Information for Academic Staff

From an Academic staff perspective, the following matters will be of interest:

• Academic Board has 20 elected staff representatives, two from each school.  These representatives can provide the staff voice in debates about policies and other academic matters at UNE. These representatives are voting members of the Board and can thus influence the direction and substance of academic policies. It is important that you know who your representatives are each year, so that you can relay any comments, views or concerns you might have about academic matters to one of them.
• Academic Board also has four elected Professorial representatives (elected by the UNE Professoriate) and three elected academics at the level of associate professors or professor from each of the faculties. These representatives are expected to provide senior academic leadership and input to policy and academic debates and processes. They are experienced academics who could be approached for advice on academic matters as well as to provide a senior-level conduit through staff can express their views at Academic Board.
• The Chair and two Deputy Chairs are elected from the Associate Professors and Professors of Academic Board and, as such, constitute elected members in their own right. You should always feel free to communicate directly with the Chair or one of the Deputy Chairs if you have any ideas, issues or concerns you wish to raise or discuss.
• Academic Board has five Committees to handle areas of academic activity and policy. These Committees are: the Standing Committee, the Teaching & Learning Committee, the Academic Program Committee, the Research Committee and the Higher Degree Research Committee.
• Academic Board is also heavily involved with several important University Committees including: the Special Studies Program Committee and Promotions Committees for Level B, C D & E.
• Academic Board has a number of policies which have an impact on you as a staff member. You can find these policies on the UNE Policies page.
