AGENDA- PART I

Official Information Act 1982 and Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987

Massey University (including its Council) is subject to the Official Information Act 1982. This means that if a specific request for disclosure is made, information that it holds must be disclosed unless non-disclosure can be justified in the terms of the Official Information Act 1982.

Matters that are included in Part II and most matters in the Finance Section of Council (or Committee) meetings are protected from disclosure under the Official Information Act 1982. That is, non-disclosure of information relating to such matters can usually be justified in terms of the Official Information Act 1982. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that papers relating to Part II or Finance Section matters are not seen outside Council (or its relevant Committee) and that such matters are not mentioned outside Council (or its relevant Committee).

All requests (whether written or oral) by any person who is not a Council member for information included under Part II or the Finance Section of Council (or Committee) meetings and requests for the minutes of those parts of Council (or Committee) meetings must be referred immediately to the Registrar for decision on disclosure or otherwise. Individual members are advised not to disclose Part II or Finance Section matters.

Interest: Declaration and Disqualification

In accordance with the Education Act 1989 members are reminded that if they have any direct or indirect pecuniary interest (including their conditions of service as the Chief Executive or as a member of the staff of the institution) in a matter being considered or about to be considered by the Council (or Committee) then as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to their knowledge they:

VICE-CHANCELLOR’S OFFICE

To: Members of Council

From: Vice-Chancellor

Date: 23 February 2015

Subject: Vice-Chancellor’s Part I Report to Council Period: mid-November 2014 to mid-February 2015

Purpose: This report is presented to update Council on key achievements, highlights and major issues arising over the period mid-November 2014 to mid-February 2015 and also seeks to give Council a flavour of the breadth and depth of University–associated activities. The report gathers together strategic items provided by college and service lines, the Vice-Chancellor’s elog and diary. Further detail is provided in the appendices to this report.

1.0 Ngā Take o te Wā Topical Issues

1.1 Student Enrolments and Funding As mentioned in my last report, for the first time since 2010, the Tertiary Education Commission has signalled it will support growth in our student numbers, but it is up to us to recruit those students if we are to receive the extra funding on offer.

Our marketing campaign has been building since last year and recruitment staff have been extremely active, including a new initiative of running enrolment evenings at Albany (October). While there are positive signs both domestically and internationally, it is very important that everyone involved with recruitment and enrolment ensure interested students do join the University. A number of interesting new approaches are being tried such as academic staff phoning students to talk through their study programme. Thank you to all involved. Details of the changes to the enrolment process are available on the Massey intranet Staffroom News “Enrolments open with improvements to the system”. Please also refer to item 2.2 below.

1.2 General Election 2014 In my last report I thanked staff who had been particularly active either in providing commentating or providing information and encouraging people to vote in the election, including the staff and students involved with the On the Fence project.

It was therefore interesting to note that, a Horizon Research survey of voting behaviour at last September’s election showed that On The Fence was the most effective initiative focused on increasing youth voter turnout. The survey, which had a margin of error of three per cent, showed that 33.500 eligible voters aged 18-34 were aware of the Virgin Voter

Page 1 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

Collective campaign with 31.7 per cent of them (or 10,619) influenced to vote by On The Fence.

On the Fence was itself an umbrella initiative devised by the Design and Democracy Project led by Massey design lecturer Karl Kane. Master of Design graduate Kieran Stowers developed On The Fence from a prototype he designed for the 2011 General Election with fellow students in an undergraduate paper.

2.0 Ngā Tino Take me ngā Mahere Rautaki Key Strategic Issues and Positioning

2.1 2014: The Year in Review Let me thank everyone for their contribution to a successful 2014.

An enormous amount was been accomplished so it is difficult to summarise it in a few words. Perhaps we will remember 2014 most because it was our 50th Anniversary as a University – we are now one of the established universities of the world. Great universities are very conscious of what their history is so we will have to ensure we continue to tell the story of Massey. This will be helped in the year ahead by such things as the opening of the refurbished and earthquake-proofed Sir Geoffrey Peren Building as well as the book being written on Massey by Professor Michael Belgrave, School of Humanities. Dr Belgrave spoke about his research at events on all campuses during the year and what he had to say was wonderfully interesting.

Looking back over not only Massey’s history, but that of higher education from the standpoint of 2014 alerts us that much has changed – and that much is going to change. There is a widely held view that higher education is going to face considerable disruption over the next 10 to 20 years. I share that view. As we contemplate 2015, then, it is vital that we position ourselves for change. As a “bold, innovative, can do” university we have established a track record of leading the way. Let’s continue that record.

As the year drew to a close, confirmation of our achievements came in the form of QS Five Stars, a THES ranking in the top 100 of universities under 50 (refer to item 2.5 below for further details) and numerous awards for staff and students, some of which are featured in this report. A lot of work lies behind this achievement – thank you to all involved.

During the heritage year, arts committees on all campuses have been busy organising commissions from major New Zealand artists. Sculptures have been unveiled on all campuses (please refer to Appendix I for further details). The intention was to ensure that an enduring legacy was left behind as our 50th Anniversary year drew to a close.

Massey University staff were all over the media during the year. In December it was great to see Associate Professor Bobby Hunter, Institute of Education, talking about the teaching of mathematics and staff from the Riddet Institute talking about working with Landcorp to produce sheep milk on TVNZ News.

2.2 2015: The Year Ahead Thank you to the many staff who have been busy over the summer break. Judging from the amount of media coverage over summer and activity throughout January, the year got into its stride very quickly.

Enrolment is very much the focus at the moment. The signs are positive but we will not know the full picture until early March. Until then it is vital to do all we can to ensure students who want to join Massey for 2015 do so.

So what is 2015 going to be all about? As always there is the ongoing work that needs to be done. But as the University moves forward we need to be thinking about how to ensure what we do is strategically focused and any new activities position us for the future.

Page 2 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

Given that in 2014 we celebrated where we have come from, it seems appropriate that, consistent with our aim to lead the way in higher education and research, in 2015 we look to the future. What will happen in the “Next 50 years”?

The short answer is – a lot. The world of universities is changing rapidly and we have set ourselves the goal of staying ahead of the curve.

Although trying to anticipate the future is always a difficult task, we can see a number of trends that seem set to continue to shape what universities will do and be expected to do.

