undergraduate Studies and the Diploma of Foundation Studies, were approved by the Academic Board at its Meeting 7/98. It was then recommended to Council that the award category of Undergraduate Diploma be extended to include a focus on breadth, consequently enabling confirmation of the Academic Board's approval of these awards. Council expressed some reservations about the awards, sought clarification regarding certain aspects of the awards (detailed in the document presented) and referred the matter to the Academic Board for further consideration.

The Associate Chair of Academic Board, Professor M Evans, will speak to this item.

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board:

note the clarification of several points raised by Council as detailed in the document presented, with a view to it forming the basis of a further elaborated paper for Council 8/98; and

approve the renaming of the Diploma of Undergraduate Studies as the Diploma of Introductory Undergraduate Studies.

4.3 Master of Applied Finance p 23-26

This item originates from item 8.5.1 - Report of the Education Committee. The item was starred at Steering Committee.

A document is attached. Refer also to item 8.1 - Graduate Studies Policy - Schedule of Exceptions.

The Education Committee endorsed for submission to Academic Board the proposal of the Board of the Faculty of Business and Economics to establish a Master of Applied Finance, commencing semester two, 1999 as an on-campus course at the Caulfield campus and in distance education mode. The Committee noted that the Master of Applied Finance is comprised of eight subjects (forty-eight credit points) completed in one year of full time study or two years of part time study.

In discussion of the proposed forty-eight point course, the Committee considered the following factors:

the forces at play in an increasingly competitive market place;
clear evidence of demand for such a course;
the availability of a similarly structured course at two highly regarded institutions; and
the professional orientation of the proposed course.

The Committee noted that this proposal involved a significant variation from standard practices or past exceptions. It explored in detail the strengths and justification provided by the Faculty.

The Education Committee agreed that the proposal for the Master of Applied Finance fell within the categories of exception outlined in the Graduate Studies Policy and set out in the draft Schedule of Exceptions (refer item 8.1).

The Chair of Academic Board and the Education Committee, Professor AW Lindsay, will speak to this item.

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board approve the proposal of the Faculty of Business and Economics to establish the Master of Applied Finance, commencing semester two, 1999 as an on-campus course at the Caulfield campus and in distance education mode.

4.4 Nominations for the Award of Honorary Degrees

C CONFIDENTIAL ITEM

This item originated from item 10.1 - Report of the Honorary Degrees Committee.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor DA Robinson, will speak to this item.

A document is attached.

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board note for transmission to Council:

the report of the working party formed at meeting 6/98 of the Board of the Faculty of Arts to investigate the establishment of an interdisciplinary centre in Classical Studies; and

the following motions which were passed at the Arts Faculty Board meeting held on 7 October 1998:

That this Faculty Board recognises that very considerable damage will be done to the teaching and research capacity of the Faculty if Classics disappears entirely from the disciplines within the Faculty of Arts. As a result of this recognition, Faculty Board undertakes to attempt to preserve expertise within the area of Classical Studies in the hope of better days to come.

Toward this end, Faculty Board endorses the creation of an interdisciplinary Centre for Studies in the Classical Tradition along the lines proposed by the working party.

As a first step in this process, Faculty Board asks the Dean to call on disciplines within the new school structure to register expressions of interest in making joint appointments within the proposed Centre.

If such expressions are forthcoming, this Faculty Board calls on the Vice-Chancellor and University Council to note motion 3 (detailed in quotation marks below) passed by this Faculty Board on 9 September 1998, when it acknowledged and began the implementation of the amended Blueprint document. Since this motion accompanied the Blueprint document tabled by the Vice-Chancellor at University Council, this Board understands that both parties find it acceptable and that they thereby agree to heed the "call to take whatever steps are possible to limit damage and assist us to maintain the standing and reputation of the Faculty and the University." In the spirit of this agreement Arts Faculty Board asks the Vice-Chancellor and Council to provide the funding for these two positions in manner specified in the report of the working party.

(Secretarial Note: Academic Board received a presentation on the Monash University Sunway Campus Malaysia from the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor J Warren, at its Meeting 7/98 (Minute 3.1).)

8.2 Membership Matters p 19-21

A document which sets out the current structure and membership of the Education Committee is attached.

