From: Lynne Fairservice, Budget and Statistical Services

Subject: Campus Planning for the Committee of Deans


Attached is the analysis requested by the Committee of Deans on current Monash enrolments projected onto population projections for Local Government Areas.

If the Deans have any questions regarding this analysis or would like any further analysis undertaken please contact me.

Population Projections for Campus Planning Project

Prepared by Budget and Statistical Services, June 1996

Introduction

The Victorian Department of Planning and Development (DPD) publish population projections for the new local government areas (LGAs) for the years 1996, 2001, 2006, 20111. These projections are presented, along with some Monash data on current enrolments, to assist the University in its future planning exercise.

Three sets of analysis are presented:

1. 15-24 year olds in LGAs: Identification of the LGAs with the greatest population increase in 15-24 year olds (for both 15-19 and 20-24 age groups) projected for the 15 years between 1996 and 2011.

2. Current students in LGAs: Identification of the LGAs in which the highest number of 15-24 year olds (for both 15-19 and 20-24 age groups) and the highest ratio of 1996 Monash student enrolments to the LGA 1996 population of 15-24 year olds who are currently enrolled at Monash.

3. Projected students in LGAs: A projection of the number of 15-24 year olds (for both 15-19 and 20-24 age groups) from each LGA who may be enrolled at Monash in the years 2001, 2006, 2011.

The raw data is available for other age groups and could be provided if required.

Methodology

Two sets of data are presented in each case: one for metropolitan LGAs and one for regional Victorian LGAs.

1. 15-24 year olds in LGAs

A subset of the DPD data was extracted for the 15-24 year olds and sorted by:

greatest population increase in 15-19 year olds for the 15 years between 1996 and 2011.

2. Current students in LGAs and Projected students in LGAs

The 1996 DEETYA Enrolments File was the source of the current student data. Students were selected for inclusion if they were local students (Australian citizens, Permanent resident status or New Zealand citizens) and if their permanent home residence was in Victoria. Any student enrolled in a minor course (where the student is enrolled in more than one course - major and minor courses - , they are only counted once - for the major course) was also excluded. These filters on the enrolment file resulted in 32,622 of the 41,893 currently enrolled students being included.

The postcode of the students permanent home residence was mapped to a LGA by means of a postcode to LGA concordance provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Unfortunately not all post codes are fully contained within a LGA so the ABS provides the percentage of the population of the postcode which is included in each LGA covering the postcode. The number of students in each postcode was calculated and then each student was randomly assigned to a LGA covered by that postcode in the ratios provided by the ABS. Specific students had to be assigned to a LGA as it was necessary to know their age to match against the DPD age group projections.

The postcodes of 75 students did not have a LGA associated with them (eg. in the case where students are using a post office box with a postcode specifically associated with post office boxes). These students were excluded, giving a total of 32,547 students being included.

3. Projected students in LGAs

The ratio of the number of 15-24 year olds (for both 15-19 and 20-24 age groups) enrolled at Monash in 1996 to the number of 15-24 year olds in each LGA was used to calculate the projected Monash enrolments in 2001, 2006 and 2011.

Results

1. 15-24 year olds in LGAs

Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 show the estimated population change by age groups for metropolitan and regional Victorian LGAs respectively. They are ranked by the greatest change in the 15-19 age group between 1996 and 2011.

2. Current students in LGAs and Projected students in LGAs

Tables 2.1 to 2.12 show the Monash student enrolments by age group (15-19, 20-24 and 15-24) for both metropolitan and regional Victorian LGAs. They are ranked by student population and by Monash student ratio (based on the ratio of 1996 Monash student enrolments to the LGA 1996 population).

3. Projected students in LGAs

Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 show the estimated resident population by age groups (15-19 and 20-24) for metropolitan and regional Victorian LGAs, with the current (1996) Monash student population, the Monash student ratio (based on the ratio of 1996 Monash student enrolments to the LGA 1996 population), and the projected Monash Population for years 2011, 2006 and 2011.

Limitations

Because of the statistical allocation of students to LGAs it is not possible to reverse this analysis. That is it is not possible to deduce that specific students actually belong to a specific LGA as they have been randomly assigned to it, but may not actually reside within that LGA.

The ratio of 15-24 year olds enrolled at Monash to the 15-24 year olds in the LGA may not stay constant over the next 15 years. In fact, one would hope that some of the University's marketing initiatives would increase this ratio significantly.

MONASH UNIVERSITY

MEMORANDUM TO: Ms Janice Newham

Secretary

Committee of Deans

FROM: Equal Opportunity Committee

DATE: 23 April, 1966

SUBJECT: Draft Policy on Work, Study & Family

Responsibilities

Meeting 1/96 of the Equal Opportunity Committee held on Wednesday, 27 March, 1996 considered a draft policy on work, study and family responsibilities and agreed to refer it to the Committee of Deans for comment. See minute attached.

The background to the draft policy is as follows. In 1995, the Director of Student Services established a task force to advise on issues arising from a review of child care facilities at Monash previously conducted. One of the recommendations of the review was that:

The University develop a missions statement regarding the provision of child care services on its campuses. The statement is to be based on the principle that the University has a responsibility to facilitate the delivery of quality, cost-effective and flexible child care services on all its campuses.

In the discussion of this recommendation in the task force, it was agreed that it was desirable to include the issue of the provision of on-campus child care for staff and students in the context of a policy covering the broader issues facing staff and students who had to combine study or work with family responsibilities (which might include, for example, the care of elderly parents as well as children). It was noted that this would be consistent with recent developments in equal opportunity legislation, in response to the International Convention of Workers with Family Responsibilities. The attached draft policy was discussed in the task force, circulated widely for comment and then referred to the Equal Opportunity Committee.