Last year the University invited Professor Jim Barber to talk to senior staff at the Manawatū campus about the likely trends in education. He argued that the major trends (largely driven by new technology) would see education becoming individualised, co-operative, mobile, networked, competitive, affordable and diverse. It was a stimulating session that can be found under “useful links” on the Office of Strategy and Research’s website titled Commercial and pedagogical trends in higher education. (http://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/staffroom/national-shared-services/strategy-and- research/strategy-and-research.cfm)

The University’s strategy, The Road to 2025 (also available via the Strategy and Research website above), captures these ideas and many of the others that are being debated. • We are setting a clear and distinct direction for the University; • While encouraging excellence in all research, staff are looking to identify the key strengths of the University; • We have promoted an enterprising approach through commercialisation of ideas and partnerships with a wide range of organisations and businesses; • We are moving steadily toward a student centred, inquiry approach to learning; • Our ability to provide opportunities that meet the needs of learners who want something other than the usual qualifications is developing fast; • We are ensuring the employability of our graduates; • The University is a leader in international education and is developing its Worldwide offer; • We are developing innovative ways of being engaged and connected with the wider community; • The knowledge and skill of the University is being made available to those who need it and we have been identifying global challenges we can help resolve; • As the financial contribution from Government declines, we have been careful with our management of resources while seeking ways to diversify our funding base; • The University has been working hard to ensure staff have the support they need to achieve excellence; • Support for students, from the time they first contact the University through until they graduate, has been increased; • Significant new resources have been invested in IT; • Capital works (including seismic strengthening) have been under way on all campuses; • We have encouraged a greater focus on Māori and Pasifika; • New migrant communities, particularly in Auckland have been a focus; • While the “one university” approach has been encouraged, each campus has been developing its own “personality” – Wellington: Specialist and Creative, Manawatū: Comprehensive, Agrifoodbusiness and Distance, Albany: Comprehensive, Innovation and International.

This is a long list, as befits a complex organisation like Massey. There is of course even more that could be mentioned. No matter how long the list, everything we do contributes to our effort to help shape the future of New Zealand and take the best of the nation to the world.

There is no doubt that over the past few years Massey has been recognised for its creative, innovative and connected approach. Staff and students are constantly in the news because Massey is seen to be important and relevant.

C 15/03 - March Part I

Over the coming year we need to drive our strategy forward with an eye on the future. Universities are going to continue to change and we need to ensure we are defining what it is we want to be.

During my time at Massey I have been impressed by the willingness of staff and students to get behind the effort to ensure that Massey continues to be known for the difference it makes to New Zealand and the world.

No matter what role each of us plays in the University, we have a contribution to make. All the best for 2015 (and the next 50 years!). I will doing my best to meet and talk with as many staff as possible during the year – but feel free to contact me at any time if I can assist with your plans.

2.3 Annual Plan 2015 The Annual Plan 2015 was submitted to the December meeting of Council. The plan has been created in two parts: part one identifies the major strategic initiatives to progress in 2015; part two is the workplan, ie all initiatives put forward by Assistant Vice-Chancellors and Pro Vice-Chancellors 2015.

2.4 Senior Leadership Team Planning The SLT met in December for the last of its three annual planning days. The focus was on agrifoodbusiness and “anytime, anywhere learning”. Thanks to Professor Robert Anderson, Professor Claire Massey, Mark Ward, Pro Chancellor Michael Ahie, Graeme Smith of Federated Farmers and Professor Brigid Heywood for leading the discussions. Thanks also to the many staff who joined the SLT for the day. Information presented can be found under “useful links” on the Office of Strategy and Research’s website is available on the Office of Strategy and Research’s website http://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/staffroom/national- shared-services/strategy-and-research/strategy-and-research.cfm)

Professor Ray Geor, College of Sciences Pro Vice-Chancellor-designate, who will join the University in April, was at the Manawatū campus at the time and he was with the SLT for the planning day.

2.5 QS Stars  In 2014, Massey University undertook its second QS Stars audit. The QS Stars system evaluates universities against a range of performance indicators based on a rating method. The ratings are not dependent on the performance of other institutions, but relate to an individual institution’s performance, which is measured against pre-set thresholds. It awards Stars to an institution according to a range of criteria including Research, Teaching and Learning, Internationalisation, Employability, Facilities, Online/Distance, Subject Specialisations, Innovation and Engagement.

Massey University obtained excellent results in the 2014 audit. It has been granted an overall five-star status, with five stars in every single category assessed by the audit. This represents progress in comparison to the 2011 audit, when Massey University had an overall four -star rating.

This was great news. Thanks to the staff who have worked long and hard on preparing information for QS – excellent result.

3.0 Te Rangahau me te Tohungatanga Research and Scholarship

3.1 Research and Enterprise update

Activities over the reporting period include: • The end of year transition period has been very busy, with major deadlines for key external funding bids demanding effort across all sections of the research community.

Page 4 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

• Massey staff at all levels are involved in some mode in each of the 11 National Science Challenges with significant effort devoted to governance, science plan development and community engagement. All have presented to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Science Board and many have received establishment funding to develop their proposals further. • The competitive 2014 Centre of Research Excellence funding round was also a key priority for groups that were re-bidding (Riddet, Allan Wilson) and preparing new bids (PlantNZ). We are also contributors to several other national CoREs, including the BioProtection CoRE, the partners of which have confirmed their commitment to the current bid. Staff involved in this CoRE seem very positive about a good outcome. • Submissions were due in December and feedback was provided for comment in late January 2015; decisions are due in April. • Other funding focuses have been the SMART Ideas programme from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (more than 30 new bids were submitted) and the preparations for the Marsden 2015. • The process of moving all doctoral applications to a unified online process has been completed and 2015 recruitment of Massey Doctoral Scholarships is well advanced. Completion statistics for higher research degrees (PhDs) at year end continued to improve. • The impact of the regional business development managers is noted, with key successes in securing collaborative funding for projects with regional business partners, the most significant of which was the funding released from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment for three Vision Matauranga projects in Taranaki. • The commitment of the National Director for Business Development and Commercialisation to supporting FoodHQ has been noted, with key new projects emerging around investment in student projects (Proliant) and new contracts for research (eg Butternut Squash). • The launch of a new spin-out company Consumer Insights Ltd, and second stage investment was secured for Biolumic is also to be noted as the closing actions of 2014 for Massey Ventures Ltd, which contributed more than $1 million to the consolidated budgets from licensing and revenue in 2014. • Student enterprise also found a new voice with Wellington-based student start up (Refold) securing investment through crowd funding. • In February, Information Technology Services and Research and Enterprise organised an event for academic researchers and postgraduate students who wish to learn how to conduct their research on a highly scalable and flexible cloud infrastructure, such as that offered by Windows Azure. Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed datacentres. The training was delivered by a Microsoft trainer

I would to make special mention of a number of recent exceptional achievements:

3.2 In November, Distinguished Professor Peter Schwerdtfeger, New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study, was the recipient of New Zealand’s preeminent research honour – the Rutherford Medal. The Royal Society of New Zealand’s most prestigious science award, the medal not only confirms Professor Schwerdtfeger as New Zealand’s leading researcher, it also shines a light on Massey University as a leading research institution. I know everyone will join me in congratulating him.

