94. Budget Matters
94.1 1992 Budget Matters

2, and 3, on underlying student load, supplementation, and
adjustments in regard to the University's 1992 operating budget.
94.2 1993 Budget Principles
PBW JRH JSW
The Committee received and discussed the appended paper, Attachment 4,
setting out principles agreed to by the Central Budgets Committee to govern
the framing of the University's 1993 operating budget.
In regard to item 1 of the paper, Mr Wade agreed to bring to a
later meeting a proposed break-down for allocation of the 31.5% of the
budget ear-marked for administration, the Library, and the Computer Centre.
It was acknowledged, however, that funding for the Vice-Chancellor's,
Registrar's, and Comptroller's areas may need to be varied as a result of
the outcome of the current review of the senior management structure. In
regard to item 2, it was agreed that the first budget run should allow
for ten additional Monash Graduate Scholarships and provide for an increase
in the MGS stipend to maintain the existing parity with other awards. It was
also agreed that all budgetary categories relating to research support,
apart from faculty teaching and research allocations, be groups under a
major heading of Additional Research Support or the like.
94.3 1993 Budget Matters
Deans
The Committee received and noted the appended papers, Attachments 5
(table 3.1), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, relating to preparation of
the 1993 operating budget. The meeting discussed the 110 EFTSU additional
DEET-funded All commencing load and the 552 EFTSU new places that had been
foreshadowed in the event of a change in government in Victoria on 3
October. It was resolved that Deans should, by Monday, 14 September, submit
bids for this additional load, notwithstanding the bids already made for the
110 EFTSU included in table 3.1. These bids, it was agreed, should keep the
110 and 552 cohorts separate in view of the earlier agreement that the new
DEET-funded load should be directed primarily to the higher degree area and
in the light of the Coalition's intention that the new State-funded load be
aimed at school leavers.
Next Meeting
It was agreed that the next scheduled meeting of the Committee on
Tuesday, 15 September, should commence at the delayed time of 3.00 pm.
