7 . Professor W.A. Sinclair
C ouncil adopted the appended minute of appreciation of Professor
Sinclair's contribution to the University as Dean of the Faculty of
Economics and Politics/Faculty of Economics Commerce and Management
between 1983 and 1992.
8. Report of the Vice-Chancellor
8.1 1993 Budget Members considered the separately bound
document Monash University Budget 1993, copies of which had been
previously circulated. The Vice-Chancellor introduced the budget in the
following terms: In presenting the Budget to Council I wish to make
some points in addition to those included in the Budget 1993 statement.
They are as follows:
1. The University Budget is worked on over a six month's period by a
Central Budgets Committee consisting of the Vice-Chancellor (chairman)
the Deputy Vice-Chancellors and the Comptroller. During this time there
is on-going consultation with the Committee of Deans; with amendments
being made by the Central Budgets Committee on the advice of the
Committee of Deans. Individual Deans also meet with the Vice-Chancellor
and Comptroller to discuss specific faculty issues.
2. The central motive in the deliberations of the Central Budgets
Committee is to maximise the amount of money allocated to teaching and
research, the major functions of the University. We have maintained a
percentage of 68.5% going directly to the teaching and research
faculties by an agreed formula which is based on teaching load and
research performance of each Faculty; probably the highest percentage of
any Australian university. The remaining 31.5% is allocated as set out
in the Budget statement but it is worth repeating that the funding of
the Library and the Computer Centre (supporting teaching and research)
is derived from this 31.5%. Each is a fundamental part of the
infrastructure of the University and for 1993 their funding will
increase by 5% and 3.6% respectively. The increase in funding for the
Library is greater than for the faculties because of the importance
placed on correcting deficiencies in library support for teaching and
research.
3. For 1993, recognising the importance of research, the Budget is
funding a full-time Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), a newly created
Monash Research Fund, an increased number of Monash Graduate
Scholarships (the largest increase in the number of Monash Graduate
Scholarships in Monash's recent history is occurring from 1992 to 1993),
a research infrastructure grant yet to be announced and an additional
allocation of $796,000 to the Co-operative Research Centres in the
Faculty of Engineering. It is important to note that the increase in the
number of Monash Graduate Scholarships was made possible by a special
allocation of $400,000 from the Monash University Foundation. |
| 4. As well, Montech Pty. Ltd. has won funding of $2.4 million
over three years for certain research projects, an additional
contribution to University research not recognised in the budget papers.
5. The Monash Development Fund has been retained. A major purpose of
the Fund is to enable new academics to become established; and
applications from the entire University are called for each year. The
amount available in the Development Fund is lower for 1993 because of
commitments already made to research support of CRCs and for
restructuring developments in faculties.
6. In recognition of the difficulties being faced by certain
faculties caused by a decrease in their student teaching load the Budget
includes a "restructuring fund" which is currently being allocated to
those faculties to enable them to adjust to their shortfall in student
enrolments and to make staff changes that will allow them to operate
within budget from 1994.
7. At the most recent meeting of the Academic Board there was a
valuable discussion on the question of how to handle the resource
implications of changes in student demand from faculty to faculty. If
there should be a change of government in 1993 this issue could become
an even more important one. We will be presenting material and
encouraging discussion on this matter at an early meeting of the
Academic Board next year.
8. It is important to remind Council that since its inception the
basic units in Monash have been Faculties and Departments. In preparing
a budget, funds have always been allocated to Faculties, never to
Departments. How Deans allocate funds within their Faculties is their
business. I cannot emphasise too strongly the necessity to retain this
structure which is so fundamental to the management of the University
because decisions about resource allocation must be made according to
teaching and research priorities.
9. Flowing on from this administrative structure there is a process
of decision making which is equally as important. There are Departmental
meetings which may, and do, making recommendations to the Faculty
Boards. All recommendations from Faculty Boards flow on to the Academic
Board. Debate about academic and research priorities for a Faculty
occurs at Faculty Board and Academic Board meetings where decisions
about future directions are determined. The Vice-Chancellor (and the
Deputy Vice-Chancellors) reports to every meeting of the Academic Board
as does the Registrar and Comptroller. All recommendations from the
Academic Board come to Council, where, once again, the Vice-Chancellor
(and his/her Deputies) reports. The Comptroller advised on the
transmission of the document via Finance Committee and Academic Board to
Council. Council adopted the Monash University Budget 1993.
8.2 Korean Links
Council noted that, during a visit of the Vice-Chancellor to Yonsei
University, agreement had been reached for an annual conference to
alternate between Yonsei and Monash. It was envisaged that the
conference, involving approximately ten academics from each university,
would focus on issues of common concern to the Asian Pacific region.
