1.5.3 Governance - National Governance Protocols for Public Higher Education Institutions

The Chancellor introduced the discussion on the National Governance Protocols for Public Higher Education Institutions noting that the protocols included with the agenda papers were the proposed revisions drafted on behalf of the university Chancellors and the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee (AV-CC) which the Minister, during passage of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA), had indicated were broadly acceptable to the government. Further, initiatives contained in HESA, including additional funding, would be conditional on universities meeting a number of criteria including compliance with the protocols.

The Chancellor, referring to the active involvement of the AV-CC in negotiating changes to HESA, requested that the Vice-Chancellor pass on Council's appreciation to the AV-CC for their strong advocacy role in this matter.

Background

The Chancellor outlined, for the benefit of members, some aspects of governance where improvement had been achieved over the past three to four years including:

• respect for the confidential nature of some topics discussed at meetings of Council;
• a consensus approach to decision-making which conserved collegiality and resulted in very few instances of a vote being taken;
• the agenda for each meeting should focus on "important issues";
• management of the University was responsible as spokespersons - Council members were advocates for decisions taken by Council;
• Council agenda papers were for personal use and not for distribution to other entities;
• Council member performance reviews - each member had an annual one-to-one performance review meeting with the Chancellor. An overarching summary of the issues raised during the discussions was then presented to Council; and
• Vice-Chancellor's review - following discussions between the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, a set of annual performance targets for the Vice-Chancellor was agreed at Council with an assessment of achievements undertaken at the end of each year.

The Chancellor concluded his introductory comments and suggested that Council discuss each of the protocols and Monash's level of compliance.

Protocol 1

The university must have its objectives specified in the enabling legislation.

The Secretary read to Council a précis of the Monash University Act 1958 - Part 1 Division 1 Section 5 - Objects of the University.

Protocol 2

The university's governing body should adopt a statement of its primary responsibilities, which include:

• appointing the Vice-Chancellor as the chief executive officer of the university, and monitoring their performance;
• approving the mission and strategic direction of the university, as well as the annual budget and business plan;
• overseeing and reviewing the management of the university and its performance;
• establishing policy and procedural principles, consistent with legal requirements and community expectations;
• approving and monitoring systems of control and accountability, including general overview of any controlled entities;
• overseeing and monitoring the assessment and management of risk across the university, including commercial undertakings;
• overseeing and monitoring the academic activities of the university;
• approving significant commercial activities.

The university's governing body, without abdicating from its ultimate governance responsibilities should have the normal power of delegation for the effective discharge of these responsibilities.

During discussion, members provided a range of comments and noted that the protocol was silent on a range of issues. Discussion included;

• while the protocol specified a range of broad responsibilities, the role of Council included the need to not only monitor the performance of the Vice-Chancellor but to appraise performance and to provide a forum to assist the Vice-Chancellor to move forward;
• Council has a responsibility to not only approve the mission of the University but also to approve and monitor medium to long-term objectives;
• the protocol should be more specific in setting out the responsibilities of Council in the areas of financial, capital and asset management;
• the protocol was silent on reporting to stakeholders and succession planning;
• most universities were established by state legislation and any required legislative change would be subject to discussion between state and federal departments; and
• a number of general but related issues were raised including that the federal debate had been dominated by financial considerations; that each university had a specific culture which had a bearing on how it responded to issues and that Monash was moving towards an annual plan which would be presented to Council for consideration.

The Chancellor summarised the discussion noting the comments of members and suggested that the protocols be viewed as the minimal requirement and that Monash could develop its own statement of responsibilities that could incorporate the comments of members and any aspects that were unique to Monash.

Protocol 3

The enabling legislation of the university should specify the duties of the members of the governing body and sanctions for the breach of these duties. Other than the Vice-Chancellor and the Presiding Member of Academic Board each member should be appointed or elected ad personam. All members should be responsible and accountable to the governing body. The duty of a member of the governing body is always to exercise the functions of a member with the interests of the university as a whole paramount rather than simply as a delegate or representative of a particular constituency.

Duties of members should include the requirements to:

• act always in the best interests of the university as a whole, with this obligation to be observed in priority to any duty a member may owe to those electing or appointing him or her;
• act in good faith, honestly and for a proper purpose;
• exercise appropriate care and diligence;
• not improperly use their position to gain an advantage for themselves or someone else; and
• disclose and avoid conflicts of interest (with appropriate procedures for that purpose adapted from the articles of a public company).