I note that the date given in the minute for receiving comments is no longer appropriate, so I will recommend that the Committee defer further discussion until the draft policy has been considered by the Committee of Deans.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COMMITTEE

Extract from the unconfirmed minutes of Meeting 1/96 of the Equal Opportunity Committee was held at 3.00 pm on Wednesday, 27 March, 1996 in the Sir George Lush Room, Clayton Campus.

5. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES

5.2 Draft Policy on Work, Study & Family Responsibilities

The Executive Officer introduced the Draft Policy on Work,Study and Family Responsibilities, Paper EOC 2/96. A general discussion followed on university's support to the Monash linked service providers. The question of the provision of places for children with special needs was raised by Professor Crossley. The Executive Officer commented that the centres had an obligation to provide for the enrolment of children with special needs.

The Committee made a number of minor editorial changes to the draft Policy on Work, Study & Family Responsibilities.

Following a question from Ms Clerehan, the Executive Officer informed the Committee that the process for monitoring the operation of the policy is already in place - through the Affirmative Action Report and by the annual reporting process of the Child Care Advisory Committee to this Committee. It was agreed that the Executive Officer of the Affirmative Action Co-ordinating Committee could be invited to speak to his or her annual report.

The Committee agreed to forward the draft policy, as amended, to the newly constituted Child Care Advisory Committee for comment and the development of policies and practices for dot points 1 & 2. A copy will also be sent to the Committee of Deans for comment. The deadline for comments on the draft policy will be May 28, 1996. It is expected that the June meeting of this Committee will approve the final version of the policy with the view to recommending it to Council for adoption.

The Convenor recommended that once the final version of the policy is adopted it should be included in the General Information for Students booklet and circulated to new staff members in the Induction Kit.

MONASH UNIVERSITY

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COMMITTEE

DRAFT POLICY ON WORK, STUDY AND

FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES

INTRODUCTION

This policy affirms the existing positive practices within Monash and recognises that provision for students and staff with family responsibilities is a fundamental pre-requisite for achieving equality of educational and employment opportunity.

The University recognises that family responsibilities are industrial and educational matters which are not confined to social or private realms of life but are the concern of the university community as a whole.

Victorian legislation makes it unlawful to discriminate in education or employment, directly or indirectly, against a person on the grounds that a person is a parent or carer or childless. The Sex Discrimination Act (1992) amendments prohibit dismissal on the grounds of family responsibilities.

POLICY

Monash University is committed to providing policies and services which enable staff and students successfully to combine employment and educational pursuits with family responsibilities.

The University will meet this obligation by providing:

1 Advisory services specific to child and family needs including -

* a university-wide information and advisory service;

* a family counselling service;

* a consultancy within the University with regard to the development of policies;

* a professional consultancy to existing child care providers.

2 Support to Monash-linked child care services with the aim of achieving in co-operation with the centres' managements:

* high quality, affordable, accessible services, which are also financially viable;

* similar level of University support for comparable services across all campuses of the University;

* equivalent access to a range of services on all campuses consistent with local needs and conditions;

* common broad policies, with local control of operating conditions;

* continued co-operation between centres;

* services responsive to staff and student needs and the requirements of the University;

* effective and efficient management of services which meet the Quality Improvement and Accreditation System;

* representation of the parents, staff and the university in the management of the centres.

3 Policies specific to students that-

* eliminate discrimination on the ground of family responsibilities;

* allow for flexible and considerate application of University regulations affecting courses, assessment and academic progress, in order to facilitate the successful combination of study and family responsibilities.

4 Policies specific to staff that -

* eliminate discrimination on the ground of family responsibilities;

* provide for appropriate leave entitlements and other forms of flexibility in working conditions in order to facilitate the successful combination of work and family responsibilities.

5 Ongoing communication with government to encourage the development of policies and services appropriate to the University community.

FINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION

REPORT TO COMMITTEE OF DEANS

June 1996

BACKGROUND

Objective

To provide timely and relevant analysis, interpretation and advice on financial matters, to achieve optimal utilisation of the University's resources; protect its solvency; and fulfil its financial and statistical statutory obligations

Organisation

Budget & Statistical Services Branch

The Budget and Statistical Services Branch is responsible for providing advice in relation to the planning of the University's Operating, Non-Operating budgets, the monitoring of performance relative to budget allocations, the provision of advice to faculties and other budgetary units relating to budget planning and budget monitoring and the provision of appropriate statistical information for internal planning and external reporting.

Major activities of the branch include:

The collection and analysis of information necessary for the formulation of the University's annual budget and the external reporting requirements of the Department of Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs.

The development of budget planning and resource allocation models and procedures to promote the cost effective use of available resources. Particular activities in this regard include the development of budget allocation principles linking faculty student load, course programs and research activities to staffing, space and other resource requirements within available funds consistent with the University's strategic objectives.

The preparation of regular management reports showing performance relative to budget.

The preparation of regular statistical reports for use in internal decision making and assistance with the development of the University's educational profile.

Accounting Services Branch

Accounting Services Branch provides a wide range of traditional accounting services and sound management reports summarising daily activities into such format, as will assist the business management of Deans and Department Heads.

The Branch is responsible for the Financial Accounts for the Monash University "Group", recognising Accounting standards, Commonwealth (DEET) and State Government rules, Australian Tax Office (and all other Government) regulations, the requirements of the Victorian Auditor General, and other external auditors.

The responsibilities of the Branch include provision of

facilities for Accounts Payable, Grants and Donations, Insurance, Payroll, Student Fees and Income, Debtors Control, Taxation and Government Imposts, Accounting Systems (IT), Financial Accounting (Management Information and Statutory Reporting), Cooperative Research Centres, Cashiers, Treasury (Funds Management), and Fixed Assets

at Clayton, Caulfield, Pharmacy College, Peninsula, Berwick and Gippsland campuses, also through the nine controlled entities.

Director's office includes a personal assistant and two business graduates that are placed in different sections of the Division together with a six month period in the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Size

The Division employs 100 staff and has an annual budget of $5.1 million.

