*7. REVIEW OF ASPECTS OF STATUTE 4.1 – DISCIPLINE & THE STUDENT ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE POLICY
p 39-84
A memorandum from the Deputy University Solicitor, Ms A Lazar, regarding a review of aspects of Statute 4.1 – Discipline, and the "Student Academic Grievance Policy", is attached. For reference, a copy of the current Statute 4.1 – Discipline, the University’s "Discipline Guidelines" and the "Student Academic Grievance Policy" are attached.
Background:
Student Discipline: Following a detailed review of the University’s legislation, policy and procedures in relation to discipline, a revised Statute 4.1 – Discipline (approved Council 5/98) and "Discipline Guidelines" (approved Academic Board 5/98) were introduced in 1998. It was noted that the revised statute and accompanying guidelines had been the product of extensive consultation with, and detailed consideration by, the Education Committee, the faculties and student groups. Among the changes made was a recommendation that responsibility for academic and general misconduct be devolved to faculties. A number of cases have been processed by the various faculty discipline committees (FDCs) during the past two years. As mentioned in the attached correspondence from the Deputy University Solicitor, this system appears to be working well on the whole. However, some issues have caused concern. These issues are addressed by Ms Lazar in the first half of the attached memorandum. Statute 4.1 – Discipline can also be located in the University Calendar at the following website:
http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/calendar/
Student Academic Grievance: At its Meeting 4/97, the University Council approved a university-wide policy that was forwarded by the Education Committee titled "Student Academic Grievance Policy" (dated 9 July 1997). It was foreshadowed within the policy document that the "Student Academic Grievance Policy" should be reviewed following its implementation. The second half of the attached memorandum from the Deputy University Solicitor highlights issues about the policy that have been raised and areas of concern, and recommends that the policy be reviewed in consultation with the Student Rights Officers of the University. The "Student Academic Grievance Policy" can also be located on the Policy Bank on the University Secretariat’s website at:
http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/unisec/pol/polind.htm
Ms A Lazar, Deputy University Solicitor, has been invited to attend the meeting to speak to this item.
RECOMMENDATION:
That, noting the advice of the Deputy University Solicitor and the documentation presented, Education Committee:
subject to the drafting of appropriate legislation, consider for endorsement the recommendations contained in the memorandum presented in relation to a review of aspects of the University’s discipline legislation, policy and procedures; and
taking into consideration the issues raised in the memorandum presented regarding student academic grievance, request that the Deputy University Solicitor, in consultation with the University’s Student Rights Officers and the Faculty Registrars/Managers group, review and re-draft the "Student Academic Grievance Policy", for submission to a later meeting of the Education Committee.
