  1. Listing of Key Issues and Documents for Discussion [Item A.4]

    7.1 Building Value through Brand Equity Presentation

    Mr Pat Freeland-Small, Vice-Principal (Marketing & Communications) gave an audio-visual presentation on “Building Value through Brand Equity”, which provided Council with an analysis of the University’s marketing strategy for 2009. Included in the presentation was a description of the various components of the Marketing and Communications Division and their role in providing a wide spectrum of professional services that support the promotion of the University of Melbourne brand. Council noted that it was likely that the University “total spend” in this area was less than its major competitors and that it was vital to have a co-ordinated approach to promotion and marketing. This was particularly so when the Graduate School model was in the early days of its development and was a key differentiating factor from other Universities in Australia. Other functions of the marketing team were to communicate research outcomes to the community, to support the Advancement function and to improve internal communications within the University.

    Mr Freeland-Small explained to Council the distinction between the Marketing function and the Student Recruitment (or sales) function which in many respects were quite different activities but at the same time were complementary to each other in terms of their common goal to support the University’s achievement of student load targets. Council noted that graduate student recruitment was likely to present the most challenges in 2009 for a variety of reasons.

  1. Chancellor’s Report [Item B.1]

    8.1 Role of Chancellor

    Council noted that nominations for Chancellor will be called for by the University Secretary shortly, with an election date set for the next Council Meeting on 8 December. 

    The Chancellor reminded members of the working dinner that would follow the meeting at which the discussion topic was the “Role of the Chancellor” and for which background papers had been prepared and distributed by the University Secretary.

    8.2 Council Discussions with Deans

    Council endorsed the proposed schedule as detailed in the Chancellor’s Report.

    8.3 Response to Committee of Convocation

    Council noted the background to the concerns expressed by the Committee of Convocation about membership of Faculty Boards in the new legislative structure.  It endorsed the following principles:  (i) that the President of the Committee of Convocation should continue to have a standing invitation to attend all meetings of Council, including the annual Planning Conference and to have the right to speak on all matters pertaining to the Committee; (ii) that Council Standing Committees should have provision for membership of a member of the Committee of Convocation; and (iii) that sub-committees of Council Standing Committees and ad hoc Council committees should not necessarily contain provision for membership of a Committee of Convocation representative (although they would not be precluded from membership if this was thought desirable).

    In relation to the new draft Statute 5.1 “The Faculties”, Council resolved to advise Faculties that its sentiments were that any new Statute governing Faculties should include provision for a member of the Committee of Convocation to be included in the membership of an Advisory Board to each Faculty.

    8.4 Forthcoming Dates

    Council members were reminded of forthcoming important dates, including a visit to the Australian Synchrotron at Blackburn Road, Clayton on 28 October 2008.

10.9 Alfred Deakin Prize awarded to Marcia Langton

The Vice-Chancellor reported that Professor Marcia Langton was awarded the Alfred Deakin Prize in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards for an Essay Advancing Public Debate.

10.10 Resignation of VP (Information) and Chief Information Officer

10.11 Student Housing Co-operative Model

The Vice-Chancellor introduced a paper entitled “Feasibility of the University Supporting a Student Housing Co-operative Model”, which was produced in response to a resolution of Council at its meeting on 1 September 2008, when the question of the student housing crisis was discussed at length. Council was reminded of the intensity with which the housing situation had worsened over previous years due to a number of factors beyond the control of the University.

The Vice-Chancellor advised that the University was sympathetic to students in difficulties with their accommodation on a long term basis and the feasibility study had shown that the concept of student housing co-operatives was a constructive and potentially viable response to the problems of the current housing market. The Provost endorsed this, adding that the Student Housing Service in particular, had a strong commitment to positive housing outcomes for students.  A paper produced by the Student Housing Co-operative (SHAC) (but not formally received by Council) was acknowledged as making an important contribution to the discussion, especially in view of the engagement of other organisations who had indicated support for the issue.