There should be safeguards, exemptions and protections for matters or things done or omitted in good faith. In addition these should include such safeguards, exemptions and protections as would be available were the member a director under the Corporations Law.

The enabling legislation should include a requirement that the governing body has the power (by a 2/3 majority) to remove any member of the governing body from office if the member breaches the duties specified above. A member must automatically vacate the office if he or she is, or becomes, disqualified from acting as a Director of a company or managing corporations under Part 2D.6 of the Corporations Act.

Following comments from the Secretary on areas of the protocol where the Monash University Act 1958 clearly complied, the Chancellor commended the behaviour and input of previous student members of Council noting that their role was often difficult given the expectations placed on them by their constituencies.

Members noted the following:

• the Monash University Act 1958 did not include any provision for removal of members (for a breach) by a vote;
• on the issue of voting at meetings of Council (refer Section 20 of the Monash University Act 1958), one view expressed was that members voted by consensus. Further views expressed included that voting could be divisive and be used to stifle debate, a member could request a vote on a specific matter and a member could request that the Minutes included a record that they dissented from the overall outcome of the discussion;
• the statement "There should be safeguards, exemptions and protections for matters or things done or omitted in good faith." was unsatisfactory in that it could be used to justify any type of behaviour and Council should develop and adopt its own "Code of Behaviour" and define "good faith";
• on the issue of conflict of interest relating to student and staff members, a member suggested that student and staff members often held a particular view and interest in the welfare of the University which should not be seen as being in conflict with the responsibilities of being a Council member. Further, what was "in the best interests of the University" could be deemed a subjective statement and views might differ from member to member; and
• in response to a query relating to Council meeting in camera for special topics and the number of confidential items included on Council agendas, the Secretary informed members that the practice of meeting in camera at the two special meetings of Council per year was an outcome of a previous governance discussion where it was resolved that free-flowing and open discussion would be better facilitated if observers were not present during those two occasions. (Secretarial note: observers were admitted to attend during discussion of all normal items on the agenda at special meetings.)

Council was advised that the Chancellor's and Vice-Chancellor's view of confidential items on the agenda was that the business of the University should be as open and transparent as possible and that confidential agenda items should be kept to a minimum and only where necessary i.e. commercial-in-confidence etc.

During discussion, the Vice-Chancellor commended Mr Alastair McKenzie on his initiative for planning and organising an induction seminar for student representatives on Victorian-based University Councils.

Concluding the discussion, the Chancellor noted that a number of the requirements were not matters that Council could codify as they would require legislative change to the Monash University Act. Further, that while members were subject to a range of differing pressures and conflicts, it was pleasing that members were cognizant and vigilant in this area.

Protocol 4

Each governing body should make available a programme of induction and professional development for members to build the expertise of the governing body and to ensure that all members are aware of the nature of their duties and responsibilities. At regular intervals the Governing Body should assess both its performance and its conformance with these protocols and identify needed skills and expertise for the future.

The Chancellor provided some introductory comments on the current induction process, lack of a formal professional development program and the method of performance assessment.

Comment and suggestions of members included:

• Council members needed to be offered the tools to enable them to develop as members including developing an understanding of financial statements;
• a full-day induction and development seminar be reintroduced;
• that information be obtained on available AV-CC programs that would benefit members; and
• while individual performance assessment of Council members was in place, Monash did not have an evaluation process whereby the performance of Council as a whole was undertaken.

The Chancellor agreed that an additional induction/development program be developed and requested that Professor Stephen Parker prepare an initial program outlining the content.

Protocol 5

The size of governing body should be up to 22 members. There should be at least two members having financial expertise and at least one member with commercial expertise. There should be a majority of external independent members (as appropriately defined and who are neither enrolled as a student nor employed by the university). There should not be current members of any State or Commonwealth parliament or legislative assembly other than where specifically selected by the governing body itself.

Council noted that the number and composition of Council was contained in Division 2 Section 7 - Composition of Council of the Monash University Act 1958.

Protocol 6

The university is to adopt systematic procedures for the nomination of prospective members of the governing body for those categories of members that are not elected. The responsibility for proposing such nominations for Council may be delegated to a nominations committee of Council that the Chancellor would ordinarily chair.

Members so appointed should be selected on the basis of contributing to the effective working of the governing body by having needed skills, knowledge and experience, an appreciation of the values of a university and its core activities of teaching and research, its independence and academic freedom and the capacity to appreciate what the university's external community needs from that university.