Annual Report 1995

Attached is the Division's 1995 Annual Report.

CURRENT ISSUES

University Finances

The dominant issue is the anticipated reduction of Commonwealth income, together with the need to self fund any pay increases.

Budget and Statistical Services are providing information for the University Executive, the Central Budgets Committee and Finance Committee. This includes preparation of staff profile information across the University to assist Deans and heads of other budgetary groups with workforce planning.

The Division itself is also reviewing potential savings including the outsourcing of some of its functions.

Gippsland

The Finance Section of Gippsland has been integrated into the Division with effect from 1 May 1996. This is consistent with the integration of the Payroll and Human Resource information. Progress is being made on the incorporation of financial data from the Gippsland finance system into the periodic management reports provided to faculties and administrative divisions so as to give a full picture of university budget performance across all campuses. It is anticipated that this information will be available from month end May 1996.

Personal Services

The Income Tax Assessment Act (ITAA) requires that an employer deduct tax instalments from salary and wages which are paid to an employee. Employees are natural persons who provide labour to an employer and who are said to be in a "master/servant relationship" with the employer.

Where persons (who also may be Monash staff) have made arrangements to provide personal services on a consultancy basis, for a fee to the University, Monash University has a very real exposure to Pay As You Earn Tax, Payroll Tax, Superannuation Contribution and WorkCover, plus any additional penalty fines which may be imposed should there be any such shortfalls.

In recognition of this exposure and with the authority of Council and Finance Committee, the Vice-Chancellor will require Deans to review any arrangement presently existing within their area of control and ensure that from the 1st July this year, wherever consultancy arrangements are entered into between Monash University and private individuals (including staff members) for the provision of personal services for reward, payments will only be made via payroll.

This procedure will apply regardless of whether payments are to be made from internal or external funds sources and will include arrangements where the personal service is provided via a Family Trust, alternate family member or private company - where the service provider is primarily the contracting party.

31 March Census

31 March census data on student enrolment is being prepared for submission to DEETYA. Following the DEETYA submission, a detailed analysis of performance against DEETYA and university planning targets will be prepared and made available to faculties.

Other Statistical Information

Following the initial request of Deans for information to assist in future campus planning, raw data relating to population projections for Victoria has been obtained and is in the process of being examined to determine the appropriate means of presenting this information.

Detailed reports have been prepared for the Education Committee on the number of subjects on offer at Monash and related enrolments. This information will be updated when 1996 census data is available.

FINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION

ANNUAL REPORT 1995

Introduction

The primary objectives of the Division are to provide timely and appropriate financial and statistical information for planning, decision making and external reporting.

Over the past year the Division has continued to provide its routine services. At the same time it is developing its staff to strengthen a customer focus, improve its performance and assist in helping all budgetary units manage their resources effectively.

This report highlights noteworthy activities in 1995.

General

Regular financial reports and presentations by the Chief Executives of the University's Controlled Entities

Financial reports are now presented during the year and each company has made a presentation to the Finance Committee. In addition meetings have been convened with the senior finance managers of each company to facilitate reporting, allow companies to enjoy corporate benefits negotiated by the University, streamline year end consolidated financial statements and other common issues.

Introduction of Business Graduate Development Program

Two graduates have been recruited as the result of a rigorous selection process to participate in this new two year program. Commencing in early February 1996, the program comprises a schedule of placements designed to give the participants broad exposure to the University's operations (including six months in the Faculty of Business and Economics) with particular emphasis on financial management. It is anticipated that the program will be of mutual benefit to the participants and to the University.

Superannuation Schemes

A review was undertaken to examine the administrative and financial practices of the "A" Scheme (including Disability Pension Fund and Disability Project Fund), Superannuation "B" Scheme and Superannuation "M" Scheme. Changes implemented comply with new federal legislation and will improve financial and administrative arrangements.

Taxation Review

An external taxation review was commissioned to consider all aspects of taxation exposure for the University and its controlled entities ie FBT, Payroll Tax, PAYE, Superannuation Benefits, Sales Tax, Income Tax, Payments to Third Parties, Prescribed Payment System. This has necessitated changes and strengthening of procedures to ensure no penalties are incurred.

Victorian Universities Senior Finance Officers Group

This group (Chaired by myself with Mr Carey as Secretary) convened three times during 1995 and its work was also supplemented by working parties concentrating on specific accounting issues. The major benefits produced have been common approaches to new accounting standards that were submitted to and agreed by the Victorian Auditor General. The network developed has also assisted in a submission to DEET re Income in Advance and the commencement of benchmarking accounting operations.

Financial Statements

It was acknowledged by the Auditor General that the finalisation of the 1994 Financial Statements "represented a significant improvement on previous years".

Accounting Services Activities

Staff

During the year, the branch has actively engaged upon a program of:-

- Making Faculty and Departmental staff more aware of the services and support provided

- Training staff in interpersonal skills, self awareness and communication procedures,

- Reviewing job positions and reward relationships in order to develop internal multi skilling

Projects

A number of projects have been implemented or are presently in progress within the University and each has the aim of improving service and/or creating productivity gains or improving corporate governance.

- Delegated authority limits - to $30k,

- Petty Cash Limit - to $200.00 per transaction,

- Reassertion of the 30 day payment policy for payments to creditors,

- Monash/Westpac corporate credit card, for procurement of goods and services up to a standard $2,000.00 transaction limit, with certain posts identified for increased transaction limits, eg. purchase of cars.

- Monash/AMEX corporate travel and allied services card, for purchase of direct travel bookings through Qantas and to include other services such as hotel/accommodation, meals, entertainment, taxi/hire car, foreign currency and cash advances. This is complemented by an advanced Management Information System which will provide detailed reporting on the total travel spend.

This facility should enable the University to reduce cash advances for Per Diems (currently $737k pa).

