SECTION A: REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL

2.0 DOCTORATES AND HIGHER DOCTORATES BY PUBLICATION (DOCTOR OF LETTERS,DOCTOR OF SCIENCE AND DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY PUBLICATION)

2.1 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Research and PostgraduateStudies Committee (6/2001 meeting), considered the new policy "Doctorates and HigherDoctorates by Publication Policy" (01/0364). The proposed new policy combines the currentDoctor of Letters/Doctor of Science policy and the PhD by Publication policy into one policydocument which covers doctorates that are awarded by the University in recognition ofsubstantial scholarly achievements through published works.

2.2 The new policy includes two types of doctorate: one for distinguished doctoral graduates whohave substantial association with Griffith University; and one for established researchers whodo not already hold a doctoral qualification. The policy also incorporates the revised definitionof what constitutes a thesis from the Research Higher Degree policy.

2.3 The Academic Committee noted the following key changes in the new policy document(01/0364):

Changes throughout the document:

• changes in delegation from DVC (Research) to Dean, Postgraduate Education.

• combination of DLitt/DSc policy (00/0065) and PhD (by Publication) Policy (99/0504).These degrees are classified as 'higher doctorates' by DETYA.

• rewording for clarity.

• removal of information that is more appropriately placed in a guideline document (egstatement on number of copies to go to the Library for DLitt/DSc and listing of applicationrequirements which are on the application form, types of published works, and contents ofan introductory statement for PhD Pub).

• as the PhD by Publication was formerly placed within the PhD policy, there is reference tothe new RHD policy for policy guidelines and procedures rather than a restatement in thispolicy document (ie suspension of candidature, variation to period of candidature, reviewof progress, termination of candidature at sections 22-25 and submission, appointment ofexaminers and the examination at sections 26-28).

Specific changes:

• Preamble - addition of the wording "to distinguished doctoral graduates who have had asubstantial association with the University". This was included to distinguish between theDLitt/DSc and PhD Pub where the DLitt/DSc is for doctoral graduates who have made ascholarly contribution (and have an association with the University) as opposed to non-doctoral graduates who have made a scholarly contribution.


• The degree - addition of the wording "the published work may be based on or manifestedin rigorous experimental, theoretical, creative, empirical and/or design inquiry". Thisreflects the change in definition of thesis in the RHD policy for 'non-traditional'submissions.

• Admission procedures - addition of the wording to DLitt/DSc "The applicant will not berequired to enrol but must pay any prescribed fee" to distinguish between the PhD (Pub)where the student must enrol and pay usual student charges and fees.

• Conditions of candidature - (PhD Pub only) - addition of intellectual property informationand standards of academic conduct - but not ethics.

Resolution

2.4 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Research and PostgraduateStudies Committee (6/2001 meeting), resolved to recommend to Council the following:

a. the rescission of the Doctor of Letters and Doctor of Science (DLitt, DSc) Policy(00/0065), and the PhD (by Publication) Policy (99/0504).

b. the adoption of the new policy "Doctorates and Higher Doctorates by PublicationPolicy - Doctor of Letters (DLitt), Doctor of Science (DSc) and Doctor of Philosophyby Publication (PhD)" (01/0364).

3.0 JOINT PHD DEGREE - GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY AND PRINCE OF SONGKLA UNIVERSITY

3.1 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Research and PostgraduateStudies Committee (6/2001 meeting), considered a proposal to establish a joint PhD degreebetween Griffith University and Prince of Songkla University, as described in the submission(01/0365).

3.2 In considering the submission (01/0365), the Academic Committee noted the following issues:

• the joint PhD degree will be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of theUniversity's Research Higher Degree Policy.

• the joint PhD degree will result in a jointly badged testamur.

• a member suggested that section 13 should provide a more detailed statement on thestandard of academic conduct expected, with specific reference to the University's policyon academic misconduct.

• a member questioned the fee arrangements for Thai students studying at Griffith, andAustralian students studying overseas. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) advisedthat fees arrangements for the joint PhD still had to be finalised.

• the Academic Committee agreed that submissions for joint degrees should be consideredon a case-by-case basis, in preference to the development of a generic policy.

Resolution

3.3 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Research and PostgraduateStudies Committee (6/2001 meeting), resolved to recommend to the Council theestablishment of the joint PhD degree between Griffith University and Prince of SongklaUniversity, as described in the submission (01/0365).


4.0 QCA - DOCTOR OF VISUAL ARTS (6009) - MAJOR CHANGE TO PROGRAM SUBMISSION

4.1 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Research and PostgraduateStudies Committee (6/2001 meeting), considered the submission (01/0366) proposing a majorchange to the Doctor of Visual Arts (DVA) program.

4.2 The proposed changes will bring the program in line with current thinking on visual artsresearch with an emphasis on research 'in' studio practice as a legitimate research activity.This change in focus will allow for an acknowledgement of the visual and oral traditions ofindigenous/non-Western researchers and increase the likelihood of completions.

4.3 The proposed changes aim to achieve a number of objectives:

4.3.1 that research 'in' studio practice is legitimate research activity and different fromresearch 'about' studio practice;

4.3.2 the creation of a DVA program that acknowledges the visual and oral traditions ofindigenous researchers;

4.3.3 an increase of the likelihood of completion;

4.3.4 further encouragement of indigenous researchers.

