Subsequent to distribution of the Index of Items and Agenda Papers for Meeting 4/98 of the Board, attention was drawn to a previous resolution of the Academic Board that "in future when major amendments to Monash programs offered by the Monash Mt Eliza Graduate School of Business and Government Ltd were to be considered by the Board, that the formal view of the Faculty [of Business and Economics] would be sought and submitted separately from the Mt Eliza submission" (Minute 8.8.1, Meeting 2/96).

Members noted that in accordance with the 1996 Academic Board resolution detailed above, Steering Committee had withdrawn the proposal from Meeting 4/98, to allow the Faculty of Business and Economics to submit its view in relation to the proposal.

At Education Committee Meeting 3/98 the Committee noted a Council resolution of Meeting 3/96 permitting a specialisation to be included on degree testamurs as follows:

(that) Faculties be permitted to make a case to the University Council should they wish to include the specialisation of the student in the wording of the official testamur for all students receiving a particular degree; and that prior to making such a case to Council, the faculty be required to define the administrative process which would be used to determine the specialisation proposed to be included. (CL3/96/143)

At Meeting 3/98, the Education Committee considered the recommendation of the Associate Deans (Teaching) that a 48 credit point minimum be required to constitute a major specialisation in an undergraduate degree course. The Committee agreed that, before formalising a recommendation to adopt a defined minimum, further analysis of questions raised was required. A Working Party, convened by Associate Professor N White and including Associate Professor A Farley, Dr K Macrae and Mr G Tickell, was established. The recommendations of the Working Party are set out in the attached Report and extracted below.

The Working Party on Definition of Majors recommends, for the purpose of defining a major, that:

• A major to constitute a minimum of 48 points in a field of study or discipline, including a minimum of 12 points at both second and third year levels respectively.
• 'Field of study' be taken to refer to an approved sequence of subjects in cognate areas.
• 'Discipline' and 'field of study' be adopted as interchangeable terms.

That the Education Committee receive the Report of the Working Party on the Definitions of Majors and consider its recommendations for transmission to the Academic Board.

At Education Committee Meeting 4/98 the Committee agreed to form a specialist Working Party to discuss the feasibility, specifications and design of a multi-purpose database, accessible on the Web, to hold final approved versions of subject and course proposals. Such a database would permit the devolution of subject approval to Faculties by facilitating a quality assurance audit option. Simultaneously, it could be linked to the handbook and calendar production processes and integrated into student information and enrolment systems. As agreed, Ms D James has provided a proposed membership structure and draft terms of reference of a specialist group, set out below. The Committee is invited to consider the structure and terms of reference and to identify potential members.

The Working Party to Examine the Feasibility of a Course/Subject Database will investigate the possibility of establishing of an administrative system for the university, which would provide:

• One accessible and authenticated location for approved course and subject details, with sufficient, accurate, multi-level data to serve a range of purposes, including essential QA;
• Easy access to data by approved staff across the University;
• Improved information services to students accessing both print and electronic publications of the university;
• Substantially increased integration with enrolment processes and student records;
• Improved credit transfer and other academic information processing.
• Produce a cost/benefit report by liaising with relevant groups to determine:

1. The extent to which such an administrative system would facilitate the integration and accuracy of course and subject data sources and its subsequent use, university wide;
2. The cost of integrating current data sources to establish such an administrative system.

The Working Party will report to Meeting 7/98 of Education Committee with recommendations, including implications for university wide functional areas, implementation strategies, and timetable, if further development is proposed.

• 2 members of Education Committee (one of whom is Chair)
• 2 Faculty Registrars
• Executive Director: Marketing and Development (or nominee, it is suggested that the Manager: Publishing and Design may be most appropriate)
• Manager: Student Services (or nominee)
• Director: IT Services (or nominee)

After this discussion, members are requested to notify the Acting Secretary of individual strategies into which they are willing to have input, either individually or as a Working Party member.