The Education Committee endorsed a proposal to extend the formal Education Committee membership to include Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies). This would permit greater input from faculty representatives whose expertise lies in the area of graduate/postgraduate study in line with the Committee's terms of reference (attached) and the increasing number of graduate courses and subjects submitted for consideration by the Committee. The following procedural mechanisms would be adopted:

Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies) (title and exact role may vary according to the faculty of origin) would be eligible for Education Committee membership.
Deans would nominate up to two of their Associate Deans with teaching-related responsibilities to become members of the Education Committee.
To preserve the appropriate balance between academic units, voting rights would be exercised by one Education Committee member from each Faculty.
Unless the Chair is otherwise advised by the Dean, it would be assumed that the Associate Dean responsible for undergraduate matters would exercise the right to vote.
As provided in Section 14.2 of Statute 2.2 - The Academic Board (Substitution) Statute, a quorum at a meeting of the Education Committee is 'one third of the members, taken to the nearest whole number where the committee has sixteen or more members (draft legislation, awaiting ministerial signature).

At present, each Associate Dean (Teaching) may have an alternate to represent his/her Faculty when he/she is unable to attend meetings of the Education Committee. Alternates are designated by the Dean of the relevant faculty.
The Associate Dean (Teaching) and the Associate Dean (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies) from the relevant faculty would serve as alternates for each other. No additional alternate would be nominated.

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board approve the proposal to extend the membership of the Education Committee to include Associate Deans (Graduate / Postgraduate Studies ) or equivalent, as outlined above.

At its Meeting 7/98, the Education approved both courses for delivery in on-campus mode.

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board amend its resolutions from Meeting 6/98 (Minutes 10.2.14 and 10.2.15) to reflect the intention of the Faculty of Information Technology to establish the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing to be offered commencing semester one, 1999 in on-campus mode at the Peninsula campus.

REPORT TO ACADEMIC BOARD

Report to the Academic Board of Meeting No.7/98 of the Committee of Associate Deans (Research) held on Thursday, 22 October, 1998 in the Sir George Lush Meeting Room, Clayton Campus.

PROCEEDINGS

Audit of non-DEETYA categories for 1997 Publications Collection

It was reported that the audit had been completed and the data forwarded to Budget and Statistical Services. It was noted that a zero error was applied to the Accident Research Centre, instead of the non-faculty error rate.

Professor Darvall passed a vote of thanks to Branch staff and everyone in the faculties, for their sterling efforts in the data collection and audit.

ARC Small Grants Moderating Committee - 1999 grants

It was noted that Professor Jarrott had been nominated to chair the Moderating Committee, which is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, 8 December, 1998. It was also noted that external members had been invited from the University of Sydney (Humanities/Social Sciences) and the University of Melbourne (Science).

CSIRO

In 1991 an accord was struck between Monash and CSIRO regarding the supervision of post-graduate students and use of equipment. It was noted that the resources and proximity of CSIRO were great assets to the University. CRCs allow for valuable links with CSIRO resources. CSIRO agreed that an audit would be carried out of the joint use of facilities, and in particular, usage of expensive equipment.

Audit of Research Publicity Material.

Staff from University Marketing and Development gave a presentation on the new format for the University's principal publications, and the opportunities available to present research activities. ADRs agreed to be contacted by the Media Liaison Officer if he is looking for a suitable person on a particular topic to speak with the media.

CADRES members were asked to encourage staff to be included in the updated version of the Media Guide.

CADRES members were invited to provide University Marketing and Development with industry names for inclusion on its database to receive Monash News.

It was suggested that the Research Guide should be retained because the content identified areas of expertise of researchers in a faculty/department.

Professor Darvall asked if effectiveness measures could be ascertained for the Research Guide, Monash University Magazine and Eureka Professor Darvall, with the Branch, agreed to develop processes with the University Marketing and Development to ensure continual liaison regarding research publications for the University.

5. Research Infrastructure Subcommittee

The subcommittee recognised that there were strategic issues to be discussed but had met to consider pressing items: the Library, high performance computing and animal housing.

The subcommittee felt that Monash provided more RIBG funding to the Library than other universities. It was recognised that Monash cannot solve the 'Serials Crisis' in isolation, as it was a national problem. After discussion it was agreed that the subcommittee should first seek advice as to ways of buying subscriptions, and then contact the University Librarian for details on the processes of expending the current allocation of RIBG of 15%.

It was noted that the University's current high performance computing equipment is overused. This would be further discussed at the next meeting of the subcommittee.

Professor Darvall advised that the current animal facilities were to be rebuilt. Pigs and wallabies would not be kept on University premises, and all other animals would be rehoused in facilities up to SPF standards.

1998 CRC Round - applications from Monash University

It was noted that Monash was a partner in 14 of the 59 applications submitted nationally.

