3.  Chancellor’s Business

3.1  Chancellor’s Report to Council on his annual round of discussions with individual Council members

The Chancellor informed Council that during his annual round of discussions, members had indicated overall satisfaction with the direction of the University.

Summarising the discussions, the Chancellor noted the following themes:

• Council has changed given the influx of new members. Council was more searching in its review of the management proposals however the Chancellor also observed that while questioning can at times be de-motivating, members should also take the opportunity to compliment good performance when they can;

• Members should continue to value collegiality and guard against the possibility of it slipping;

• Members expressed the view that time-management of meetings should allow more time for discussion on important/strategic issues;

• the Chair should always encourage the quieter to speak up and encourage the ‘long-winded’ to be quicker in getting to their point;

• overall, time-management of meetings was seen as critical and from time-to-time it may be necessary to start meetings earlier;

• caucusing – members need to retain their independence during debate; and

• while the general view of Councillors was that the performance of management was very good, the Chancellor did offer a few cautionary observations as follows:

  • management should keep in mind the authority that is Council’s;

  • management could make better use of Councillors’ skills;

  • where practicable, Councillors should not learn of major matters via the press;

  • Councillors, in their own right and with the assistance of management, could do more to get to know better Deans and other senior members of staff.

In conclusion, the Chancellor advised that while there had been some contradictory remarks about his style, most found his style congenial and he was "not about to change."

Finally, in relation to confidentiality, the Chancellor reminded all present that if Council was to continue to receive full and frank information from management, then both individually and collectively, members needed to rigorously adopt the necessary discipline outside of meetings.

Chancellor’s visit to Malaysia and Singapore

The Chancellor informed Council that he had participated in recent offshore graduation ceremonies and his itinerary had enabled him to visit the site of the new campus in Malaysia. Referring to the Malaysia campus, the Chancellor advised that Professor Liddell, Pro Vice-Chancellor – Malaysia, was doing a great job, the new campus was developing well and that the new Medical School had recruited a very good management team and was putting in place the necessary research infrastructure.

RESOLUTION CL6/2006/122

Council received and noted the oral report of the Chancellor.

4.  Vice-Chancellor’s Business

4.1  Vice-Chancellor’s Report to Council

The Vice-Chancellor commended his written report to Council and provided the following additional information:

Distinguished Alumni Dinner

The Vice-Chancellor thanked those Council members who participated in this important event.

Research Quality Framework

Noting that the "Guiding Principles" paper had been released, Council was informed that there were still many issues that remained unresolved, however it was clear that the process would be resource intensive.

Open Day

The Vice-Chancellor recorded his thanks to the many staff and students who ensured that Open Day was a success.

Accreditation – Medical School (Malaysia)

While the outcome of the accreditation process was not yet known, the accreditation team appeared to have formed positive opinions of the new campus and major clinical school facilities.

AUQA Audit

Professor Parker outlined to Council some aspects of the exit comments, next steps and possible impacts of the AUQA Report.

The Vice-Chancellor recorded his thanks to Professors Parker and Webb and Ms Robyn Harris for their leadership during the preparation phase and the actual audit.

Press Reports about a Chinese University establishing a campus at Monash

The Vice-Chancellor, noting that at times some journalists tended to extrapolate from a few basic facts to reach their own conclusions, advised Council that the recent newspaper articles in relation to this subject were incorrect. While the International Plan included this matter as a future possibility, Monash was only in preliminary discussions with Chinese universities about the possibility of exploring a future relationship – some very preliminary discussions.

Restructuring of the AVCC

In addition to the Vice-Chancellor’s reported update, the Chancellor noted that the new model may assist Chancellors in emphasising to government that most universities were well run.

Carrick Awards for Distinguished Teaching

The Vice-Chancellor commended the six staff (including one from Monash Malaysia Campus) who received citations for outstanding contributions to student learning.

Recent Media Article about 300 staff redundancies

The Vice-Chancellor advised Council that while the University was continuing to oversee the reduction of staffing numbers in the Faculty of Information Technology, management had set its budget targets for 2007 and did not expect to issue a call for a general round of voluntary redundancies. Noting the continued growth in staff numbers in 2006, management was putting in place strategies to slow staffing growth and at the same time provide existing staff with greater opportunities.

Architecture Program

A feasibility study into the possibility of establishing an architecture program had been completed and the next phase would include further consultation and submitting any proposal through existing processes – including consideration by Academic Board.

Councillors requested further information on a number of matters including the response of the Group of eight Universities to the restructure of the AVCC and the timeline and process of the next cycle of AUQA audits.

RESOLUTION CL6/2006/123

Council received and noted the Vice-Chancellor’s Report to Council.

RMO1998/2347

4.2  Report on Student Services

Mr P. Marshall, Vice-President – Administration, introduced the topic and outlined to Council the major features of the PhillipsKPA report and the next phase of the process, including the budgetary implications of the recommendations.

Matters raised during discussion included:

• increases in the cost of some existing services and subsequent discounts on purchasing those services for ‘card subscribers’;

• the appropriateness of combining student association membership and card subscription as part of one package – the university is still seeking legal advice on this matter;

• the level of funding raised via voluntary fees and charges;

• that final approval of the introduction of a ‘card’ would return to Council, along with the Budget, for Council consideration; and

• the possible timeline for introduction of a ‘Card’.

Summarising the discussion, the Chancellor requested that management give consideration to the range of views expressed during the discussion, that consultation with students associations continue, and that ‘brand issues’ be taken into consideration during the development phase of any proposal to issue a ‘Card’.

RESOLUTION CL6/2006/124

Council:

• approved in principle the PhillipsKPA recommendations set out at paras. 6 and 7 of the distributed document;

• approved the budget planning targets for each Student Association and Monyx/Campus Life set out at para. 9, noting that final budget targets would be confirmed by Council at its meeting in December 2006; and

• noted the likelihood that University Statute 2.7 will require amendment.

• the ‘Case for Appeal’ to be submitted to the December meeting of Council;

• the Planning Committee detailed in the documentation was designed to assist Mr Fairchild with progressing matters prior to the December meeting of Council; and

• governance and Council linkages – the makeup of the Campaign Committee would be progressed to the December meeting of Council.

A Councillor raised during discussion the correct process to be followed should an opportunity arise to gain support for the campaign. The Vice-Chancellor advised that any such opportunities should be referred to Mr Fairchild to ensure the necessary coordination functions are in place.

RESOLUTION CL6/2006/125

Council received the document titled Fundraising Progress Report and noted the advice of Mr Ron Fairchild, Vice-President (Advancement).

RMOR2000/072

For action or noting by: Vice-President (Advancement).

4.4  Marketing and Student Recruitment Plan 2007 – 2010

Ms Lee-Ann Norris, Deputy Vice-President – Advancement, outlined the purpose and objectives of the plan noting that the plan would be implemented at a time of tight recruitment markets where projections indicated little growth in international student numbers and the recruitment of Higher Degree by Research students was a priority for the University.

During discussion the following matters/issues were raised:

• all Monash students were required to meet the policy requirements relating to English language competencies;