- Purchasing Effectiveness Study

An initial review provided by an internationally recognised procurement specialist company, Purchasing & Materials Management Specialists (PMMS Asia Pacific Pty Ltd) has identified a wide range of efficiency targets within the University for purchasing improvements and this project is being pursued for a start date early in 1996.

- The reorganisation of Monash University Bank Accounts - will provide more efficient banking operations and measurable savings in FID and reduced bank overdraft interest costs.

- Consolidation of campus payrolls for Gippsland Campus and Victorian College of Pharmacy onto the Clayton payroll will provide clerical and system synergies, while payment of total salaries and wages into the Monash bank account at WESTPAC, by dedicated TELECOM line and subsequently via EFT to individual employee bank and credit union accounts has also created clerical savings for the payroll function.

Note: - payments to creditors are increasingly being made via EFT rather than cheque,

- reimbursement of officers expense claims will shortly be made via payroll entry or through AMEX.

- Electronic scan and retention of signatures of authorising officers onto the creditors system, and

- A stand alone disaster recovery system for critical systems used by Accounting Services.

Treasury Management

Introduction of disciplined monitoring and reporting to Finance Committee (and Foundation) of Funds Managers' performance

Introduction of competitive submissions for borrowing and investment facilities

Budgeting and Statistics Activities

Preparation and on-going development of detailed monthly performance reports that assist budget group managers to monitor performance. These reports provide details of expenditure against budget for each budgetary unit across all fund sources.

In addition, a software package developed internally was used to assist budget group managers to provide projections of income and expenditure to year end at both the end of June and the end of September.

On-going development of budget allocation principles covering faculty student load, including a review of funding arrangements with respect to Distance Education and Open Learning.

As part of the 1996 Budget process, the development of income estimates and expenditure allocations in relation to the University's Operating and Non-Operating Budget

- Development of estimates of income from other funding sources including research and external earnings in order to provide a measure of budget activities across all funding sources

Design and development of software relating to student statistics that:

- compared load files between submissions

- assisted in data preparation for the higher education data collection

- redesigned information reports to provide Key Indicators.

MONASH UNIVERSITY

REPORT ON CASMAC TO COMMITTEE OF DEANS

MEETING - 4 JUNE 1996.

An update on the status of the UniPower CASMAC initiative is as follows:

FINANCE

The acceptance testing of the first (and major) stage of the Finance software has all but finished, on time and in readiness for the acceptance testing of the second (remaining) stage of the software. A handful of errors have been identified for correction by the software supplier, CHA, and a hundred or so aspects of the operability/user-friendliness of the software have been forwarded to CHA.

A third (and final) delivery of the software is due in mid-August, wherein all functionality, operability and system performance errors are to have been corrected.

The implementation timetable at Monash remains unchanged, with all campuses planned to be using the software by March 1997.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

There have been no changes to the plans previously reported for the Human Resources, Research & Consultancy and Physical Resources applications.

REPORT TO THE AVCC

Attached is a report prepared by the UniPower consortium of universities which addresses a number of issues raised by the AVCC regarding the various CASMAC initiatives. The report shows the major advances that have been made with the UniPower project.

Report by UniPower to CASMAC Working Party

Executive Summary

The UniPower approach to acquisition of CASMAC-compliant software for its member universities has focused on the outsourced development and delivery of core administrative and management systems as an integrated suite based on the UniPower Requirements Specification (URS). Universities supported the national approach to management and administrative computing software because they anticipated receiving software which meets current internal management and external reporting requirements, while sharing the cost and the risks associated with such a major initiative.

Despite the disparity in size, mission, organisational structure, and geographic dispersion of its member universities, and the loose affiliation of its members of expert teams, UniPower has prepared a set of Requirement Specifications for all applications which reflect the core business practices of members, as evolved from the CASMAC specification and subsequent consultations with specialists in all member institutions.

UniPower’s Application Product Teams, the expert reference groups established to elaborate the high-level CASMAC document (completed in August 1992), have found that these general specifications required often significant enhancements to the functionality originally specified in the contract. As a result, UniPower has contracted CHA to deliver this additional functionality and the costs of software development services commissioned from CHA has grown from $7.5 million to $10.35 million.

As at March 1996, development costs of the UniPower project have totalled $11.873 million. The DEET subsidy, in two parts, totals $3.72 million. Payments made so far include milestone payments for software deliverables - $7.074 million, Cognos licences - $1.544 million, and management and related costs of $3.255 million. Further funding of $3.28 million for remaining software development costs and $4.083 for management, training materials and product consultants have been provided in the project budget through to end 1998.

The duration of the development project has extended - in part because of the commissioned increase in scope, and also because the supplier, CHA, underestimated the effort involved in delivering software to meet the documented UniPower requirements.

Software has been accepted for the Research & Consultancyapplication. Finance, Human Resources, and Physical Resources systems have been subjected to the first pass of testing. Software for these applications is being redelivered for the final round of acceptance testing, to be completed during 1996. Further specification of the Student Records application has been deferred while UniPower’s supplier concentrates its effort on the three applications in the acceptance testing phase.

In addition to software acquisition the project has yielded other benefits, both tangible and qualitative. Part of the delivery of application software to members is training material for the key business processes of each application which may be enhanced locally. Universities have access to a wide range of reference material and standards developed with the project. Favourable agreements for Cognos licences and bulk purchase of services have also been realised. Participating university personnel have referenced the range of practices of member universities, and will be able to benchmark their own universities’ practices accordingly. They have gained project management expertise, experience in information systems specification, evaluation and acceptance testing, and management of outsourcing contracts - all invaluable in all aspects of university administration.

The UniPower Development Project

The principal objective of the UniPower development project is to deliver an integrated and modern suite of applications software to meet the core needs for administration and management for its 19 member universities. The applications are being developed mainly concurrently, for a range of designated operating environments (varied hardware and operating system combinations), so that there is an intensive program of delivery and acceptance of software.