8.3 Hong Kong Graduation
Council noted that a successful graduation ceremony had been held in
Hong Kong on 16 November at which some 200 Monash students had received
awards.
8.4 Open Learning Council considered the appended papers
comprising:
Open Learning Initiative - A
Consolidated Proposal from Monash University (Part 1)
Open Learning - An Academic Perspective
Letter of 4 December from DEET and
Proposal of 2 December from the Vice-Chancellor.
The Vice-Chancellor advised that progress of the Commonwealth
Government's open learning initiative had reached a stage where Council
approval was sought for recommendations designed to establish the Open
Learning Agency of Australia Pty Ltd as an incorporated body, wholly
owned but at arm's length from Monash University. In the course of the
ensuing discussion certain aspects of the open learning concept were
explored and some specific issues were clarified, such as, the
distinction between TVOL and OLAA. It was noted that the TVOL would be
terminated once OLAA was formally established. It was anticipated that
OLAA would address the educational aspirations of two groups: those who
had not had an opportunity to pursue a university education, and, people
albeit qualified to enter university, who had not been able to obtain a
place. The open learning model introduced a new dimension to the
education system and it was suggested that the distinctions between
secondary/TAFE/tertiary students in the education system were becoming
blurred. Professor Pargetter advised that the impact of OLAA upon other
providers of award courses and upon the student body was not yet clear.
It was noted that OLAA had the potential to influence the nature of
university study, hence issues such as resources, liaison with the
affiliated bodies and the consultative process involving clients
(students) would need to be monitored. Professor Pargetter's advice
regarding the emphasis on quality in the OLAA degree programs was noted.
Professor Pargetter also affirmed the importance of academic leadership
of OLAA. Council approved the recommendations of the Vice-Chancellor
pertaining to the establishment of the Open Learning Agency of Australia
Pty Ltd. It was also agreed that the Chancellor may exercise the right
to co-opt members to the sub-committee delegated to act on behalf of
Council in matters pertaining to the OLAA.
8.5 Berwick Campus
Council noted the appended paper advising the approval by the
Minister for Tertiary Education and Training of the Berwick site for
development of a campus of Monash University. |
8.6 Victorian College of Pharmacy
| Council made the appended Statute 2.14 Victorian College of
Pharmacy and Victorian College of Pharmacy Regulations
which provided for the merger of the Victorian College of Pharmacy with
Monash University. |
REW |
8.7 Vice-Chancellor's Alumni Advisory Board
| Council noted the appended report of the
Vice-Chancellor's Alumni Advisory Board. 8.8 Director of Equal
Opportunity and Affirmative Action |
|
| Members noted the appended paper and approved the
Vice-Chancellor's recommendation that Professor Pargetter be appointed
Director of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action pending Professor
Chubb taking up his appointment as Deputy Vice- Chancellor early in
1993. |
MEJ |
8.9 Graduate Diploma in Children's Services
| Council noted the appended paper and endorsed the
Vice-Chancellor's recommendation that the proposal for a Graduate
Diploma in Children's Services be approved.
8.10 Overseas Appointments
Council noted that the Vice- Chancellor had accepted invitations to
become a member of the Committee of Management of the Sir Robert Menzies
Centre for Australian Studies at the University of London and a member
of the Board of Advisors of the Australian Education Office in
Washington.
8.11 Visit to Universities in China
Council noted that the Professor Logan, along with a number of other
Australian Vice-Chancellors had been invited to visit several
universities in China. This visit was scheduled for the period 4 to 9
January 1993. Professor Logan had also been invited to visit
universities and institutions of technology in Vietnam following his
visit to China.
8.12 Senior Appointments |
|
| Council approved the Vice-Chancellor's recommendations
for the following senior appointments: (a) that Professor Peter
Darvall be invited to accept a further five-year term as Dean of the
Faculty of Engineering, commencing March 1993;
(b) that Professor John Freebairn be invited to serve as Acting Dean
of the Faculty of Economics Commerce and Management from 1 January until
30 June 1993, subject to the provision of satisfactory support services;
and
(c) that Professor Robert Pargetter's appointment as Deputy
Vice-Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Arts be extended until 31
March 1993. |
SEH |
8.13 Senior Administration
| Council noted the appended interim report from the Vice-Chancellor
on the senior management of the University. In this context, it was
noted that Professor Porter had accepted a five year appointment as
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) from 1 January 1993, Mr Pritchard had
been seconded to the Open Learning Agency until March 1993, and
Professor Chubb's appointment as Deputy Vice-Chancellor would commence
on 1 March 1993. |
| 8.14Statute 6.2 - Exclusion for Unsatisfactory Progress
(Amendment No. 7) Statute Council made the appended Statute
6.2 - Exclusion for Unsatisfactory Progress (Amendment No. 7) Statute
enabling the University to meet its requirements for properly
constituted Exclusion Appeals Committees from time to time. |
REW |
8.15 Implementation Task Force
| Council endorsed the Vice-Chancellor's recommendation that Mr
Kricker be the Council's nominee on the ECOM/DSFOB Implementation Task
Force.