It is worth noting that Professor Schwerdtfeger is the seventh Massey University research scholar to receive the Rutherford Medal. This is very significant, given that the Rutherford has been awarded only 10 times. Please refer to Appendix II for further details.

3.3 Congratulations to the 2014 University Research Medal winners who have just been announced. Please refer to Appendix III for further details. Page 5 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

3.4 Professor Harald van Heerde, School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, has been rated 11th equal in the world for marketing research by the American Marketing Association, the only researcher from Australasia to make the report’s top 50. Please refer to Appendix IV for further details.

3.5 Professor Emeritus Roger Morris, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences, was the first scientist from outside North America to be honoured at the prestigious Schwabe Symposium for global disease control in Chigaco. Recognising his work on globally important diseases such as bird flu and Mad Cow Disease, and also on New Zealand problems such as bovine tuberculosis. Please refer to Appendix V for further details.

3.6 Professor Malcolm Wright, College of Business, was made a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy. Please refer to Appendix VI for further details.

For further highlights on our outstanding staff, students and alumni please refer to section 5.0 Celebrating Excellence – Awards and Recognition, below.

3.9 Big Issues in Business In my last report I mentioned that the Massey Business School and External Relations had recently produced a series of Big Issues in Business videos to promote Massey’s business research and expertise.

A dedicated web page has been set up to host the videos and the series can be found on the Massey University YouTube channel “Big Issues in Business”. The videos in the series so far are: • Professor Sarah Leberman, School of Management, on women in leadership • Professor Harald van Heerde, School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, on marketing return on investment • Professor Jane Parker, School of Management, on the living wage • Professor Lorraine Warren, School of Management, on innovation and entrepreneurship • Professor Jarrod Haar, School of Management, on diversity management • Associate Professor Sasha Molchanov, School of Economics and Finance, on political risk and exporting.

3.10 The Pacific Research and Policy Centre was launched on November 19 at the Manawatū campus. The centre will be an important “clearing house” for Pacific research, acting as repository, hub and promoter of Pacific research and scholarship. The centre was launched at the Pasifika@Massey 7th Annual Research Conference. This is an important milestone. The University has great strength in this area. I will be meeting with the Minister for Pacific Peoples, Peseta Lotu-liga, in the near future to discuss the work of the centre among other matters.

3.11 A University forum consisting of the Research Development Coordinator, Librarians, and other postgraduate learning consultants across all three campuses was held regarding the planning of the PhD programme for 2015

3.12 The College of Business PhD Symposiums held on November 11 and 13 in Albany and Palmerston North were resounding successes with the students. A total of 50 PhD Candidates presented their research in either posters, parallel or plenary sessions.

4.1 Academic and Teaching and Learning update

Activities over the reporting period include: • Completed review of New Zealand Quality Assurance Audit cycle-five audit report and development of responsive plan to address recommendations. • Launch of second stage of Academic Standing and associated implementation of new academic regulations for student exclusion as part of managing performance. • Infrastructure development of Wellington and Manawatū library facilities ongoing with new focus on providing a richer “learning commons” experience for our students. • Campus Learning and Teaching Centres and Student Success Unit have been integrated into a reformed National Centre for Teaching and Learning. Duncan O’Hara has been appointed to the role of Director of the centre from a competitive short list. • New Director of Ethics Dr Brian Finch has been appointed 2015 – 2017. A key focus for 2014 has been the introduction of online low risk notifications; early audit responses show good compliance. • Discussions around a new Code of Conduct for Students are now advancing to wider consultation. • Academic copyright and licensing discussions continue at the national level with further notifications of a likely fee increase (per capita) and new reporting requirements being advanced as part of negotiations. • Online provision and the enhancement of our web-based provision to support blended and distance education is being profiled by the National Centre for Teaching and Learning and plans from colleges are emerging with new initiatives from the College of Business and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. • Work to develop the Academic Design Authority, which will underpin the new student management system has been progressed to determine the terms of reference and outline a working brief. The majority of colleges and affected units have nominated their liaison lead for this initiative.

4.2 This year's Design and Business (Live Brief) paper (222.382), taught by Anna Brown and Karl Kane, School of Design, was a resounding success. The paper had 185 students and nine clients including New Zealand Post, Livestock Improvement Corporate, Sport Wellington, Wellington District Health Board, Wellington City Council, Upper Hutt City Library and Polio New Zealand. The strategic thinking and design leadership shown by the students was outstanding and many of the projects will be implemented over the next year. As one client responded — "Let me express my utter amazement and gratitude to the course, and to Massey, first of all, for the opportunity to participate as a client in the paper. And to the students! Holy macaroni!" — Dion Howard, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, Capital and Coast District Health Board.

4.3 The College of Creative Arts launched the expression of interest for its new rapid incubation programme for recent graduates that will run for the first time in March 2015. SPRING will support graduates leaving the college who have aspirations to work more entrepreneurially and develop ideas from their final major project into a commercially viable project. The aim of SPRING, which is a flexible 3-6 month programme, is to enable students to build their Page 7 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

creative idea into a viable proposition that is ready for the marketplace, further incubation or startup.

The development of SPRING is kindly supported by Massey University’s Strategic Innovation Fund, the College of Creative Arts, Grow Wellington, Wellington City Council, BCC, Creative HQ, Toi Poneke, Biz Dojo and Angel HQ.

4.4 Dr Max Schleser, School of Design, established connections with the New Zealand Game Developers Association, which resulted in the listing of Creative Media Production as a New Zealand training institution offering game development http://www.nzgda.com/career/training- institutes/

4.5 Nine “paper trailer” videos were produced by the College of Creative Artsto give prospective students an introduction into the nine core studio papers offered in the first year of the design and fine arts degrees. Plans to expand this suite of paper trailers are underway. The videos can be seen at: http://creative.massey.ac.nz/study/undergraduate-programmes/undergraduate-p

4.6 Accreditations We have received official confirmation from the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand that we have been successful in gaining provisional accreditation (new curriculum) and accreditation extensions (existing curriculum) for the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) and Bachelor of Food Technology (Hons). Thank you to the School of Engineering and Advanced Technology staff involved for their huge effort.

5.0 Te Whakanui Hiranga– Ngā Tohu Whakamānawa Celebrating Excellence – Awards and Recognition

5.1 2015 New Year’s Honours Congratulations to the group of Massey staff and alumni who received recognition for their services in the New Year’s Honours. Please refer to Appendix IX for further details.