7. Proposed Medical Research Investment Fund

Mr Klestadt spoke to this item and advised that the proposal had surface six months ago when NHMRC and County Investments formed an agreement to develop and investment fund to support basic medical research in return for a proportion of the IP. It was noted that little information was currently available from NHMRC.

Academic Board 8/98 - Item 8

Monash University

Education Committee Meeting No 7/98

Report to Academic Board

The Education Committee met on 4 November, 1998

Receipt of Report
Recommendation:

That Academic Board receive the Report of the Education Committee 7/98 held on 4 November 1998.

Graduate Studies Policy - Schedule of Exceptions

A document is attached (Attachment 1). See related Items 6.1, 7.2 and 7.3.

The Graduate Studies Policy adopted by Academic Board at Meeting 8/95 foreshadowed the development of a Schedule of Exceptions for Masters courses (Recommendations 5, p11 and 11, p14). A Schedule is attached for endorsement by the Board in line with recent exceptions to the Policy guidelines (set out in the Schedule) approved by the Board at Meetings 6/98 and 7/98.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board approve the attached Schedule of Exceptions for inclusion in the Graduate Studies Policy.

Membership Matters

A document setting out the current structure and membership of Education Committee is attached (Attachment 2).

Education Committee endorsed a proposal to extend formal Education Committee membership to Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies). This would permit greater input from Faculty representatives whose expertise lies in the area of graduate/postgraduate study in line with the Committee's terms of reference (attached) and the increasing number of graduate courses and subjects submitted for consideration by the Committee. The following procedural mechanisms would be adopted:

Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies) (title and exact role may vary according to Faculty of origin) would be eligible for Education Committee membership.
Deans would nominate up to two of their Associate Deans with teaching-related responsibilities to become members of Education Committee.
To preserve the appropriate balance between academic units, voting rights would be exercised by one Education Committee member from each Faculty.
Unless the Chair is otherwise advised by the Dean, it would be assumed that the Associate Dean responsible for undergraduate matters would exercise the right to vote.
As provided in Statute 2.2 - The Academic Board (Substitution) Statute, section 14.2, a quorum at a meeting of Education Committee is 'one third of the members, taken to the nearest whole number where the committee has sixteen or more members' (draft legislation, awaiting ministerial signature). In the case of Education Committee this would be taken to mean one third of the total membership, including Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies).
At present, each Associate Dean (Teaching) may have an alternate to represent his/her Faculty when he/she is unable to attend Meetings of the Education Committee. Alternates are designated by the Dean of the relevant Faculty.
The Associate Dean (Teaching) and the Associate Dean (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies) from the relevant Faculty would serve as alternates for each other. No additional alternate would be nominated.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board approve the proposal to extend Education Committee membership to Associate Deans (Graduate/Postgraduate Studies ) or equivalent, as outlined above.

Approved modes for the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing

At Education Committee Meeting 5/98, the Faculty of Information Technology submitted proposals for the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing for approval and endorsement by Academic Board. Academic Board approved these courses as off-campus. However, the course proposal specified their delivery as "flexible". The intention of the Faculty (and the understanding of the Postgraduate Evaluation Panel) was that the course be offered in on-campus mode with the transition to more flexible delivery over time. At Meeting 7/98 Education approved both courses for delivery in on-campus mode.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board amend its resolution of Meeting 6/98 to reflect the intention of the Faculty of Information Technology to establish the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing to be offered commencing in Semester 1 1999 in on-campus mode at the Peninsula campus.

FURTHER CHANGE OF AWARD TITLE - GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN CLINICAL PHARMACY

At Meeting 6/98 Education Committee endorsed the proposal of the Victorian College of Pharmacy to change the name of the Graduate Diploma in Hospital Pharmacy to the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy. Upon advice received from the University Solicitor's Office, it is now proposed to change the award title to Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy. Accordingly, at Meeting 7/98 Education Committee endorsed the proposal for a further change of award title to Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board approve the proposal of the Victorian College of Pharmacy to change the award title of the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy to the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy.

Academic Board 8/98- Item 9

REPORT OF THE GENERAL LIBRARY COMMITTEE

Report to the Academic Board of Meeting No 3/98 of the General Library Committee held on Wednesday 16 September 1998 at 10am in the Sir Louis Matheson Library Conference Room.

R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S

1. RECEIPT OF REPORT

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board receive and note the Report of the General Library Committee Meeting No 3/98 held on 16 September 1998.

P R O C E E D I N G S

2. STRATEGIC INNOVATIONS FUND APPLICATION

The Chair congratulated all concerned on the successful outcome. The timetable for the expenditure of the funds was outlined by Professor Quartly.

