1. Chair composition requirements
Nominees for the role of Chair were previously required to be members of Academic Board; this is no longer a requirement. Academic Board approved a change in Committee Composition (AB/23-4/71), to take effect from the election of the next Chair, whose term starts on 1 January 2025, allowing nominations for the position of Chair, Courses Accreditation Committee to:
a) be persons who hold curricula experience; and
b) be from deputy deans, associate deans or heads of schools (or equivalent); and
c) include that persons who do not hold any of the positions in b) above may also be considered if co-nominated by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and the current Chair, Courses Accreditation Committee; and
d) include that in the event the Chair, Courses Accreditation Committee is seeking renomination or is from the office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) or a related division or portfolio, the co-nomination will be from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research).
Noting that:
The Chair, Courses Accreditation Committee will remain an ex officio member of Academic Board.
Curricula experience is defined as expertise as a leader at a school or faculty level in curricula, course/program areas, and/or course accreditations.
2. On the recommendation of the chair, the committee has the power to approve the co-option of members on the basis of their skills and experience as appropriate.