Using consultative processes of acquiring requirements from, and frequent revision and affirmation by university business experts, UniPower has developed a full statement of UniPower requirements using the high level CASMAC specification as its framework. The supplier, CHA Computer Solutions, has and continues to design and develop software from the specifications described in the UniPower Requirement Specifications in the Cognos PowerHouse 4GL and relational database management system environment.

The project addresses the major functional areas of university administration - Student Records, Research and Consultancy, Human Resources, Finance, and Physical Resources. The UniPower strategy mandates that each of its 19 universities can ‘pick and mix’ the applications, with no particular constraints of combination or sequence of implementation, nor a particular organisational model in which they are to be implemented. The application suite has a common data dictionary for data consistency, and well defined complementarity of functionality between applications. Common utilities for application access and management are used across the application suite.

Executive Reporting, while identified as an application system by CASMAC, had no formal specification within CASMAC. Instead CASMAC provided guidelines to the management and exception reporting which would be required for each application, and some examples of interrogation and trend analysis of data which would be held within the corporate repository. Management and exception reporting has been addressed by each application’s software. The tools provided by Cognos will provide the means of interrogating and analysing the data holdings. The Executive Reporting team is defining an approach to development of a data warehouse which will draw from the implemented UniPower databases and which can be utilised by each university in conjunction with its local applications from which it will also draw relevant data.

Each application has an Application Product Team drawn primarily from university business experts, and some technical analysts. The collaboration of these members in producing the UniPower Requirements Specification is invaluable to the project. Despite the single specification there is capacity for variation. Universities have the potential to modify the applications to graft their idiosyncratic or local needs to the comprehensive functionality of the core applications.

Support teams assure common definitions, identify common tables to optimise integration of the applications and minimise redundancy of data holdings, assure the interfaces between the functional applications and ensure that no processes which span the boundaries were neglected, and to provide advice, guidance and support in the preparation of acceptance test material so that member universities can be confident of the robustness of the accepted software. With UniPower personnel they define standards and recommend processes to support the operation of UniPower with respect to its members. They have prepared a comprehensive set of procedures to assess the quality of the delivered products at each milestone, have produced documentation and templates to assist universities in their implementation of the application, and have determined the training methodology.

Project Complexity

The overall project is one of the major management information systems projects today. Its stakeholders have the expectation that the software which is delivered will

• be technologically modern being based on a fully relational database management system with excellent security features and 4GL language;

• have a consistent user-friendly interface;

• have maximum user control of operations;

• have applications which are fully integrated;

• be highly flexible as well as locally customisable; and

• as core systems, be supported by the supplier.

Although some of these criteria can be in contention, the university members of the expert teams and the supplier negotiate their way to achieving an optimal mix on behalf of UniPower’s member universities.

The specifications give describe the broad scope of the project. To date there are approximately 8,000 data elements and, excluding the Student Records application, approximately 4,800 number of programs, and 1,700 reports. These figures can only be indicative of the size of the project, as the ‘architecture’ of the software would need to be examined to gauge the design decisions which influence the numbers of these components. It may be useful to note that the supplier has had, on average, 25 design and development personnel committed to the project during the past two years.

This major project is compounded in complexity by a number of significant attributes:

• many of the university business process involve complex transactions with many decision points, and sometimes critical system performance requirements;

• the major part of project documentation, modus operandi, and the detailed project plan had to be developed after the execution of the contract in accordance with fixed milestones and dates;

• the collaborative nature of the project itself wherein there are multiple decision makers with equal authority (addressed during the term of the project);

• university business experts with multiple responsibilities (and allegiances) additional to this project; and

• geographic dispersion of team members who had not previously worked together, and sometimes not in the selected technical environment. This complicates the distribution of materials, and scheduling and convening of meetings. Extensive use is made of electronic communications.

Achievements to date

The expectations of the UniPower members on joining the UniPower group was for both quantifiable and qualitative benefits. The range of anticipated benefits is quite diverse. The quantitative benefits are expected to include:
• cost savings in the acquisition of software,
• cost avoidance as legacy systems need refurbishment or replacement,
• access to licences at favourable rates,
• establishment of a major data dictionary, and
• financial support in acquiring the software.

The qualitative benefits can be categorised into seven main areas:
• focus on sound core systems,
• sharing of costs and risks by joining the consortium,
• synergy from cooperation with peers,
• development opportunities for staff involved in the acquisition project and later in the local implementation,
• organisational focus on systems development,
• opportunity for best practice, and
• for some universities, the introduction of new technologies.

The project has been actively underway for approximately 30 months. The major achievements are:

(i) the UniPower Requirements Specification has been fully prepared for the Finance, Research & Consultancy, Human Resources, and Physical Resources applications, and is well advanced for the Student Records application (for which a detailed Initial Specification is complete, and many of the elements of the Logical Design);

(ii) the Research & Consultancy software has been accepted, with implementation at the lead site well advanced; a national forum to demonstrate the features to member universities is planned for July 1996;

(iii) the final phase of acceptance testing is near or underway for the Finance, Physical Resources and Human Resources applications;

(iv) a consolidated glossary of terms used by the nineteen universities in their internal processes and for external reporting has been prepared;

(v) a continued high level of commitment to and participation in the consultative groups (APTs and Support Teams) by university business and technical experts (although the actual membership changes, approximately 70 university personnel are identified as members of the groups, which have a level of activity consistent with the phase of the project);

(vi) widespread sharing of knowledge of business practices in member universities, enabling reappraisal of individual internal practices, and justification for change;

(vii) comprehensive acceptance test packs which model the specified business processes have been defined by the Application Product Teams;

(viii) preliminary work is underway for executive reporting, as well as many flexible management reports incorporated in the applications software;

(ix) favourable commercial terms for acquisition of the 4GL development environment and utilities, as well as training and consultancy services;

(x) exposure and experience of working with specifications with a supplier in a major outsourcing contract;

(xi) a rich set of procedures and practices relating to business systems development, acceptance, implementation and enhancement which are published electronically and may be used by any member for their own purposes;

(xii) despite growth in scope and cost of the applications software, a suite of applications which cost, per university, far less that comparable in-house development;

(xiii) production of training materials which address the key business processes of the lead site with respect to its application, and which will be amplified by the specialist business (product) and training consultants within UniPower;

(xiv) staff development experience in the project management of major software development projects (which differs from traditional project management in the ‘partial finish-to-start’ nature of activities); and

(xv) for those universities with APT members, the opportunity to benchmark university practices through the consultative process of the development of the UniPower Requirements Specifications.