Council noted that the Melbourne City Council had delivered a Building Notice in respect of the buildings at 272-278 Faraday Street dated 3 October 2008 in which extensive alterations were required in order to make the premises safe for occupation.  The University had 30 days in which to respond. It was inevitable that the student squatters on these premises would be asked to leave in the near future.

In the debate that followed, a number of observations were made about various aspects of the current situation. 

In regard to current initiatives on the part of the University, Council noted that:

  • The Vice-Chancellor had employed the former Vice-Principal (Property and Campus Services), Mr Russell Elliott, with a specific brief to investigate options for large scale student housing on a long term basis across a wide catchment area.
  • A number of possible sites for accommodation were in prospect, including the old Royal Women’s Hospital and some staff housing associated with it; a site opposite Newman College for which approaches had been made to the State Government, which were unsuccessful but which could be re-opened; and purchase of land in Royal Parade was in progress that could potentially provide student housing close to Parkville.
  • The University (including its affiliated Colleges) was already providing housing to over 2500 students and in 2008 had contributed over $500,000 towards the cost of emergency housing for more than 500 students. It was able to identify further emergency housing to meet the needs of Melbourne students currently occupying Faraday Street.

In regard to the Colleges, Council was advised that applications were running at around 4 for every available place.  It was reminded that Medley Hall would be closed for alterations in 2009 in order to bring it up to modern compliance standards.  As parts of the facility were compliant, students had been given until the end of the assessment period to remain, so that their studies would not be disrupted.

Noting that the compliance deadline for Faraday Street was in the very near future, student members sought an explanation of why this could not also be delayed to bring it into line with Medley Hall.  The Vice-Chancellor explained that this was to do with the Improvement notice over which the University had no control – unlike Medley Hall.

The President of UMPA, Ms Tammi Jonas, spoke in support of the SHAC occupation of Faraday Street, praising the approach being taken by members towards providing support for needy students and maintaining the premises in a habitable condition.  She suggested that the premises should be allowed to be refurbished (on the basis that it would be at no cost to the University) and then used as a model of how a student housing co-operative could be successful.  Ms Jonas urged the University to take a leadership role in this regard in promoting the model to the State Government.  These views were supported by Ms Hannah Hayman.

Dr Doig, who chairs the Board of Directors of MUSUL, advised that the matter was also under consideration by their Board, since they have a responsibility for the provision of facilities and services to students.  Subject to further consideration, some financial reserves could be made available to assist with housing, provided a commercial return on any loans could be achieved.

At various points in the discussion, Council returned to the question of financial viability and the cost benefit comparisons of retaining Faraday Street as student housing or spending equivalent sums of money on refurbishing larger facilities that would benefit greater numbers of students.  Council noted also the Vice-Chancellor’s advice that he had determined, on the basis of all available data, that the optimal use of Faraday Street was not for student housing.

Council agreed that it wished to promote a positive sense of engagement and partnership with students on these matters and would fully support their involvement in developing options for future housing needs.

Council resolved to endorse the following recommendations:

  1. A statement of support for student groups seeking to develop student housing co-operatives that are directed towards the needs of low-income students unable to secure housing.
  2. The introduction of a one-off grant scheme to encourage the establishment of student co-operatives directed towards the needs of low-income students unable to secure housing.

This would entail:

    • Provision of up to ten one-off start-up grants ($3,000-$5,000) per annum.
    • Establishment of award requirements, developed through the Office of the Provost and utilising information provided by Student Financial aid and Student Housing Services.
    • Establishment of an open and transparent application process in the final quarter of each year, including award criteria, for grants at the commencement of the following year.
    • Ensuring that provision of housing for low-income students, in particular those unable to source housing, is a threshold criteria for the award of a grant.
    • Management of the grant scheme through Student Financial Aid, utilising existing experience in the management of housing grants.
  1. The extension of Student Housing Services operation to incorporate advice and information on requirements for the establishment of student housing co-operatives.