5.2 Honorary Doctorate conferred on the First Lady of China In my last report to Council I briefly mentioned and provided the Massey News coverage of the conferring of an Honorary Doctorate on Madam Peng Liyuan, the First Lady of China, which had just taken place (November 20). This was of great significance.

The University conferred the degree of Doctor of Literature (Honoris Causa) in recognition of her domestic and international contributions to the performing arts, and global health and education issues. Sir Richard Taylor was the orator. The conferment, in Wellington, was attended by a select group of Chinese and New Zealand VIPs (including a delegation of senior officials from the Chinese Ministry of Education and China Scholarship Council) together with key Massey staff and student representatives engaged in China partnership programmes. In her own remarks, Madam Peng referred to Massey as “the leading university in New Zealand”. After the conferral, Madam Peng visited the College of Creative Arts Exposure exhibition and discussed several works with students and College Pro Vice- Chancellor Professor Claire Robinson.

This event has dramatically increased the awareness of Massey University among Chinese people. Massey University has the highest profile of all New Zealand universities operating in China – something Madam Peng reinforced when she noted we were the nation’s “leading university”. Her huge popularity in China meant that the announcement of the Honorary Doctorate attracted the attention of tens of millions of people.

Being involved in the activities of one of the most powerful people in the world is very demanding. Thank you to Assistant Vice-Chancellor Operations, International and University Registrar Stuart Morriss and the many staff and students who were involved in the visit from Madam Peng. Massey and New Zealand gained a great deal from what was an impressive event.

6.0 Te Kōtuitui me Te Aronga Manaakitanga Connections and Responsibility

6.1 Regional connections The University has developed an important role as a “thought leader/facilitator” for the regions around our campuses. This is becoming a significant part of what Massey University has to offer its partners. The University is involved in meetings focused on future development. In Auckland the focus is innovation, in Manawatū it is agrifoodbusiness and distance education while in Wellington creativity has taken centre stage.

6.1.1 In November the University hosted a very significant group of Wellingtonians at the College of Creative Arts to discuss how to promote the connection between creativity and IT. Thanks in particular to Associate Professors Chris Bennewith and Anna Brown along with Simon Mark.

6.1.2 Te Whare Hēra Wellington International Artist in Residence programme, a collaboration between the Massey University School of Art and the Wellington City Council launched with the inaugural artist-in-residence Christian Thompson. School of Art staff involved included: Associate Professor Ann Shelton, residency coordinator, school manager Heike Ulrich, Associate Professor Heather Galbraith, Lauren Redican, Jane Wilcox, Mike Heynes and Ilka Kapica.

6.1.3 The annual forum with the Palmerston North City Council in November was very productive. It not only showcased the many projects under way but allowed a wide-ranging discussion on what else might be done. The city will have a new mayor by February following the election of Jono Naylor to Parliament.

6.1.4 Two Future NZ events were in November – in Auckland and Wellington. This year the focus was the implications of population change. Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley was the key note speaker. Feedback has been very positive. A Future NZ magazine produced in partnership with the NZ Herald was also published. These events and the magazine are part Page 13 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

of the effort to help New Zealanders understand and respond to the major social, economic, technological, cultural, environmental and political changes that are taking place.

6.2 Māori, Pasifika and New Migrants update

6.2.1 The three strands of the office – Māori, Pasifika, and New Migrants - have continued to invest in activities designed to promote the University within our respective communities. A number of highlights can be noted.

Māori • Managed the submission of the first two stages of the tender process – the Expression of Interest, and the Pre-Proposal – for the Māori Centre of Research Excellence (2015- 2020) by the southern consortium of five universities and a whare wānanga. • Following the Massey-sponsored Te Pae Roa conference held at the Albany campus on September 3-4, video presentations, providing a valuable archive of leaders who were influential in progressing Māori development, have been uploaded to the website, tepaeroa2040.co.nz. A written record of the conference proceedings is also to be published in early 2015.

Pasifika • Links continue to be forged with key stakeholders such as Robert Zaagman, the Ambassador of the Netherlands to New Zealand, on November 7 at the Albany campus. The discussion was wide-ranging but with an agreement that the Dutch would financially support the Human Rights in the Pacific Conference (December 8-10) including interest in supporting Massey research around water issues in the Pacific. • In a first for Massey, the director Pasifika Dr Koloamatangi Malakai, was invited to facilitate and judge a major political debate on the future direction of Tonga’s democratic reforms. The panel, which comprised the major thinkers and movers within the Tongan community in New Zealand was held on November 4, which was also the occasion of Tonga’s celebration of its constitution’s 139th year. The celebration will be an annual event and there is opportunity for continued involvement by Massey. • The Pacific Research and Policy Centre, which was launched at the Manawatū campus on November 18. This is an important initiative for Massey as it aims to encourage, facilitate and coordinate Pacific/Pasifika research. There is great anticipation for the centre as one of its objectives is to link research and its practical application. (Also mentioned in item 3.10 above).

New Migrants • A new migrants strategic framework, embracing the diversity of Massey University and its communities, is under development.

6.2.2 Massey University has been selected as the preferred proposer for the Request for Proposal: Services to transform basic education on Tokelau assignment, subject to other conditions to check and fulfil. This is “Enabling Excellence” for and at Massey University while serving another Pasifika Island, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Dr Lesieli MacIntyre, Pasifika Directorate, is a member of the team that responded to the bid.

6.2.3 The Director Māori was appointed as chair of the Whanau Independent Panel that will assess responses to the North Island Whanau Ora Commissioning Agency funding applications.

6.2.4 The Director Pasifika was invited to sit on the selection panel of the National Project Fund for Ako Aotearoa. It was not only a good opportunity to keep abreast of current research and thinking in advancing Pasifika learning outcomes it was an opportunity to ensure that understanding of fundable projects is current.

6.2.5 As noted below in item 6.10, Massey University lost a respected and influential alumnus in early February, with the death of Ngāti Porou leader Dr Apirana Mahuika. Dr Mahuika made a big contribution to the development of what is now known as Te Pūtahi-a-Toi, Massey’s School of Māori Art, Knowledge and Education. He was a lecturer in Education in the 1970s and then worked in an advisory capacity to assist in the establishment of the school. He Page 14 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

remained a long-term friend and supporter of the University. A contingent of staff travelled to his tangi in Tikitiki to pay their respects.

6.3 Agrifood update

6.3.1 The FoodHQ Board met in December to reflect on a successful year and look forward to a step up in activity this year. There is no doubt that Massey and FoodHQ have secured leadership roles in the area of food.

