That Council note the following statement of concern expressed by the

"The Education Committee registers its concern regarding the impact
that reductions in funding for the teaching and learning activities of the
University will have on the quality and standards of teaching and on the
quality of the graduates of the University. In particular, the Committee
agreed that the University should make commitments to its students and staff
on the following points. The University should:
Acknowledge its obligation to ensure that a range of subjects of
appropriate diversity continues to be made available to students in all
courses, while recognising that subjects with low enrolments may well now
not be considered viable, and the current range of options, electives and
alternative programs may not be able to be retained in an environment of
continued funding cuts; Ensure that the maximum size of classes is not
greatly increased but that changes where required focus on very small
classes;
Manage teacher workloads to ensure that any increases are appropriate for
the individual academic; Maintain its commitment to transition issues;
Recognise the importance of retaining top teaching staff, and the importance
of retaining younger (often contract) staff;
Recognise the constraints, both physical (facilities) and human, placed
on the size and number of subjects which may be made available;
Recognise that current requirements are stretching current resources to
their limits;
Acknowledge that changes to the research funding available also impact on
the quality and standard of teaching;
Agree that no further increases in cross subsidising of small classes or
other activities should be permitted;
Acknowledge that degradation of library and computer services would
disadvantage students in an unacceptable manner;
Acknowledge that reductions in the overall quality of the teaching
programs available reduces the prospect of attracting international and
other fee-paying students to the academic programs of the university; and
Reinforce its commitment to quality teaching and learning by ensuring
that this commitment to teaching issues and objectives is not lost in the
face of budget cuts."
9.17 Admissions Policy
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the Academic Board:
1. approved the proposal of the Admissions Committee that the Admissions
Policy be amended by the addition of a clause stating that students should
normally be 18 years of age by 31 December of the year in which they are
admitted, noting that where a student would have been admitted other than
for consideration of age they will be offered a deferred place in the course
for the following year, and in some instances they will also be offered a
deferment of consideration under the selection process for the course
without penalty (eg Medicine);
2. approved the following guidelines for a Dean and the relevant
selection officer should they wish to admit a student who is younger than
the normal admission age:
A) The Selection Officer and the Dean must be satisfied that the student
can cope with the course requirements;
B) The student should have a Tertiary Entrance Rank of 90 or above. Where
the student has a Tertiary Entrance Rank less than this, the Faculty may
request the approval of the Vice-Chancellor to admit the student; and
C) The faculty in which the student enrols must provide a mentor for the
first year of enrolment in the course, and must ensure regular meetings
between student and mentor take place;
3. noted that this policy would apply to students applying for admission
to courses at Monash University in 1998 and beyond; and

this policy for students already in secondary school would be
sympathetically considered on a case by case basis.
