Of particular note is the relationship which is now being developed between ATEM and the Australian Vice-Chancellor’s Committee. I had the pleasure of meeting with John Mullarvey (CEO of AVCC) in Canberra early in 2004 to explore the possibility of greater complementarity and cooperation between ATEM and AVCC in professional development. 1 Association for Tertiary Education Management Inc ANNUAL REPORT 2003–2004 Those discussions have moved forward well and The year under review has been a busy but quickly, and although this is outside the period successful year, and much has been achieved. of this Annual Report, I am pleased to say that I need to pay special tribute to my predecessor at the May meeting of the ATEM Council, John as President, Maree Conway, who initiated Mullarvey and Susan Scott from AVCC worked much of the discussion and provided her own with the ATEM Executive to identify areas of intellectual input into the development of ATEM cooperation and mutual benefit. In particular, as a professional association.

Through my role at the Tom Gregg University of Canterbury, I was invited to attend President, ATEM Inc. the AVCC Senior Administrative Staff seminar in Cairns in July 2004. As a follow-up to the good progress made with AVCC in May, I was also invited to speak to a session of the Seminar on the changes and developments in ATEM, and to seek the support and involvement of those senior staff in the operation and development of ATEM. That input was well received. I anticipate that the ongoing support of leading tertiary managers, and the support of those institutions which are Corporate Members, will both help to maintain our strong momentum. 2 Association for Tertiary Education Management Inc ANNUAL REPORT 2003–2004 HIGHLIGHTS ATEM’S STRUCTURE AND Preliminary discussions were held with the FUNCTION AVCC Executive Director John Mullarvey A referendum of Members in March 2004, the and the Director of Training Susan Scott. first which was run electronically on the website, This initiative will prove to be significant received an overwhelming positive response with to ATEM, and will be reported in full in the a large majority of the voting members endorsing next reporting year. the changes proposed by Council.

  • Rban Aborigines
    RBAN ABORIGINES guFay Gälc assisted by Alison Brookman brt This book concerns the re-entry of Aborigines into Australian life—specifically the life of urban Adelaide—after generations of restriction to isolated rural areas. Aborigines are moving into Australian cities in increasing numbers—in 1957 one in sixteen of South Australia’s Aborigines lived in Adelaide, by 1966 one in four did so. Some adjust easily to city life, others face seemingly insoluble problems of housing and employment, social tensions, health and welfare, education and law. Often their experience on reserves and the fringes of small towns has in no way prepared them for urban life. The physical confrontation involved in this re-entry is already leading to legislative and social changes for Aborigines. It is beginning to arouse public conscience about Aboriginal conditions, and the voice of the Aboriginal is beginning to be heard. This study is a representative picture of Aborigines in Australian cities today, and it speaks for the future of Australia, black and white. This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy.