6.3.2 Te Puna Whakatipu – Transforming Agrifood Business All activity of the Te Puna Whakatipu team is related to implementing the Massey Agrifood Business Strategy (launched in December 2012). This means supporting the university's core business in relation to agrifood business (eg teaching programmes and strategic initiatives such as FoodHQ) as well as identifying new strategic projects where there is the potential to generate new revenue for the University through a set of inter-related activities with regions, organisations and individuals and/or demonstrate thought leadership in the agrifood space.

During the reporting period the Te Puna directors continued to deliver on current projects (including those funded internally as well as those funded externally) while also looking to develop new funding streams. Specific activities during this period include:

• A Ministry of Primary Industries-funded project to deliver food safety training to a cohort from the Chinese Food and Drug Administration. The cohort of five participants visited New Zealand for a three-month intensive course – delivered in partnership with AsureQuality, Plant and Food Research and AgResearch. The participants were delighted to be invited to the ceremony for Madame Peng, which coincided with their stay. (Please refer to item 5.2 above). • Work continues with the firms that make up the Marlborough Food and Beverage Innovation Cluster. A review of economic development activities for the Marlborough District Council has been completed. • In line with Te Puna’s Workstream around regional engagement, staff attended a meeting with Taranaki. The challenge is how best to support the university’s business development manager in the region in a way that is consistent with its specific challenges. • The Te Puna team was involved in facilitating the Manawatū AgriFood Forum day which was organised under the umbrella of FoodHQ. The presentation by guest speaker Roger van Hoesel (from the Food Valley in the Netherlands) stimulated a lot of discussion and currently the focus is on how best to take the planned actions forward. • Work continues to support the FoodHQ board and chair and also play a role in different work streams attached to FoodHQ. A business development plan is also under way. • A cross-university team is delivering a set of inter-related projects for the Livestock Improvement Corporation. A master agreement has been drafted to cover all existing and potential activities. • With the completion of the dairy futures project undertaken for NZX, work has started on drafting a Master Agreement which will make it easier for Massey to maintain and develop a long-term relationship with NZX. • During the visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise organised an agri-tech expo at the Karaka Sales Complex. This was an invitation-only event with 12 or so exhibitors selected to demonstrate the best of New Zealand’s capability. The Massey team (made up of Professor Claire Massey, Professor Hugh Blair and Associate Professor Henry Chung, School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing) represented the University and External Relations provided support. A number of useful conversations occurred with other exhibitors (eg Fonterra, LIC and PGG Wrightson) that made the investment worthwhile.

Page 15 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

• The focus of the Global Food Safety Partnership has been on the annual meeting in South Africa that was held in December and on finalising the scope of the work for this year. • Coordinating teams for applications to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade under the International Development Fund. We are now involved in a bid for a long-term project in East Indonesia and the University’s Steering Group has met to develop a long term strategy to maximise the potential of our existing international partnerships and relationships. • Support for international visits. One of the most important was that from the Mohammed Polytechnic University in Morocco. This is a new university and is very keen to access our capability in agrifood business. • The Te Puna team also delivers on its objective of “transforming agrifood business” by providing leadership to, and support for, other teams and/or initiatives across the university. The main activity here is through the cross-university Agrifood Business portfolio, included the coordination of the University’s Agrifood Business Leader’s forum, chairing of the Steering Group for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Agricultural Services Panel, liaison with key partner organisations such as Fonterra and participation in University events relevant to agrifood and supports internal project teams.

Other activities, in addition to those above, include: • Projects The team was directly engaged in the Global Food Safety Partnership; the China Food and Drug Administration scholarship programme, and the New Zealand Food Safety Science and Research Centre (NZFSSSRC). • Emerging Projects There are several emerging projects where discussions are starting or continuing. • Relationship building Main interactions (outside those relating to FoodHQ or the NZFSSSRC) have been with Fonterra, DairyNZ and Fairfax. • Events In keeping with its overall purpose, Te Puna plays a role in events where agrifood and business overlap and/or supports other academic units to undertake events where a cross-disciplinary approach is important. Te Puna has hosted a visit from a delegation from LEADelaware; supported the Ewe Can Conference; facilitated the visit of Professor Aalt Dijkhuizen (President of Topsector Agriculture and Food Netherlands), and has begun organising one of the events for the Big Issues in Business series (on Food, Safety). Internal events include coordinating the University’s Agrifood Business Leader’s forum, and other meetings that relate to building an effective cohort of leaders across the university capable of responding to the opportunities that are emerging in agrifood business.

6.4 Sustainability update The focus over the reporting period has been reporting on the Consolidating Sustainability project and supporting projects with links to Massey’s Sustainability goals, including the following activities: • The project officer has consulted with Geoff Bennett (Energy and Technical Services) in the development of an Energy Management Strategy for the University. • Work has been undertaken at a strategic level to advance Project Dairy 1 as a living research farm for socially responsible and environmentally sustainable dairying, with the clarification of project governance and roles, vision and scope. • The “Sharing the Waiwhakaiho” Living Lab project launched a website and video at Puke Ariki, Taranaki on February 8. The project is looking to engage community and creatively reinterpret social and scientific data to address sustainability at Waiwhakaiho River. The intended impact of this work is to contribute to Massey’s sustainability goals, promote the Living Lab approach as a way of addressing complex issues, establish excellent collaborative relationships with internal and external partners and generate new opportunities for sustainability research. Please refer to Appendix XI for further details. • A final report on the Consolidating Sustainability Strategic Innovations Fund project was sent to the Senior Leadership Team for noting progress on various activities. Page 16 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

Recommendations were suggested for developing a plan for future oversight of the sustainability platform in operational, academic and engagement terms.

6.5 Creativity Update

6.5.1 Creative Capital Roundtable In November I hosted a roundtable discussion in Te Ara Hihiko on Wellington’s future as the world’s most creative high-tech start-up city.

C 15/03 - March Part I

a Fashion film forum targeting current world issues and a meet up called Cross Banter https://www.behance.net/gallery/21345731/Cross-Banter. This free networking event successfully connected cross-year and cross-discipline peers in the School of Design, enabling students to meet both graduates and other current students to share ideas, experiences, and learn from each other. Eight graduate speakers talked about their own experiences of fourth year and life beyond, giving uncensored insights into the transition from university into the design industry.

6.6.19 College of Creative Arts staff and students also hosted an extremely successful Open House for industry on 11 November, attended by more than 250 stakeholders. Many of our partners and industry connections had come with the explicit purpose of finding the right candidate to join their agency/enterprise.

6.7 Alumni update

6.7.1 I very much enjoyed meeting with Massey distinguished alumni in December. The University is building a very important community of former staff and students through its Defining Excellence Awards each year.