3. LIBRARY BOOK AND SERIALS BUDGET

Following a meeting between the Chair, University Librarian and Professor Alan Lindsay in regard to funding of serials, the matter was referred to and is still in hand with Professor Darvall, as serials were regarded as research resources and thus more appropriate to his portfolio and that of CADRES.

4. REPORTS OF USER COMMITTEES

GLC received and noted the reports of the User Committees.

5. UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN'S REPORT

New Library System

The University Librarian reported briefly on the reasons for selecting Voyager and outlined the timeframe for implementation. Particular interest was expressed in the Image Server software which would be of great benefit to support teaching at the Sunway campus. The Deputy Librarian said that it was planned to mirror the electronic reserve facility developed for the Berwick campus at the Sunway campus to avoid problems with inadequate telecommunications between Australia and Malaysia.

Serials Cancellations

The University Librarian said that the AVCC is taking note of the massive inflation in serials pricing which is now impacting on even the richest libraries internationally. Heavy lobbying of DEETYA may result in some funding for cooperative information centres in various disciplines within a national system. The electronic journal is not a solution as long as commercial publishers control the bulk of the world's scholarly output. Libraries are now forming consortia in the hope that they will be able to negotiate better deals with publishers.

Authentication

The University Librarian expressed appreciation to the Computer Centre for helping to resolve the problem of access to data bases via an Internet Service Provider where the method of authentication was Monash University's Internet Protocol address.

6. LIBRARY FINANCIAL REPORT

GLC received and noted the Library Financial Report as at 31 August 1998.

7. TERMS OF REFERENCE OF GLC AND OF USER COMMITTEES

Lengthy discussion took place on the role of the Law Library Advisory Committee under the proposed membership and terms of reference of library user committees.

The following motion was passed by General Library Committee (5 in favour, 4 against, 3 abstentions)

That the proposal for three Library Advisory Committees as originally put forward in the report of the Working Party to Review Terms of Reference of GLC and of User Committees should be adopted.

8. PROPOSED 1999 LIBRARY HOURS

The proposed new hours were endorsed without dissent.

9. MONASH UNIVERSITY SUNWAY CAMPUS, MALAYSIA

The Associate Librarian reported on her discussions during a visit to the Sunway campus in July.

10. FACULTY BASED FUNDING FOR 1999

The University Librarian advised that a working party had been established to recommend amounts of money to be taken off the top of the books and serials allocation for site requirements and to ensure that the factors currently used to distribute the book funds will not disadvantage any faculty. A report will be submitted to GLC for discussion.

Academic Board 8/98 - Item 11

Monash University

PhD AND SCHOLARSHIPS COMMITTEE

Report to Academic Board

Meeting No. 9/98 of the PhD and Scholarships Committee was held on Friday 9 October 1998.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. REQUEST FOR COURSE APPROVAL: MASTER OF EDUCATION BY RESEARCH BY EXTERNAL MODE

In response to the Committee's serious concern that the residency requirement was being reduced in this program to 20 days for the entire two-year course, the Faculty of Education defended its position thus:

The University already distinguishes between the requirements of PhD and MEd for part-time on-campus students. PhD students are required to spend six months full-time on campus, whereas there is no such requirement for MEd. PhD students are required to obtain a letter from their employer guaranteeing time available during the week to work on their thesis; no such requirement is imposed for MEd.
The University is in a competitive national and international market, and if we make the requirements too stringent, we will lose students.

The faculty would defend its proposal of twenty days total attendance during candidature as being adequate; the proposal provides sufficient flexibility to allow the time to be spent when it is fruitful for the candidate and mutually convenient for the candidate, supervisor and employer. For overseas students, the proposal allows students to meet the residency requirement in a single time interval, thus reducing travel costs.

If the PSC wishes to argue for a more stringent requirement, it should bear in mind that travel support is available for only one trip to Monash during the period of candidature. If the PSC was to insist that an overseas candidate paying full fees also pay for a second airfare and accommodation in order to attend Monash annually, this would simply deter potential candidates from applying.

In response, the Executive Chairman reminded members that it was only recently that the Committee had assumed responsibility for the approval of masters by research programs. Earlier procedures in relation to research masters degrees had therefore been determined by the faculties not the PhD and Scholarships Committee.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board approve the proposal that the existing MEd also be offered by external mode.