4.4 It is proposed to increase the research 'in' studio practice from 110CP to a minimum of 180CPand maximum of 200CP. This is to be achieved by providing three options within the DVAprogram. The proposed structure of the program is:

OPTION 1STUDIO RESEARCH 200CP plus QCA7206 VISUAL ART RESEARCH

METHODS 20CPEXEGESIS/THEORETICAL DISSERTATION20CP (8,000 - 10,000 words)

• The Gender Studies, Indigenous Studies and Politics, Economy and Society majors offeredon the Gold Coast Campus will be withdrawn

• Two year-long courses called 'Advanced Studies 1 and 2' will be available for studentswishing to prepare for Honours enrolment

Resolution

5.3 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Education Committee (6/2001meeting), resolved to recommend to the Council that the major changes to the Bachelor ofArts, as described in (01/0351), be approved for introduction in Semester 1, 2002.

6.0 BBS GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN FORENSIC OSTEOLOGY (3127) AND MASTER OF FORENSICOSTEOLOGY (5353) – NEW PROGRAM SUBMISSION

6.1 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Education Committee (6/2001meeting), considered the New Program Submission (01/0340) proposing the establishment ofthe Graduate Certificate in Forensic Osteology and the Master of Forensic Osteology, forintroduction in Semester 1, 2002 and Semester 1, 2003 respectively.

6.2 The Graduate Certificate in Forensic Osteology will utilise a practical skills-based emphasis onlaboratory handling, management, and analysis of skeletonised human remains. The Masterof Forensic Osteology will encompass these same practical skills but will also emphasise thelegal aspects of forensic osteology i.e., the skills needed to prepare case files, statements,


and to appear as an expert witness presenting forensic osteology evidence in the courts. TheMasters program will also provide its graduates with a broader awareness of the interactionsof the forensic osteologist with practitioners from other forensic disciplines.

6.3 The Graduate Certificate in Forensic Osteology consists of 40CP of prescribed courses asfollows:

Year Semester Course Code Core Courses Credit Points1 1 BBS7081 Human Osteology 20 CP1 2 BBS7082 Forensic Osteology 20 CP

16.1 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Education Committee (6/2001meeting), considered the submission (01/0280) proposing major changes to the Bachelor ofScience, for introduction in Semester 1, 2002.

16.2 The rationale for the changes is based on:

• the continued lack of competitiveness of the BSc in attracting and retaining highquality students

• the extraordinary and rapid developments in knowledge in the biosciences over thelast 25 years;

• the enormous impact of the applications of this new knowledge across medicine,biomedical research, biotechnology, agriculture and so many other areas of humanactivity;

• the continued high demand by students for the biosciences (as exemplified by approx70% of all BSc students graduating with bioscience majors); and

• formal evaluations of the first year structure, feedback from graduates, and adjunctand other professional colleagues who teach within the program.

16.3 The revised program structure for Year 1 of the Bachelor of Science is as follows:

February Admission

Students must select at least eight of the following courses#:

Year Sem/s Code Course CP1 I BBS1001 Human Biology: the Human Organism 101 I BBS1002 Cell & Molecular Biology 101 I BBS1003 Topics in Biosciences 101 I BBS2006 Plant Science 101 I SCE1101N Chemistry A 101 I SCE1201N Mathematics 1A 101 I SCE1301N Physics A 101 I SCE2417 Life, the University & Everything 10Students commencing MID YEAR need to select from the following subjects:In Semester II, students must complete:1 II BBS1007 Biochemistry 101 II BBS1008 Biological Chemistry 10AND at least three of the following subjects:1 II BBS1002 Cell and Molecular Biology 101 II SCE11026N ChemistryB 101 II SCE1210N Mathematics and Computing 101 II SCE1212N Statistics and Computing 101 II SCE1306N Physics B 101 II SCE1406N Science, Technology and Society 101 II SCE1306N Physics B 10

# Students should refer to course enrolment advice to ensure appropriate selection of courses to meetpre-requisite requirements for second and third year courses and the Majors.


16.4 The Academic Committee noted that the changes proposed above will also apply to SCN102Bachelor of Science (Advanced Studies).

16.5 In considering the submission (01/0280), the Academic Committee noted the following issues:

• the Chairperson, Academic Committee advised that he had received a number of lettersfrom staff of the School of Science raising concerns over the proposed changes to theBachelor of Science. In particular, concern had been expressed over the perceived shiftin emphasis from a general Science degree towards a specialist Science degree, and theeffects this shift would have on the budget of the School of Science.

The Dean, Faculty of Science advised that the academic integrity of the Bachelor ofScience degree had been maintained, although it would no longer be compulsory forstudents to undertake courses in areas such as physics, chemistry or maths in the firstyear of the program. The Academic Committee noted that the revised program wasdesigned to allow students a greater degree of choice in course selection.

• students needed to be provided with clear and accurate advice on the various pathwaysavailable in the revised Bachelor of Science structure. In particular, specific requirementsfor double degree programs, such as the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education(Secondary), should be clearly articulated to students. Members noted that in order forpotential and current students to be provided with accurate information in a timely manner,program submissions needed to be forwarded for consideration by Academic Committeewell in advance of the new programs/revised programs being offered. Particularly for largegeneral degrees such as the BSc, BA, BComn or BBus, changes to these programsgenerated consequential changes for many other specialist programs and combineddegrees. The lateness of decisions about changes to the core programs causedsignificant problems for the management of the related degrees.

Resolution

16.6 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Education Committee (6/2001meeting), resolved to recommend to the Council that the major changes to the Bachelor ofScience, as described in (01/0280), be approved for introduction in Semester 1, 2002.
