"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;