(Appendix 1)

REQUEST FOR COURSE AND SUBJECT APPROVAL: MASTER OF COMMERCE AND MASTER OF ECONOMICS (HONS); MARKETING MKF5990 MARKETING GRADUATE SEMINAR

2.1 MCom (Hons) and MEc (Hons)

The Faculty of Business and Economics offers a number of masters degrees, some of which are by coursework alone, others by coursework and minor thesis, some by

coursework and major thesis and some are by major thesis alone. However, only those masters programs with a significant research component are acceptable precursors to the PhD program.

The Faculty believed that the time had now come to make a clear distinction between "research" masters degrees and those which have a professional focus.

Academic Board at its meeting of 28 January 1998 had also agreed that offering the award of Masters (honours) would provide a clear pathway for prospective doctoral candidates from Bachelors (honours), through Masters (honours) to PhD.

The Faculty therefore sought the PhD and Scholarship Committee's endorsement of its proposal that the existing MCom and MEc program be renamed MCom (Hons) and MEc (Hons) respectively.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board approve the proposal that the existing MCom and MEc program be renamed MCom (Hons) and MEc (Hons).

(Appendix 2)

2.2 MKF 5990 Marketing Graduate Seminar

It was noted that this was a "zero" weighted subject which masters and doctoral students

nevertheless had to complete before undertaking their research component. This was a device to ensure that they defended their research proposal before an audience of peers.

Recommendation:

That Academic Board approve the new subject MKF 5990.

(Appendix 3)

PROCEEDINGS

MGS BUDGET

Over recent weeks faculties have expressed their concern that the number of new awards in 1999 might fall below 100.

Since Melbourne offered 150 new awards annually, it was argued that Monash should remain competitive by at least maintaining its present number of new MGS.

It was noted that under the 1999 Draft Learning and Teaching Operational Plan, one of the University's strategies was to "expand higher degrees by research". Members concurred that an MGS budget which guaranteed at least 100 new awards each year, underpinned such an objective.

ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORTS

The Committee agreed that a small working party comprising Professors King, Threadgold and Rood be convened to overview all reports requiring interim reports or other follow-up, in order to identify general trends that might require action from the Committee. The possibility of a small contingency fund being set aside in the MGS budget for supporting students whose program might be seriously affected by the closing or amalgamation of some academic units, was foreshadowed.

EMERITUS PROFESSOR J McCARTY: FORMER MEMBER OF THE PhD AND SCHOLARSHIPS COMMITTEE

It was with much sadness that Professor King reported the recent death of Professor J McCarty, a long-standing member of the Committee and its Steering Committee. The Executive Chairman observed that Professor McCarty was remembered with great affection by those who had worked with him and was much admired for the wise counsel he had always brought to the Committee's deliberations.

3. Interdisciplinary Centre for the Studies in the Classical Tradition

RECOMMENDATIONS:

That Academic Board receive and note the report of the working party set up at meeting 6/98 of the Arts Faculty Board to investigate the establishment of an interdisciplinary centre in Classical Studies and to transmit the report to Council.

(Secretarial note: This report was presented at meeting 7/98 of the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Arts on Wednesday 7 October 1998).

(Appendix 2)

That Academic Board receive and note the following motions passed at the Arts Faculty Board meeting held on 7 October 1998 for transmission to Council:

That this Faculty Board recognises that very considerable damage will be done to the teaching and research capacity of the Faculty if Classics disappears entirely from the disciplines within the Faculty of Arts. As a result of this recognition, Faculty Board undertakes to attempt to preserve expertise within the area of Classical Studies in the hope of better days to come.

Toward this end, Faculty Board endorses the creation of an interdisciplinary Centre for Studies in the Classical Tradition along the lines proposed by the working party.

As a first step in this process, Faculty Board asks the Dean to call on disciplines within the new school structure to register expressions of interest in making joint appointments within the proposed Centre.

If such expressions are forthcoming, this Faculty Board calls on the Vice-Chancellor and University Council to note motion 3 passed by this Faculty Board on 9 September when it acknowledged and began the implementation of the amended Blueprint document. Since this motion accompanied the Blueprint document tabled by the Vice - Chancellor at University Council, this Board understands that both parties find it acceptable and that they thereby agree to heed the 'call to take whatever steps are possible to limit damage and assist us to maintain the standing and reputation of the Faculty and the University.' In the spirit of this agreement Arts Faculty Board asks the Vice - Chancellor and Council to provide the funding for these two positions in manner specified in the report of the working party.

4. Motion on Malaysia

RECOMMENDATION:

That Academic Board note the following motion referred to Academic Board and the Equity Committee:

"That Faculty Board seek assurances from the University that continuing support for and involvement in the Malaysian campus of Monash University does not breach its commitment to freedom of expression, toleration of religious difference, commitment to quality education at the highest levels achievable and measurable by our declaration to provide international access to Monash degrees."