CHA Development Project Milestones and Cost, by Application

The following table identifies the start and end dates, and costs for each application, as shown in the original contract. This is followed by the actual start date and costs of the delivered applications, and the actual (Research & Consultancy) or planned end dates for the applications.

Increases in cost reflect growth in the scope of functionality of the UniPower applications from that specified by CASMAC and, in each case, was the subject of negotiation. The extended duration of the period to acceptance can be explained in part by the increase in scope. Activity on the Student Records application has been suspended while the supplier focuses on the delivery of the remaining applications.

Other Financial Contributions

In selecting the Cognos PowerHouse development environment UniPower entered an agreement with Cognos in which a comprehensive range and, for all but one product, unlimited number of licences of software development and end user tools are supplied for a gross price of $3.0 million (for up to 24 members). To accommodate universities who already held licences in this environment trade-in offsets were allowed to a value of approximately $1.46 million. The support agreement, initially at 15% of $3.0 million, is adjusted by CPI on an annual basis.

Similarly the Cognos training and consultancy services fees have been negotiated at very favourable commercial rates, adjusted by CPI. In both instances current rates available to the UniPower members ($246 and $800 per person per day) are now well below commercial rates ($450 and $1200). Members book these services direct with Cognos, and the costs are recovered on a utilisation basis.

UniPower members contribute annually based on a three-year projected budget to the management costs of UniPower. These include the operating costs for the UniPower Project Office (secretariat costs including salaries, equipment, communications and accommodation, contractor fees, external specialist consultants), preparation of application training materials, travel expenses for the Management Board and its committees, and CHA project staff.

The significant contribution which is not directly funded is that from universities who further support the project by releasing expert staff (business and technical) to fulfil invaluable roles as members of the Application Product and Support Teams or specific skilled expertise as required and fund their time and travel expenses, as Directors of UniPower, and in some cases providing lead site facilities (accommodation, secretarial, equipment and essential support personnel).

Project Review

The development project is clearly more protracted than was anticipated at the time of execution of the original contract. Similarly, overall there has been an increase of approximately 38% in the cost of the software acquisition, mainly arising from the Student Records application.

Nevertheless, the objective of cost-effective acquisition of software is realised when it is seen that, on average, each university will have access to the complete suite of applications for approximately $550,000. Additionally they have had access to the PowerHouse development and end user reporting tools since the commencement of the project.

There has been and continues to be a high level of participation in the project. The membership of Application Product and Support Teams is maintained at about 70 university personnel, in aggregate. These people have close contact with the project and, given the cost of their involvement to member universities, this resoluteness reflects their confidence in the outcome of the development process.

Through the accumulated experience of the project there has been a development in the acumen, professionally and commercially, of UniPower and its member universities of the implications of an outsourced information systems project. The importance of specificity in stating requirements - as a check on the expectations of the Application Product Teams and as criteria to measure the performance of the supplier - has emerged as a determining factor in managing performance and realising outcomes. The supplementation of the personnel of the UniPower Project Office has been important in monitoring the supplier, and managing the UniPower and member university activity.

At a recent appraisal of the project to date it was identified that the contractor mis-scoped the project in assessing the resources and resource management to meet the delivery schedule. Particularly the supplier’s assessment of its knowledge of the scope of work, leading it to tender a fixed price contract, was over-optimistic. This may be because the supplier initially believed the UK MAC project in which it participated was substantially similar to the Australian CASMAC project. This is not the case.

The two parties’ understanding of the nature of the project differed. The supplier expected to modify or apply ‘Australianisation’ to its existing software, however UniPower’s expectation was that, while the supplier could draw from its existing software, the focus of the project should be on meeting UniPower’s Requirements Specification. Additionally, some of the expertise which the supplier expected to import from its previous UK project did not arrive, and local personnel had to learn the supplier’s existing software as well as meet local obligations.

The project management and resourcing of the supplier has recently substantially improved, albeit under the duress of potential default in performance. A commercial pragmatism has entered the relationship, wherein the supplier recognises the need to deliver according to the specifications. Similarly, UniPower is communicating more successfully to its members that the outcome of the development project will be ‘core’ software, functionally rich and flexible, but not infinitely so!

UniPower has employed a number of approaches to test the quality of its processes and products. It has four teams attending to various aspects of standards and quality - Integration & Testing, Quality Assurance & Standards, Implementation, Training & Documentation, and Technical Advisory Committee - which have specified a comprehensive set of procedures to be followed at appropriate phases of the project, in communications to members, and internally. These are drawn from the professional expertise of the team members as applied to relevant Australian Standards and other reference material.

Independent Quality Assessment

In early 1995 UniPower retained KPMG to examine the quality procedures of CHA. KPMG considered that the type of work undertaken for UniPower should be “classified as a custom developed application using a 4GL environment and an RDBMS.” KPMG’s assessment is that the software developed by CHA is technically sound, and that “the level of technical development standards (both [in] existence and application), the degree of control over the development process, and the predictability of the resulting software, are better than the norm as observed by KPMG for a development of this nature.”

In February UniPower engaged a consultant to appraise the Student Records project, and give advice on some of the options which are available to UniPower to ensure that Student Records software will be delivered to its members. This is an ongoing activity.