To provide for the introduction of new members consistent with maintaining continuity and experience, members' terms should generally overlap and Councils should establish the maximum period to be served. This should not normally exceed 12 years unless otherwise specifically agreed by the majority of the Council.

In response to the suggestion that Membership Committee needed a criteria to work from when selecting prospective Council members, the following statement from the protocol was suggested as appropriate:

"Members so appointed should be selected on the basis of contributing to the effective working of the governing body by having needed skills, knowledge and experience, an appreciation of the values of a university and its core activities of teaching and research, its independence and academic freedom and the capacity to appreciate what the university's external community needs from that university."

Protocol 7

The university is to codify and collate its internal grievance procedures and publish them with information about the procedure for submitting complaints to the relevant ombudsman or the equivalent relevant agency.

During discussion, it was suggested that while Monash's internal grievance procedures might be deemed "codified", they were not necessarily collated. Further, the Vice-Chancellor agreed that it might be an appropriate time to review the procedures for currency and suitability.

Protocol 8

The annual report of the university should be used for reporting on high-level outcomes.

Council noted the advice of the Chancellor that high-level outcomes, including Triple Bottomline Reporting are included in the University's Annual Report to Parliament.

Protocol 9

The annual report of the university must include a report on risk management within the organisation.

Council noted the advice of the Chancellor that Monash complied with this protocol.

Protocol 10

The governing body is required to oversee controlled entities that incur risk by taking reasonable steps to bring about the following:

• ensuring that the entity's board possesses the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to provide proper stewardship and control of the entity;
• appointing some directors to the board of the entity who are not members of the Council or officers or students of the university, where possible;
• ensuring that the board regularly adopts and evaluates a written statement of its own governance principles;
• ensuring that the board documents a clear corporate and business strategy which reports and updates annually the organisation's long-term objectives and includes an annual business plan containing achievable and measurable performance targets and milestones; and
• establishing and documenting clear expectations of reporting to the governing body, such as a draft business plan for consideration and approval before the commencement of each financial year and at least quarterly reports against the business plan.

Members noted the following:

• the establishment of Monash Commercial Pty Limited had gone a long way towards ensuring that the minimum standards required in the protocol were met for reporting by Monash Commercial entities, however, those controlled entities not reporting to Monash Commercial would require separate assessment; and
• it was suggested that an area where improvement might be achieved was reporting against business plans.

Protocol 11

Entities (including associated companies, joint ventures and partnerships) that are not subject to audit by a State, Territory or Commonwealth Auditor-General should, after appropriate risk assessment, be audited by an external auditor and the auditor's management report provided to the university's council.

Following discussion, Council noted that the drafting of the protocol was imprecise and would require further clarification before Monash could state it complied or otherwise.

Noting comments that the intent and scope of Protocol 11 was unclear, members suggested that the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor communicate the views of Council to Chancellors and the AV-CC respectively.

Following discussion of the National Governance Protocols for Public Higher Education Institutions, Council revisit some of the issues raised during the earlier discussion.

On the issue of Monash's compliance with the protocols, it was suggested that the Secretary to Council prepare a document on those areas of the protocols where Monash could improve its compliance. Further, noting that there were a number of requirements outside of Monash's control (e.g. aspects that required legislated changes to the Monash University Act) and areas where the protocols were silent, it was suggested that the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor enter into a dialogue with Chancellors and the AV-CC respectively detailing Monash's comments on the protocols.

Other matters raised included that the Chancellor would provide an explanation at Council for items deemed confidential and that Professor Parker be requested to develop a half-day induction/professional development program for consideration at the next meeting of Council.

Drawing the discussion to a conclusion, the Chancellor invited Professor Alan Lindsay, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and Chair of Academic Board to comment on the role of Academic Board and the governance framework of the University.

Professor Lindsay advised Council that the Academic Board was one of the threads integral to the governance framework of Monash and its role went beyond that outlined in the AV-CC document Chancellors and AV-CC Statement on University Governance and any enhanced protocols developed within Monash should ensure that the role of the Board was not constrained.

The Vice-Chancellor supported the view of Academic Board as an independent voice for active academics, which would have an elected President presiding within the next two weeks.

RESOLUTION CL1/2004/2

Council received the documents titled Chancellors and AVCC statement on university governance and the National Governance Protocols for Public Higher Education Institutions and discussed and made a range of suggestions in relation to Monash's capacity and level of compliance with the requirements detailed in the protocols.