7.0 Te Ao Whānui Internationalisation

7.1 Massey University’s social media accounts were recently "mystery shopped” by international education industry market intelligence website ICEF Monitor and received a favourable report. Inquiries were received via our main Massey Facebook and Twitter accounts by a fictitious prospective international student, who said: “I’m so excited to study abroad! Please direct me to more information about your international student opportunities” (on Facebook) and (on Twitter) “Please tell me more about your international student opportunities. I am eager to learn more! Thanks!”. Massey External Relations staff responded promptly to both messages, directing the prospective student on Facebook to the International Office website and advising that @MasseyIntOffice will be in touch. From our International Twitter account the “student” was thanked for their interest and asked what area they were interested in. The prompt responses were reported favourably by the ICEF Monitor, whose report may be read here: http://monitor.icef.com/2014/12/mystery-shopping-experiment-social-media-anybody/

9.6 Vice-Chancellor All Staff Forums

9.6.1 End-of-Year All Staff meetings My end-of-year staff meetings were held in Auckland, Wellington and Manawatū during November. Thank you to the staff who attended. It has been a very busy and challenging year but a great deal has been achieved. These meetings are an opportunity for us to review what has been happening around the University over the past year and to discuss the year ahead. Thank you to each and every member of staff for their contribution. A short video capturing some of the media highlights of the year was shown at the meetings and can be found here: http://youtu.be/CHcWZtTuAlE.

9.6.2 Beginning-of-Year All Staff meetings Note for diaries – All staff meetings will be held on all campuses as usual.

Manawatū Tuesday March 10 12-1pm Japan Lecture Theatre Wellington Thursday March 12 12-1pm 4B06 Albany Friday March 13 12-1pm Sir Neil Waters LT300

9.7 The three-year Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) project has been successfully completed, with the system “Go Live” occurring on December 15. The EDRMS system is strategically aligned with the University goals and acts as the new digital workplace for the University. OneMassey Collaboration Sites (Committees, projects and teams) can now be ordered through the ITS Services Catalogue so that staff can begin to take advantage of its collaborative smarts and potential for business efficiencies. The post- project roll-out and deployment of the EDRMS functionality will begin from 2015 onwards. Massey University is at the forefront of the EDRMS space, and this new solution will provide the University with a sound records and information management foundation for supporting legislative compliance, improved efficiencies and organisational resilience.

9.8 A new facility within CareerHUb (which is currently waiting to be rolled out) will mean that all students will be signed up automatically. This is intended to help increase awareness of the services that can be provided to enable students to make choices about future careers as well as develop their work readiness.

9.9 In December a workshop was offered by Research and Enterprise and the Office of Strategy and Research on Understanding the influence and impacts of ranking systems. With an increasing prominence of international university rankings, the workshop considered what this meant to individual academics and how can they influence the outcomes. Universities face a variety of unique challenges in the definition and implementation of efficient strategies in a fast-changing and competitive global environment. This was an excellent opportunity for Page 27 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

staff to further understand this driver of university reputation and the impact that they can have.

9.10 Health and Safety The Tertiary Education Strategy number one priority includes health and safety. Already in 2015 we have seen campus visitors call the WorkSafe regulator if they feel the University is not looking after safety.

As such, it is imperative teaching staff convey to students what happens in emergency situation, similar to the announcement passengers get on every air flight.

Prepared PowerPoint slides for each campus and a new earthquake video can be found at http://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/staffroom/national-shared-services/health- safety/emergency-response/emergency-response_home.cfm#StudentEMinfo, where information about first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation can also be found.

Staff can amend the slides with specifics such as: • Assembly point for teaching space (available from notices in hall ways or in teaching space), • Any course specific requirements.

In addition to the lecturer slides, there are flip charts available in all teaching spaces. These provide more information on what to do in specific emergency events such as fire, utility failure, bomb threat, violence/armed offender alert, earthquake/tsunami, storm, volcanic eruption and flooding.

9.11 Campus Infrastructure

Manawatū • Additional CCTV cameras have been installed in the Orchard Road car park to enhance security in that area.

Albany • Albany Highway Widening is an external public works project and is now well under way. As the University is landlord to the contractor’s site offices and yards, it has been discussed and agreed that some infrastructure works construction will be undertaken at no charge. This also provides us with good communication channels, which will be used to keep disruptions to a minimum. • It has been agreed that the Northern Auckland Kindergarten Association take over the lease and management of the campus early childcare centre on campus. The new ownership structure will be effective from January 1.

Wellington • Most of the College of Creative Arts staff have moved out of the Old Museum Building at the Wellington campus. The move into the newly renovated office space in Block 1 is due at the beginning of March. • The refurbishment of half of Level A of the Wellington Library is completed, and staff and students have moved into the new space. • The first of four workshops has been held with Athfield Architects, Library staff, University staff and students, to gather ideas towards the design concept for a redeveloped Manawatū Library.

9.12 Highlights of meetings I have had with Massey staff and associated groups included: • Met with the Combined Unions (November). This is a very valuable forum where matters of interest can be discussed in an open manner. Thanks to the Union representatives and the staff of People and Organisational Development for ensuring such a positive relationship. • Held End of Year Staff meeting on all campuses (November). • Attended Three Graduation Ceremonies, Palmerston North. • Spoke at the MBA Graduation dinner.

9.14 Massey University Committee Appointments

9.14.1 On the recommendation of the Assistant Vice-Chancellor Research, Academic and Enterprise, I have appointed Jeremy Hubbard as acting chair of the Massey University Human Ethics Committee: Southern A, for the remainder of his three-year term, from January 1, 2015, to June 30, 2017.

9.14.2 On the recommendation of the chair of the Appointment Committee for the Selection of Community Members and under delegated authority of Council, I have made the following appointments of community members: • Marika Stubbs, to the Massey University Human Ethics Committee: Southern A, for a term of three years, from February 1, 2015, to January 31, 2018. • Dr Glenix Mobberley, to the Massey University Human Ethics Committee: Southern B, for a term of three years, from February 1, 2015, to January 31, 2018.

9.14.3 On the recommendation of the Chair of the Massey University Genetic Technology Committee and under delegated authority of Council, I have re-appointed Dr Greg Lambert as a community representative to the Massey University Genetic Technology Committee, for a term of three years, from March 1, 2015, to February 28, 2018.

10.0 Te Whai Wāhi/Ngā Wero Opportunities/Threats

10.1 Educational Amendment Bill The Government passed the Educational Amendment Bill in February. This means there will be changes to university governance. I have advised staff that the Massey Council has begun discussing what will need to be done and that they will be consulted on what will be proposed.