Recently UniPower has approached Coopers & Lybrand to prepare a brief to perform ‘product audits’ to ensure that the software products are robust, and do comply with usual good practice in financial management. This will achieve two outcomes. First, the report will provide comfort to university management as it seeks to evaluate the application software for its own implementation, so that implementation should be easier and cheaper. Second, assurances are currently being sought from state Auditors-General that a favourable opinion obtained from Coopers & Lybrand will expedite the audit of the ‘core’ part of the implemented systems, achieving ongoing cost savings.

Throughout the project UniPower has retained expert legal advice from Minter Ellison.

Not to be disregarded is the expertise and counsel drawn from the UniPower Directors who collectively provide powerful practising advice from their university context.

Conclusion

The UniPower development project is a highly visible, ambitious and valuable project. It has already delivered the first of the applications commissioned, and has a high probability of accepting a further three applications on behalf of its members during 1996. The additional benefits to member universities, some not anticipated, and their personnel have been considerable.

In keeping with its mission to

“broker the evaluation, acquisition and implementation of management systems and related activities for its members through the collaboration and cooperation of the members and the application of business principles, so enabling effective processes in requirements definition, design, maintenance and support”

UniPower is establishing the organisational framework to provide the ongoing services which will be required by its member universities to augment their implementation and operational needs.

University Academic Structure:

Approval Procedure for Centres, Departments and Schools

In updating the official record of the University's structure this year, conflicting advice was received about the correct titles of centres and departments and their reporting lines. Some new centres which represented significant initiatives on behalf of departments had never been submitted (either for approval or information) through the usual channels.

This paper aims to clarify the current policy and practice in relation to approval of changes to the current academic structure of the University.

1. Current policy and practice

Proposals for new centres and for changes to their structure, reporting lines and titles are submitted to the Academic Board for approval. Following this, Council has been asked either to approve or note such changes, depending on the nature of the centre and the extent of the change. Changes to names and structure of departments and schools have been similarly handled.

In addition to individual proposals emanating from faculty boards to the Academic Board and Council, a document detailing the University's academic structure has been updated annually by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Pargetter's Office and submitted to the Academic Board and Council.

In relation to research centres, Section 4.2 of the University's Research Policy states:

"A proposal to establish a new research centre will need the support of the relevant department/s, and the approval of the relevant Faculty Board/s. The proposal will then be considered by the Academic Board...."

2. Rationale for current policy and practice

The current approval process achieves the following:

3. Recommendation

That the Academic Board and Council confirm the existing policy and practice for the approval of new centres, departments and schools, and amendments to current arrangements as follows:

_____________________________________________________________________

Membership of Council

Council welcomed a new member, Mr Frank Peck, appointed by the Minister, and new members appointed by the Governor in Council, The Hon Andrew Brideson MLC and
Mr Hong Lim MP. Council approved the recommendation of the Nominations Committee that no action would be taken pro tem to fill vacancies on Council caused by the resignation
of Ms J Chandler and the expiry of the term of office of Dr C Coogan.

Queen's Birthday Honours

Council congratulated the recipients of Queen's Birthday honours: Monash alumni
Mr Graeme Ford, awarded the public service medal for the implementation and development of the Law Enforcement Assistance Program to Victoria Police; Squadron Leader Geoffrey Robinson, awarded the Nursing Service Cross; and honorary graduate, John Prescott, LLD, was awarded the Companion of the Order of Australia.

Review of University Governance and Council Retreat

Council authorised that discussion papers and proposals be prepared, in consultation with
the Vice-Chancellor designate, to be considered at a day Retreat for Council members to be held on Thursday 5 December at the Professional Development Centre to review University governance and the role and structure of Council.

Funding for Higher Education

Council supported the motion put forward by Academic Board expressing concerns on reported proposals from members of the Government to make significant reductions in the level of funding provided for universities. The Vice Chancellor noted that the Prime Minister continued to give assurance that he would honour the pre-election promise not to reduce operating grants to universities, but that the University should note the concerns raised and put in place plans to implement savings in anticipation of reductions in funding to the Higher Education sector from the August 21 Budget.

Group of Eight (GO8) Universities

The Vice Chancellor advised Council of the University's place in the Group of 8, noting that the Group could discuss special issues, apart from generic concerns, in a more constructive forum than in the larger group of 36 universities.

The Use of the Syme name in the Faculty of Business and Economics

Council strongly debated proposals concerning the use of the Syme name within the Faculty of Business and Economics and agreed that the Faculty's cross campus departments were not to bear the Syme name, while schools on the Caulfield and Peninsula campuses should bear the Syme name. These arrangements will not be implemented until the Faculty provides Council with a report on the members and functions of campus specific schools. The use of the Syme name may be reviewed two years from implementation date.

MEMO


TO: Janice Newham

Manager, University Secretariat

DATE: 6 May, 1997

RE: 1. Externally Funded Chair in Injury Prevention

2. Externally Funded Chair in Road Safety

Attached is a document for re-consideration by the Academic Board and submission to University Council regarding the externally funded Chair in Injury Prevention. I understand it has now been approved by the Board of the Faculty of Medicine.

Also attached is a document for consideration by the Committee of Deans, Academic Board and University Council regarding the externally funded RACV Chair in Road Safety. Professor Darvall and I met with the Dean of Engineering and the Dean of Science on 10 June and they agreed that, subject to satisfaction by their respective Faculty Board, the Professor in Road Safety could be appointed 0.2 FT in the Department which most closely relates to the Professor's discipline, with the remaining 0.8 FT at the Accident Research Centre.