5. Honorary Appointment

RECOMENDATION:

That Academic Board note the Dean's appointment of an Honorary Research Associate as follows:

Department of Classics and Archaeology

Mr G F Fitzgerald as Honorary Research Associate for a two year period 1 November 1998 to 31 October 2000.

6. Music Department Process

RECOMMENDATION:

SCHOOL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

Introduction

The Faculty Board is asked to approve the formation of a School of Electronic Commerce, pursuant to the University Statute 2.3.2, Multi-departmental Schools. It is proposed as a cross-faculty School, with a 50/50 division based on input, student load, etc., between the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Information Technology. The managing Faculty will be the Faculty of Business and Economics under the Multi-departmental Schools Regulations 2.1.2. The School will operate across the Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton and Gippsland campuses, initially with the majority of its academic staff concentrated at Berwick and Gippsland.

The School will offer the degree of Bachelor of Electronic Commerce from 1999 and will develop associated graduate degrees for offering in the future. It will take over teaching and administrative responsibility for the existing Graduate Certificate, Executive Certificate and Graduate Diploma in Electronic Commerce. In addition, the new School will take over teaching responsibility for the existing electronic commerce subjects in the Bachelor of Business and Electronic Commerce offered at the Gippsland campus and by distance education and deliver these subjects on a service teaching basis.

The Faculties will provide funding, teaching and administrative support until the School is self-sufficient. It is anticipated that the School will be self sufficient within three years.

The position of Head of School will be filled by the appointee to the Chair of Electronic Commerce which is currently being advertised.

The proposed starting date for the School of Electronic Commerce is the 1^st of January 1999.

Background

In response to the Vice Chancellor's concern regarding the fragmentation of electronic commerce activities at Monash, a review of this area was commissioned by the Deans of Business and Economics and Information Technology. Professor Mark Gabbot of the Department of Marketing carried out the review which was completed at the end of July 1997. He found that electronic commerce activities are widely spread across departments and schools and over different campuses but are focussed in the Faculties of Business and Economics and Information Technology, and in the Centre for Electronic Commerce at Gippsland. Several degrees are offered that can be categorised as electronic commerce in whole or part, but they have mostly been developed without significant ongoing cooperation between the different groups involved. As a result, teaching, research, funding opportunities and business initiatives have been fragmented. The Review reported that consolidation of knowledge and infrastructure is required for Monash to take full advantage of the considerable expertise and resources that it has in this area. The key recommendations of the Review are that a cross faculty unit in electronic commerce be set up and that a Chair in Electronic Commerce be created. In addition the Review proposed an undergraduate degree in electronic commerce to be taught from the Berwick campus.

Discussion

Electronic Commerce

Electronic commerce involves the use of information technology for buying and selling and for managing the supply of goods and services between organisations. The use of electronic commerce is becoming ubiquitous in developed economies as witnessed by the recent growth in use of the Internet. It will be one of the growth areas in information technology and business in the foreseeable future. Presently Monash has an advantage over other universities with its depth and range of activity in electronic commerce but the University must move quickly to consolidate its market advantage. Other institutions are currently implementing teaching programs to capitalise on the emerging market.

Existing Electronic Commerce Activities

Teaching activities covering the range of electronic commerce cross faculty boundaries but are focussed in the faculties of Business and Economics and Information Technology. However, within these faculties they are spread between several schools and departments over four campuses. Active research in electronic commerce is occurring in the School of Information Management and Systems, School of Business Systems, Gippsland School of Computing and Information Technology, Department of Marketing and the School of Business and Electronic Commerce. Consulting and business activities in electronic commerce are primarily carried out by the Centre for Electronic Commerce, located at Gippsland. It is proposed to consolidate these disparate groups into a single School of Electronic Commerce that will be administered by the Faculties of Business and Economics and Information Technology. Implementation of this proposal will enable Monash University to be recognised as the leader in electronic commerce teaching and research in Australia.

Funding Model

All revenue relevant to the School's activities will flow directly to the School, out of which all relevant expenses will be met, on an annual basis. Any annual surpluses will accrue, while any annual losses will be shared on a 50-50 basis by the two faculties, unless they can be covered by accumulated surpluses.