8.16 Selection Committee for Chair in Business Accounting
The Vice-Chancellor advised on the circumstances influencing the
decision to proceed with the selection of a Chair in Business
Accounting. This position had been advertised prior to the decision to
merge the Faculty of Economics Commerce and Management and the David
Syme Faculty of Business. The Vice-Chancellor recommended as follows:
It is recommended that Council nominate Dr J. Kolm and Miss D.R. Pizzey
to the Selection Committee, and the Committee should meet as soon as it
is practical to consider the applicants. At its first meeting, that the
Selection Committee should consider the impact of the change of
arrangements within the Business area of the University on the position,
and to receive the view of the Implementation Task Force on this
question. The Selection Committee may wish to bring an interim report on
the Chair to Council.
After some discussion several motions intended to defer the procedure
as proposed and to augment the membership of the Selection Committee
were put and lost. |
| Council then endorsed the recommendation of the Vice-Chancellor. |
BRM |
8.17 Faculty of Business and Economics
| The Vice-Chancellor advised on the MBA program at Monash and
proposed the following recommendation intended to clarify the future of
the MBA program in the University:
a. There is only one MBA degree offered by the University and the
program will be the responsibility of the Faculty Board of the new
Faculty of Business and Economics (perhaps via a special standing
committee of that Board). However the program should be broad in
character and such that it could be offered by both the Graduate School
of Economics and the David Syme Graduate School of Business.
b. In view of the historical link between the existing Graduate
School of Management and the new Graduate School of the Faculty of
Business and Economics on the Clayton Campus, and the expectation that
MBA programs are generally offered by either schools of Management or of
Business, the Graduate School of the Faculty on the Clayton campus
should be known as the Graduate School of Economics and Management.
The Vice-Chancellor emphasised the esteem of the Monash MBA as worthy
of retention as one degree within the expanded Faculty. The
recommendations were intended to define the responsibility of the new
Board of the Faculty of Business and Economics for the generic MBA
program, and, to acknowledge the fusion of an historic link with the
past in the present, by re-naming the Graduate School on the Clayton
campus the Graduate School of Economics and Management. After some
discussion several motions were put: one intended to defer the
recommendations, a second intended to clarify the situation of having
the two graduate schools offering the one MBA. These motions were lost.
The Council then endorsed the recommendations of the Vice-Chancellor.
8.18 Circulation of Papers to Council Members
In response to a query regarding the circulation of papers to
members, the Acting Registrar advised that requests for access to
Council members were received fairly frequently and were routinely
referred to the Vice-Chancellor or the Chancellor.
9. Report of the Dean of the David Syme Faculty of Business
Professor Peter Chandler referred to his appended paper and also
presented a series of slides which outlined the operation of the Syme
Faculty within the enlarged University.
10. Report of the Monash University College Gippsland Advisory
Group
Council received and noted the appended report and approved the
following recommendation therein:
10.1 Future Development of Monash University College Gippsland,
Future of the Academic Board, and Future Role of the Advisory Council |
| In reference to the impending retirement of Professor
Tom Kennedy, Mr Hatsell requested and Council agreed to receive the
following minute of appreciation to Professor Kennedy as adopted by the
Monash University College Gippsland Advisory Council: |
GMWJ |
| This Council records with sincere appreciation the strong
leadership and skilful management exercised by the retiring Chief
Executive, Professor Tom Kennedy, to the Monash University College
Gippsland and to its predecessor, Gippsland Institute of Advanced
Education. Professor Kennedy came to Gippsland in 1984 during a
turbulent period for higher education and for the Gippsland Institute,
and in the past eight years had guided the institution to a new focus
with major developments in many areas. Campus growth has been
significant and the rate of increase in student numbers over this period
has been such that a more than doubled enrolment has taken place.
Expansion of Distance Education into Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong,
and nomination of Monash University and particularly MUCG as one of
eight national Distance Education Centres, have been vital developments.
Professor Kennedy has guided the College through a further period of
higher education restructuring and today sees the end of a further phase
with the integration of the MUCG in Monash University as a constituent
campus. |