Proposal to Establish an Externally Funded Chair in Road Safety


Background

The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC)was established after Council approval in June 1987, with a grant of $300,000 p.a. for three years from the Transport Accident Commission and the Road Traffic Authority. It has progressively developed a multi-disciplinary research program to meet the needs for road safety research and other research to prevent injuries in the home, at work and in sport/recreation. During 1995 the Centre received income of $1,077,423 from grants and $1,049,849 from research contracts, of which total approximately 68% was for road safety research and the remainder for other injury prevention research. Income in 1996 is expected to be at least 15% greater.

Apart from provision of accommodation and use of the University infrastructure, the Centre receives no direct funding from the University, other than that earned through research quantum.

The Centre was reviewed in June 1995 by a Committee chaired by Professor P. LeP. Darvall, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and three external reviewers.

In its summary, the Review stated:

"The Review Committee commends the sponsors, Board of Management (the Board), Director and staff of MUARC for their achievements in transport accident and injury prevention research and application. Their work has brought great benefit to the community and credit to Monash University.

It is clear that the management structure of the Centre is appropriate and that the Centre's collaborative relationships are both strong and effective. The community need for the continued advice of the Centre seems assured, so the Centre should remain financially viable if it maintains the quality and impact of its research."

One of the recommendations of the Review was:

"The Director and Board investigate the establishment of two externally funded Chairs within MUARC. These two chairs would be in the areas of injury prevention and in road safety. Funding for the establishment of these chairs may be sought from the medical field in the case of injury prevention, from groups which benefit from the research in the area of road safety such as TAC, RACV, etc."

Present Proposal

The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) Ltd has provided a donation of $100,000 p.a. (recently indexed to $107,500 p.a.) for road safety research at the Accident Research Centre since 1991. It has now agreed to increase this amount to $150,000 p.a. indexed to fund a Chair in Road Safety and secretarial support at MUARC, initially for a five year fixed term. They have requested that the Chair be designated as the RACV "Chair in Road Safety".

It is proposed that the Professor also has a 0.2 FT appointment in the Department which most closely relates to the Professor's discipline. This will enable some longer term research in road safety to be undertaken as well as closer links to be established between the Accident Research Centre and the relevant Department. It is likely that the appropriate Department would be Civil or Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics or Psychology.

Both the Dean of Engineering and the Dean of Science have agreed to support the establishment of the proposed Chair in Road Safety on the understanding that the appropriate Department for the 0.2 FT appointment would be determined after the Professor is selected.

Current Management & Staffing Arrangements, Accident Research Centre

The Centre's "Board of Management" is responsible for advising the Vice Chancellor on the overall operations of the Centre and, as such, it is actually an Advisory Committee. Its members are appointed by the Vice Chancellor. Its external membership includes representatives of the main Victorian funders, i.e. the Chief Executives of the Department of Human Services, Department of Justice, Transport Accident Commission and VicRoads, senior executives from the RACV and Victoria Police, together with five University representatives of Professorial or higher level.

The Director of the Centre is responsible to the Chairman of the Board of Management, Mr. P. B. Wade, who is responsible for the administrative and financial role normally undertaken by a Dean. The Deputy Vice Chancellor responsible for research and development has been designated as the academic mentor to the Director.

Strong research links have been developed with several University departments including Civil Engineering, Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Forensic Medicine and Psychology. Professor T. J. Triggs (Psychology) is Deputy Director of the Centre and spends 1-2 days a week undertaking research there. Professor K. Ogden (Civil Engineering) spends about 40 days per year working on joint research projects with the Centre.

At present there is one Professorial Fellow, 3 full-time Senior Research Fellows (Level D) and 2 Senior Research Fellows (Level C) among the 41 academic staff employed by the Centre. The staff are all appointed on fixed term contracts, generally for one year or less, or as casual staff, because of uncertainty of future funding. Two staff members have NHMRC/PHRDC four year Research Fellowships and a few Research Fellows have two year appointments because of the duration of their grants/contracts. The Director, Professor A. P. Vulcan, intends to retire at the end of his current 2½ year term appointment in December 1997.

The multi-disciplinary approach to research is facilitated by the wide range of staff qualifications including biomechanics, civil engineering, computer science, epidemiology, mechanical engineering, medicine, psychology, public health, sociology and transport engineering.

Postgraduate Research Students

Another recommendation of the Review of the Centre was:

"MUARC to apply to the PhD and Scholarships committee to be accredited as a centre for the purposes of enrolment of PhD Candidates."

At present several staff are co-supervising Masters and PhD candidates enrolled in various faculties at Monash University and a few invitations to co-supervise PhD students at other Universities have been accepted.

The involvement of the Professor in road safety research at the Centre would provide an important first step in seeking Faculty support for the Centre to be accredited by the PhD and Scholarships Committee for the purposes of enrolment of PhD candidates.

Undergraduate and Coursework Master's Students

Each year several Centre staff give single lectures on injury prevention at Monash University and occasionally at other universities. These are generally at the undergraduate level, although some have been in the Master of Public Health degree. An injury prevention unit is being developed for the MPH course and there is potential for that to be expanded and used in other coursework Master's degrees.

Staff of the Centre have also been involved in supervising students from several Monash University Departments in final year projects and some MPH projects.

The presence of the Professor of Road Safety will enable the Centre's involvement in undergraduate and coursework Master's courses to be formalised and expanded with considerably more, higher level input being available.

Chair Specifics

The RACV Chair in Road Safety will be expected to provide academic leadership and stimulus to road safety through scholarship, contribution to knowledge and professional excellence, in the areas of research, education and community service.

In particular, it is expected that the RACV Chair in Road Safety will:

Worldwide and 8 weeks for applications.

Conclusion

The establishment of a Chair in Road Safety at the Accident Research Centre and with a part-time appointment to an appropriate Department in the Faculty of Engineering or Science will enable expansion of the Centre's involvement in teaching the scientific approach to road safety at the undergraduate and coursework Master's levels. It will also provide the basis for formal supervision of postgraduate students undertaking road safety research at the Centre. It will enable Monash University to be recognised as the leader in road safety research in Australia.