This would entail:

    • The collation and provision of material on resources and processes for the establishment of student housing co-operatives.
    • Provision of general advice to student groups seeking to establish student housing co-operatives.
  1. An examination led by the Vice-Principal (Property and Campus Services) together with Student Housing Services and interested students, of initiatives the University might take in seeking the provision of other forms of social housing in Inner North Melbourne.
  2. That a report on progress made under item (iv) be reported to the next meeting of Council.

10.12 Compliance Report

Council received and noted the Compliance Report.

10.13 Appointment of Pro-Vice-Chancellors 2009

Council approved the appointment of Professor G Stevens in his capacity as President of the Board and Professor R Slocombe in his capacity as Vice-President of the Board as Pro-Vice-Chancellors of the University for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009.

  1. Provost’s Report – Supplementary [Item B.3(a)]

Council received and noted the Provost’s Report to Council.

11.1 Schedule of Degree Conferring Ceremonies 2009

In answer to a question, the Provost advised that ceremonies held during working hours had not proved popular in the past and had therefore been reduced in number.  Council endorsed the Conferring Ceremonies Schedule for 2009, subject to any amendments made by the Provost as circumstances may require.

11.2 Provost and Heads of Colleges Meeting

Council noted that the former Joint Committee of the Academic Board and Heads of Colleges Committee had been reviewed and would henceforth become the “Provost and Heads of Colleges Meeting”, with similar membership but much broader terms of reference. Council noted the Provost’s advice that he was planning with the co-operation of the Colleges a major new initiative with regard to the orientation of new students who were not planning on becoming College residents.  This would be progressed through the new meeting arrangements.

  1.  Senior Vice-Principal’s Report [Item B.4]

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

    12.1 Delegation Arrangements – Information Services

    Council approved the authority currently vested in the Vice-Principal (Information) to purchase library materials under Regulation 17.1.R.6, to be exercised by the Acting University Librarian.

    It noted that recommendations to amend Regulations 8.1R7 and 17.1R6 and Statutes 13.1 and 14.1 would be brought forward at a later date.

  2. Finance Committee [Item C.1]

Council received and noted a report from the Finance Committee meeting 5/2008 held on 1 October 2008.

13.1 Student System

13.2 Faculty Accommodation Alignment Program

Council approved the allocation of $250,000 to fund feasibility work and preparation of a plan in support of this program from Reserve Funds.

13.3 Property Acquisitions

Council approved the allocation of Reserve Funds to purchase a property in Royal Parade as detailed in Appendix 4 of the report, noting that a bid to acquire a second property in Bouverie Street had been unsuccessful.

13.4 University of Melbourne Financial Statements

 The Chair of the Investment Management Committee, Mr Robert Johanson was invited to speak to this item.  He informed Council that, due to the dramatic downturn in financial markets, the market value of the University's investment portfolio (which had risen strongly over the past 5 years) was currently significantly lower than it was at the beginning of the current financial year.  Action of our fund managers has resulted in the realisation of capital losses and these have reduced the University's overall surplus for the year, resulting in a potential breach of one of its loan covenants to the National Bank.  The Vice-Principal and Chief Financial Officer reported that a waiver had been sought from the Bank which it is expected will be granted.  The Investment Management Committee had been monitoring the volatility of the market for some time and had in fact made some early decisions regarding the spread of the portfolio that had proved to be beneficial and lessened the impact of the losses.

Mr Johanson advised that the current situation was serious and that if it continued to deteriorate, the University would be forced to reduce its expenditure on or withdraw from some activities.  Meanwhile, it was important to concentrate on taking costs out of the business wherever possible.  He also reminded Council that recent events highlighted the fact that the University was in effect too dependent on its investment income to maintain its surplus and that operating deficiencies should be addressed.  This was supported by the Chairperson of Finance Committee, Ms Alexander.