Programs

The Monash Plan, "Leading the Way", has identified Berwick campus as offering programs with an information technology orientation. In accordance with the Plan, a new Bachelor of Electronic Commerce will be offered as a full time course on the Berwick campus in 1999. This will also fulfil the aim of the Plan to increase the presence of the Faculty of Information Technology at that campus. The course will be a joint program of the faculties of Business and Economics and Information Technology, with the Faculty of Business and Economics being the managing faculty. The program will offer new subjects currently being approved and existing subjects drawn from the two faculties. DEETYA load has been allocated for the course. In addition, graduate offerings will be developed by the new School and existing electronic commerce teaching areas consolidated within the School. Existing programs with a substantial electronic commerce focus are:

Bachelor of Business and Electronic Commerce (School of Business and Electronic Commerce at Gippsland)
Executive Certificate in Electronic Commerce by Distance Education (School of Business and Electronic Commerce at Gippsland)
Graduate Certificate in Electronic Commerce by Distance Education (School of Business and Electronic Commerce at Gippsland)
Graduate Diploma in Electronic Commerce by Distance Education (School of Business and Electronic Commerce at Gippsland)

Programs which include subjects relevant to the area include:

Graduate Diploma in Information Systems (Caulfield)
Master of Information Systems (Caulfield)
Graduate Diploma in Business Technology (Caulfield)
Graduate Diploma in Business Systems (Clayton) and by Distance Education (Gippsland)
Master of Business Systems (Clayton) and by Distance Education (Gippsland)

Proposed as a new course is:

Master of Electronic Commerce by Distance Education and Block Mode

Staffing and Funding

The Executive Certificate in Electronic Commerce, Graduate Certificate in Electronic Commerce and Graduate Diploma in Electronic Commerce will become programs of the new School. As appropriate, staff currently teaching the electronic commerce subjects in these courses will be transferred into the new School. In addition, the new School has been allocated DEETYA load of 36 EFTSU in 1999, increasing to 174 EFTSU in 2002, for the Bachelor of Electronic Commerce. All other courses will be on a fee-paying basis. In addition, it is anticipated that some international students will enroll in the Bachelor of Electronic Commerce.

Start up funding will be provided by the administering faculties until the School is able to fund its own activities, then it will be funded on the same basis as the existing Schools and Departments within the Faculties. Where appropriate, existing staff involved in the area of electronic commerce will be seconded or transferred to the School. A financial model will need to be developed to define transfer funding for any services imported to, or provided by, the School.

Recommendation

The Faculty Boards of the Faculty of Information Technology and the Faculty of Business and Economics are asked to approve the proposal to form a School of Electronic Commerce. The proposed School will be a cross-faculty venture between the Faculty of Business and Economics and Information Technology with the Faculty of Business and Economics as the managing faculty.

FACULTY BOARD 98/04

REPORT TO ACADEMIC BOARD

Meeting 98/04 of the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Science was held at 2.00 pm on Wednesday 23 September 1998 in the Faculty of Science Meeting Room, Clayton Campus.

PROCEEDINGS

Faculty Representative on University Readership/Associate

Professorship Committee

At its meeting on 23 September, the Faculty Board appointed Professor W.R. Jackson as the Faculty's representative on the University Readership/Associate Professorship Committee.

Sunway Campus, Malaysia

The Dean reported that the Manager, External Relations had recently visited the Sunway campus to examine marketing aspects for Faculty courses. The Faculty would be represented in the "roadshow" in December.

It was also reported that, in response to demand from Business students, the Diploma of Psychology would be offered on the campus. This opened up the possibility of the Psychology major within the BSc and, given time constraints, the Board authorised the Faculty Executive to approve the necessary documentation to effect this end.

The significant challenge involved in marketing the Faculty's courses was emphasised. As an example, the Board was advised that the Resource Management program would be better promoted with the word "environment" in it. The Dean reiterated previous advice that proposals for Sunway must have the potential to generate income.

The Biomedical Librarian reported that the Sunway campus had received a funding allocation to support courses there, obviating the need for a call on budgets from other campuses. This was noted with satisfaction.

Hargrave Library

The Minutes of Meeting 2/98 of the Hargrave Library Committee held on 17 June 1998 were noted by the Board.

Concern was expressed at the funding crisis within the Library which, it was suggested, was now hurting the research effort of the University. Considerable discussion ensued, it being noted that a proposed change in the funding formula for the allocation of library funds had not been approved. A lack of communication was identified between those making policy and those affected.

The Dean assured the Biomedical Librarian of the Faculty's strong support for her efforts to improve the situation.

(AMENDMENT NO 1 1998) REGULATIONS

These regulations combine and replace the two current regulations governing Faculty of Science undergraduate degrees i.e. Bachelor of Applied Science Degrees (Gippsland) and Undergraduate Degrees regulations.

