Members having a direct commercial or financial interest in any item before this meeting must declare that interest to the Chair via the Committee Secretary prior to consideration of the item, and must not take part in a vote on any matter concerning it.

The Committee should note that certain items have been starred as requiring discussion. Additional items may be starred at the discretion of the Committee.

All items related to new courses have been starred for the attention of the Committee.

That the Committee nominate any additional items to be starred, and endorse the recommendations for items other than those starred.

p 1 - 6

A report from Meeting 4/99 of the Academic Board to the Education Committee is attached.

The Committee is invited to note that each recommendation in the Report of Meeting 3/99 of the Education Committee was approved as put forward to the Academic Board.

Two matters were however, referred to the Education Committee for consideration as detailed below. (These items were considered at Education Committee Meeting 3/99 as items 11.2.5 and 11.2.6.)

Separate proposals were put to the Academic Board to approve major amendments to the Graduate Diploma of Arts (Foreign Affairs and Trade) and the Master of Arts (Foreign Affairs and Trade). Academic Board approved the proposals of the Board of the Faculty of Business and Economics to:

amend the ownership and course structure of the Graduate Diploma of Arts (Foreign Affairs and Trade) and change the title of the course to the Graduate Diploma in Diplomacy and Trade; and

amend the ownership of the Master of Arts (Foreign Affairs and Trade) and change the title of the course to the Master of Diplomacy and Trade.

It was noted at Academic Board that the supporting documentation for these items (including one set of documentation relevant to both proposals) included a proposal to "add a distance education option to the current on-campus approval". (A copy of this documentation is attached for reference.)

As it was unclear whether the distance education option had been explicitly addressed as part of the approval process for the major amendments to these courses, the Academic Board referred the matter back to the Education Committee for consideration.

That in relation to the Graduate Diploma in Diplomacy and Trade and the Master of Diplomacy and Trade, Education Committee:

note that for both courses, Academic Board approved a change of title and a change of ownership from the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Business and Economics;

note that the Master of Diplomacy and Trade will be included in the Schedule of Exceptions in the Graduate Studies Policy; and

endorse for submission to Academic Board the proposal to include the option of distance education for both courses, in addition to their existing on-campus enrolment mode.

p 7 - 10

At its Meeting 3/99, the Academic Board approved recommendations contained in a summary of the Final Report of the Academic Board LTOP Working Party on Cross-Faculty Programs (Minute 4.1.2). A copy of this summary final report is attached for information.

(The full final report can be located on the web at the following address: http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/apsu/abwp/mf/report.htm)

Two of the recommendations contained in the summary final report which were approved by the Academic Board (Recommendations 3 and 4) required action from the Education Committee and are extracted in the recommendation below.

That, noting the approved recommendations contained in the summary Final Report of the Academic Board LTOP Working Party on Cross-Faculty Programs, Education Committee:

Invite faculties to:

identify areas of common interest which are relevant to policies approved by Academic Board 8/98, by 2000; namely, ‘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"’;

explore the potential for cross-listing and collaboration in their range of subject offerings, and the sharing of subject modules where feasible; and

Identify and consider policies and procedures which are inconsistent across faculties and, where appropriate, develop a consistent overarching policy in the interest of consistent and equitable treatment of students; and that

where continuation of inconsistent policies and procedures is sought, faculties be asked to present a rationale to Education Committee for approval;

when subjects and majors are given full academic recognition in more than one faculty, all relevant policies be consistent.

p 11 -14

At its Meeting 3/99, the Education Committee established a working party to investigate and make recommendations about the ranking of student results (Minute 7). An Interim Report from the Working Party on Ranking of Student Results is attached.

That Education Committee note and endorse the directions currently being followed by the Working Party on Ranking of Student Results as detailed in the document presented, noting that further research is required by the working party prior to recommendations being made.

p 15 -16

At its Meeting 3/99, the Education Committee established a Working Party on Exclusion for Unsatisfactory Academic Progress to consider issues in relation to the University’s exclusion and exclusion appeals policies and procedures.

The Education Committee requested that members meet initially to draft Terms of Reference. These draft Terms of Reference are attached.
