Vice-Chancellor Executive Committee – Meeting held on Tuesday 25 July 2000
Discussion at this meeting included:

Tuition Fees 2001
Further to discussion at the Council Finance Committee, the previous week, tuition fees for 2001 were considered, in anticipation of the Council meeting the following day.

In the event, Council passed the following resolutions:

THAT Council accept the Government’s offer to provide a Special Supplementary Grant for 2001 equivalent to 2.3 per cent of the public subsidy in return for the University holding its tuition and course related fees at 2000 levels.

THAT Council register with Government an analysis of any negative impact of such an arrangement on the University finances and request Government to consider increasing the rate of the Special Supplementary Grant so that it better reflects inflationary and other cost pressures on the University.

THAT Council encourage Government and TEAC to address the matter of University funding and its impact on the quality of higher education and research as a matter of urgency.

This means that University domestic tuition fees for 2001 will be the same for one EFTS as for this year, GST inclusive:

FEE BAND

1 Arts, Social Sciences $3,410

2 Business, Accountancy, Law $3,610

3 Science, (except for Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry, Plant and Microbial Sciences, Geological Sciences, Zoology), Computing, Fine Arts, Music, Theatre and Film Studies $3,810

4 Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry, Plant and Microbial Sciences, Speech and Language Therapy, Geological Sciences, Zoology $3,970

5 Engineering, Forestry $4,210

It is worth noting that the fees stabilisation exercise covers not only tuition fees but also course costs. Administration charges, examination fees, other fixed charges associated with a programme of study, material charges, costs of field trips and any compulsory purchase of equipment or books through the institution are all frozen for 2001.

IT Structure
Associate Professor Mike Dewe, Interim IT Director, was present to assist in a general discussion of the draft of the final report of the Planning and Implementation Committee on changes to IT structures, and the new IT Committee structure.

Fees Policy
The domestic tuition fees policy regarding payment, refunds, etc. for the 2001 Handbook/Calendar was adopted.

Copies are available from Mrs Linda East, Manager, Student Administrative Services, (ext 6189).

Education and Science Committee – Enquiry into Student Fees, Loans, Allowances and the Overall Resourcing of Tertiary Education
The final draft of the submission to the Education and Science Committee of Parliament was approved. The submission was also approved by the Council, the following day. Copies of both the TEAC and the Select Committee submissions are available on the web –http://regyweb.canterbury.ac.nz/External/index.htm; hard copies are available from Kathy Watkins on k.watkins@regy.canterbury.ac.nz.

General Staff Contract
A recommendation, made by Union negotiators, to separate the General Staff collective contract negotiations from Job Evaluation issues had been accepted by the University’s negotiators. The collective contract would now be put to ratification by staff without the Job Evaluation elements. Both parties were still committed, however, to progressing agreement on the introduction of Job Evaluation for General Staff. The elements of Job Evaluation will continue to be discussed outside formal negotiations and, if eventually agreed by separate ratification, will then be inserted into the collective contract.

Health Planning Day
The Health Planning Day will be held on Tuesday 8 August 2000. Enquiries to Raylene Palmer, ext 6630 or r.palmer@regy.canterbury.ac.nz.

In addition, specific issues will be reported in relation to the Statement of Objectives reporting cycle, about which Council might receive reports at a particular time of the year, eg issues relating to Academic and Student Services, External Relations, Research, IT etc.

The first Finance, Human Resources and Capital Development reports were received, including an Environmental Initiatives report and a report from the Environmental and Resource Use Committee.

University of Canterbury Development Foundation
The report from the Vice-Chancellor Executive Committee, which had also been received by the Academic Board at its meeting earlier in the month, recommending the establishment of a University of Canterbury Foundation and the appointment of an Executive Director to the Foundation was approved.

Academic Proposals
The BSc (Hons) degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, the Introduction of three 100 level courses in Korean and the Limitation of Entry proposal for AMST 308 were all approved.