Apart from drafting and other consequential changes resulting from combining the two regulations, the only difference between the former regulations and the new Undergraduate Degrees regulations is the addition of the following degrees:

Bachelor of Applied Science (Biological and Medical Sciences)

Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology)

Bachelor of Science (Chemical and Analytical Sciences)

Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Sciences)

Bachelor of Science (Mathematics Data Analysis and Modelling)

Bachelor of Science (Physics and Analytical Science)

Bachelor of Science (Resource Management)

Bachelor of Behavioural Neuroscience

Bachelor of Environmental Science.

Of these new degrees -

Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology), Bachelor of Science (Chemical and Analytical Sciences), Bachelor of Science (Mathematics Data Analysis and Modelling) and Bachelor of Science (Resource Management) were approved by Academic Board at meeting 2/97 on 26 February 1997;
Bachelor of Behavioural Neuroscience and Bachelor of Environmental Science were approved by Academic Board at meeting 5/98 on 22 July 1998; and
Bachelor of Science (Biological and Medical Sciences), Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Sciences) and Bachelor of Science (Physics and Analytical Science) are a consequence of the change of title of the Bachelor of Applied Science to Bachelor of Science, which was approved by Academic Board at meeting 2/97. The six Bachelor of Applied Science degrees are at this stage retained in the regulations because of current students. Once these students have completed their studies, the Bachelor of Applied Science degrees will be deleted.

Academic Board 8/98 - Item 21

Interim recommendation of the

Academic Board LTOP Working Party on Multifaculty Programs

Proposals for new courses in recent years have increasingly recognised that the emerging educational and vocational needs of students are often most appropriately served by courses of study which integrate various disciplinary approaches in innovative ways. Various opportunities for out-of-faculty multi-disciplinary study currently are available at Monash. The present paper outlines a proposal for extending the recognition of academic programs that clearly overlap the scope of two faculties.

Background

The reports and deliberations of two University Committees are relevant to the present proposal.

The first of these is the Science at Monash Review Committee Report. The Report states the following:

Monash is not fully realising its potential in science teaching (and to a lesser extent, research) because of resistance to the development of multi-disciplinary programs, especially where they overlap faculty boundaries. The source of this resistance is partly organisational, partly disciplinary, but principally budgetary.

It further acknowledges that:

there are of course very sound academic justifications for some of the restrictions on students' choice of subjects-degrees must contain adequate content from the most relevant disciplines-however it is equally clear that there would be greater flexibility, greater innovation and more genuinely multi-disciplinary offerings if there was less 'protectiveness' about teaching load.'

The report includes a recommendation (Section 3.8 and Appendix 3) that an integrated set of proposals be developed based on a set of six options to facilitate innovation in multi-disciplinary and multi-faculty teaching and research.

The second committee working in areas which have a bearing on the current proposal is the LTOP Academic Board Working Party on Multi-faculty Programs. The Terms of Reference of this Working Party are to 'develop policies and processes for the establishment, governance and financing of university multi-faculty programs, courses and subjects." The recommendations of the Science Review, which relate to multidisciplinary programs, are relevant to its deliberations.

Since the Science Review some progress has been made on the proposal relating to cross-recognition of cognate disciplines. The practice which permits a major study in a non-faculty discipline to be counted as a major within their degree course rules has been adopted in two faculties. The Faculty of Science recognises the Arts disciplines of Geography and Environmental Science as Science disciplines (except for the BA/BSc where they are treated as Arts majors). The Faculty of Arts Board has agreed to recognise Psychology (Science) as an Arts discipline (except as a minor only in double degrees).

These developments have occurred without a formal policy framework. In order to facilitate progress it would be useful for the University to state an "in principle" endorsement of cross-faculty recognition of cognate disciplines. The Working Party recommends that Academic Board consider this at its next meeting.

Discussion by Academic Board will provide feedback to the Working Party. This can be incorporated into the development of appropriate implementation guidelines and procedures. (Implementation would, of course, need to take account of University and faculties' policies on credit transfer and the objectives and professional accreditation implications of the relevant courses.)

Recommendation:

That Academic Board:

endorses in principle the policy recommendation of the Science at Monash Review Committee: 'that departments whose academic programs clearly overlap the scope of two faculties be given full academic status in each (i.e. their subjects be treated as subjects of each faculty for the purposes of each faculty's rules), except where the relevant faculty makes a "specific, strong academic case"';

note that recommendations on implementation and procedures will follow in the full report of the working party.
