* 1. Apologies
have been received from Mr Baker and Miss Pizzey, each of whom has
special leave, and from Mr Ramler.
* 2. Special Leave
has been requested by Mr Ramler for the meeting in hand.
* 3. Membership
Council made the Monash University College Gippsland (Revocation)
Statute at its previous meeting (item 5.2). This statute will come into
effect upon approval by the Governor in Council, expected any day. One
consequence of the legislation is to reduce the membership of Council from
41 to 39 by elimination of the category that provided for two members to be
coopted from the membership fo the Monash University College Gippsland
Advisory Council. The currently serving members in this category are Mr
Crofton Hatsell and Mr Dennis Shore. Mr Hatsell was Chairperson of the
outgoing Monash University College Gippsland Advisory Council and is the
elected Chairperson of the reconstituted Gippsland Campus Advisory Council.
At its previous meeting, Council approved a recommendation from the
Nominations Committee that the currently serving Chairperson of the
Gippsland Campus Advisory Council and his successors be appointed ex
officio to a standing vacancy for a coopted member of the Monash
University Council (item 13). As such, Mr Hatsell will remain a member of
Council for the duration of his term as Chairperson of the GCAC. Mr Shore's
membership of Council will lapse upon approval of the revocation statute by
the Governor in Council. Mr Shore served on the Transitional Council in
1990/91 and has been a member of Council since then.
* 4. Approval of Non-Starred Items
Members who wish a non-starred item to be discussed may so request at
this point, after which the Chancellor will move `that all items on the
agenda not starred be adopted without discussion, and the action recommended
be taken or the information therein noted'.