10.2 As mentioned in item 6.8 above, Universities New Zealand met in December and hosted a range of officials from Government agencies. There is a lot going on in the tertiary education policy space but little of it seems to be clear. For now it is business as usual but the Government does seem to be exploring changes in the science and education sectors. It is a good sign that the universities are being invited into discussion so we will (hopefully) have early warning of any substantial changes. Page 30 of 55

C 15/03 - March Part I

10.3 Further to item 1.1 and 2.2 above, the only significant problem on the horizon at the moment is student numbers. As reported in the media there has been a small drop in the number of students leaving school. In addition, a change in the University Entrance criteria appears to have caught a group of around 4000 students out.

Despite these problems, enquiries are looking favourable (in some cases very favourable) but it is vital that these turn into enrolments. All staff directly involved with enrolments have been working very hard. College staff have also been phoning students to discuss their intentions – something which appears to be making a difference. Choices are still being made, so it is important to keep up the effort.

11.0 Te Mana o te Wānanga Overall sense/feel of the place

11.1 It has been interesting catching up with senior teams and other staff as they get their plans for the year under way. (I have mentioned that groups I have met with to date in item 9.12 above.). I have been discussing what is on the University agenda for 2015 (something that will be covered during the All Staff meetings in March). There are few surprises (although the year may bring some!). The University has a very clear direction and strategy. Each year the aim is to “move the needle” further in the right direction.

During the discussions I have been having I have been asking staff to ensure they are clear about the direction of the University and to set out achievable goals for the year (also refer to item 2.2 above for further details). We cannot do everything at once so it is important to identify actions that build on previous years while setting the scene for the next.

Binary was unveiled at Manawatū this afternoon. Heritage sculptures mark Massey's golden jubilee Heritage sculptures are being unveiled at the three Massey University campuses to commemorate the 50th anniversary of becoming a university.

Professional external advice was sought by the respective campus arts committees to help select the artists who crafted the sculptures.

The first to be unveiled, at Albany yesterday, was a giant chicken wing called The Golden Promise created by Reuben Paterson. An established Auckland artist renowned for his work using glitter, Mr Paterson used the metaphor of a wing symbolising protection and nurturing offered by the university to students at the campus, which was previously the site of chicken farming.

“This work especially refers to – and celebrates – the development of the university from its beginnings as an agricultural college, into what it has aspired to become over the course of its own history – and just as the university has transformed and grown over this time, so too has the pastoral land on which it is located at Albany,” he says.

Professor Kerry Chamberlain, who chairs the visual arts committee at Albany, says the sculpture fitted the brief for the work to be not merely decorative, but an artistic statement linking place and history and the University’s aspirations. He acknowledged the work, located inside the Quadrangle, may be controversial, but says a function of art is to intrigue and challenge.

“Reuben wanted to engage students and make people laugh and smile while simultaneously recognising the work as a serious and symbolic sculpture.”

A second artwork was also commissioned to celebrate the Albany campus’ 21st birthday, and to highlight it as the innovation campus.

Auckland artist Dane Mitchell was commissioned for this project and created Vaporous Sculptural Act, a work that challenges the form and solidity of sculpture. The work consists of a vaporous form Page 33 of 55

Appendix I C 15/03 - March Part I achieved by emitting a non-toxic vapour through a polished rectangular grate embedded into the grass.

Professor Chamberlain says the work offers commentary on the boundaries and meanings of art. "Dane’s work appealed to the committee because it was highly conceptual and sculpturally very innovative.”

At the Manawatū campus this afternoon a sculpture called Binary, created by Italian-born artist Chiara Corbelletto, will be unveiled outside the Student Centre above the Oval. It was designed to represent the fundamental and biological science disciplines promoted and cultivated at the campus.

Ms Corbelletto describes the modular work made of aluminium plating as offering a commentary on the assembling of units of knowledge and information, and the interconnectedness of all things. “I see this work having many layers of relevance to the disciplines that are studied and researched at the Manawatū campus, from life sciences to genetics and biotechnology.”

At Wellington, Pasifika artist Filipe Tohi has constructed an 8.5m welded aluminium sculpture titled Poutaha – meaning both a marker and a memorial. It is based on a Māori godstick such as those in early contact with Aotearoa and other places around the Pacific.

Located outside the executive seminar suite, the work responds to the Wellington campuses site (Puke Ahu), which is said to have once been a growing garden. Mr Tohi was also inspired by rope lashing seen in the historical material culture and architecture of various migrations of Oceania (including that of Tonga, Mr Tohi’s birthplace), and says the work is bound to the past through this connection and the present via its shape and choice of materials.

Wellington campus arts committee spokesperson Associate Professor Heather Galbraith describes Tohi as a senior artist who is constantly innovating and developing his sculptural language.

“He was keen to engage with the history and context of the site of Puke Ahu, and 'Poutaha' is a work that does just that in a sensitive and highly considered way.”

There will be a blessing today at the site and the Poutaha will be unveiled on Wednesday.

Distinguished Professor Peter Schwerdtfeger

Peter Schwerdtfeger awarded Rutherford Medal

A world-leading authority in quantum chemistry and physics, Massey University’s Distinguished Professor Peter Schwerdtfeger is this year’s winner of THe Royal Society of New Zealand’s most prestigious science award, the $100,000 Rutherford Medal.

Page 36 of 55

Appendix II C 15/03 - March Part I Professor Schwerdtfeger, originally from Germany, has been based at the University’s Albany campus since 2003. He is the seventh Massey scholar to be selected by the Royal Society of New Zealand to receive the award in the past 10 years.

“Distinguished Professor Peter Schwerdtfeger is one of New Zealand’s most brilliant and internationally sought-after scientists,” the Rutherford Medal selection panel says.

“His research has provided a deep insight into how atoms and molecules interact at the quantum level.”

Professor Schwerdtfeger works on fundamental aspects of chemical and physical phenomena in atoms, molecules and condensed matter. His approach to science is truly interdisciplinary, ranging from chemistry to physics, computer science and mathematics.

He says he is honoured to receive the Rutherford Medal.

“Rutherford, for me, is one of the giants in science. He’s in the same category as Einstein, Dirac, Schrödinger, and Heisenberg. When I went through school and university, the name Rutherford was everywhere. There’s the Rutherford atomic model, and there’s Rutherford scattering — and of course he was the first one to split the atom, and he discovered the proton. So the name — the person — Rutherford, means a lot to me. In that sense, I’m honoured.”

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1955, and now a New Zealand citizen, Professor Schwerdtfeger spent his early years studying subjects that interested him.

“I came out of school and didn’t know what to do, so I thought ‘maybe I’ll study chemistry’ so I went into chemistry, and then I did mathematics and physics – and because there were no student fees in Germany, you could study as long as you wanted. So I studied until I was 30, and by then I probably had four or five degrees.”

For seven years, while he was studying, he drove taxis at night to cover his living costs, finishing his final shift the day before he flew to New Zealand to take up a new position. He credits that experience with giving him a broader view of the world.

“I could write a book about my experiences, from taking a 14-year-old prostitute off the streets and putting a pimp behind bars, to saving people’s lives. It’s amazing what you experience as a taxi driver.”

This rich life experience may also have influenced the approach he has taken to his diverse research interests, which range from theoretical chemistry and physics, to computer science and mathematics, with applications in materials science, environmental chemistry and physics, high-pressure physics, atomic, molecular and solid-state physics, including quantum electrodynamic effects and electroweak interactions, thermodynamics of melting processes, and graph theory with fullerene structures.

He has had papers rejected from respected journals because the processes they outlined were deemed revolutionary, and the referees did not believe the results. These are now his most-cited papers. He has published more than 290 papers in international journals and books. His current h- index stands at 47 and he is the most highly cited chemist and physicist in the country at his age. His diverse interests in science are reflected in the different themes chosen in the seven Marsden grants he has received over the last 15 years.

Professor Schwerdtfeger is a passionate advocate for the role of fundamental and applied sciences in New Zealand universities.

“Basic, or fundamental science, is science for science’s sake. There are so many things we don’t understand in physics, chemistry and biological sciences, like how did we get the first molecules of life? Applied science is really important to me too. How can we solve the global warming problem, or the energy crisis we will face in the future?”

In 2013, he and a team of researchers, including Dr Elke Pahl from Massey University, solved the long-standing problem of why mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at room temperature. Page 37 of 55

Appendix II C 15/03 - March Part I Through calculations and computational simulations, they showed this is due to Einstein’s special relativity. Without this effect, the melting point of mercury would be 82°C not -39° as observed.

Massey University Vice-Chancellor Steve Maharey says Professor Schwerdtfeger epitomises Massey’s strategy of helping shape our nation and taking the best of New Zealand to the rest of the world.

“My warmest congratulations to Peter. He has proudly represented Massey University and New Zealand on the world scientific stage for many years. He has won numerous accolades for his inspirational work and, in taking out this year’s Rutherford Medal, he follows in the footsteps of many of Massey University’s finest scientists.”

Deputy Vice-Chancellor and College of Sciences Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Robert Anderson describes Professor Schwerdtfeger as “extraordinarily talented” and says his Rutherford Medal is “richly deserved”.

He has received many international grants, awards and prizes, including a James Cook Fellowship and the Hector Medal in 2001, the Alexander von Humboldt Research Prize and the Fukui medal in 2011, an elected fellowship into the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences in 2012 (which restricts membership to 100 scientists worldwide, including a number of Nobel prize winners). He was made a Distinguished Professor in 2012.

Although he has received many offers to work overseas, Professor Schwerdtfeger says New Zealand is his home. “I’m very happy here. My kids didn’t want to leave, and my wife is also happy here. I have a research centre (the Centre for Theoretical Chemisty and Physics) here with a team that are absolutely world class. We’ve got top people who regularly publish in top international jounals. I think we are quite unique in this country.”

Distinguished Professor Schwerdtfeger is the seventh Massey alumnus to receive the Rutherford Medal in the past ten years. Previous Massey alumni (staff members, former staff members or graduate) recipients include: Distinguished Professor Margaret Brimble (former staff member, 2012), Professor Christine Winterbourn (graduate, 2011), Professor David Parry (staff member, 2008), Professor Edward (Ted) Baker (former staff member, 2006), Professor Sir Paul Callaghan (graduate, former staff member, 2005) and Professor David Penny (staff member, 2004).

They investigate storage and handling of fresh produce after harvest and the optimisation of packaging and refrigeration technologies. Steve Flint, director of Food Science and Technology, says their success lies in their multi-disciplined approach to research.

“The team consists of researchers with diverse skills and that creates strength in the team,” he says. Professor Heuer is a professor of veterinary epidemiology and infectious diseases in the Institute of Veterinary, Animal, and Biomedical Sciences. He has supervised 26 PhD students, as well as 34 master's, honours and diploma students. His research focus has been on infectious diseases, primarily Johne’s disease and leptospirosis, of both humans and livestock.

“I strongly value my professional and personal relationship with Cord, and consider his input as being vital in the development of my career,” says Anou Dreylus, Professor Heuer’s former PhD student.

Appendix IV C 15/03 - March Part I Marketing professor ranked 11th in world

Professor Harald van Heerde

Massey University’s Professor Harald van Heerde has been placed 11th equal in the world for marketing research by the American Marketing Association (AMA).

The AMA’s productivity report measures the number of articles published in the four premier academic marketing journals over the past five years.

With 10 articles published in the top four publications (Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research and Marketing Science), Professor van Heerde has moved up the global rankings by three places over the past 12 months.

He is the only researcher from Australasia to make the report’s top 50, which puts the Albany-based academic alongside professors from such prestigious universities as Yale, Harvard, Stanford and Columbia.

“I am really pleased to see our little corner of the world showcased and included in the rankings,” he says. “It’s good to be out there competing against others who work at the top schools in America.”

Originally from the Netherlands, Professor van Heerde moved to New Zealand in 2006 and joined Massey in January 2013.

“It’s nice to be able to represent Massey like this and be part of a culture where success is celebrated,” he says.

Deputy head of the College of Business, Professor Malcolm Wright, says Massey’s School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing is proud of Professor van Heerde’s achievement.

“Harald came to Massey with a big reputation for his research and has proved to be an important part of the school. His work typifies Massey’s aim of taking the best of New Zealand to the rest of the world and this recognition is very much deserved.”

Professor van Heerde has a PhD in economics and his research focuses on measuring the quantitative effect of marketing, including the impact of advertising on sales. He has also been

Page 41 of 55

Appendix IV C 15/03 - March Part I instrumental in developing Massey's new Master of Analytics qualification, which launches in February and aims to fill the 'big data' skills shortage.

While he plans to remain productive in his research, he says quality is more important than quantity.

“It’s not just a matter of numbers though, it’s about getting the right information published that is going to impact marketing academics and marketing practitioners around the world.”

Massey University Professor Emeritus Roger Morris.

Unique recognition for global disease specialist Massey University Professor Emeritus Roger Morris will become the first scientist from outside North America to be honoured at the prestigious Schwabe Symposium for global disease control in Chicago this Sunday.

The international symposium will be held in Professor Morris' honour, recognising his work on globally important diseases such as bird flu and Mad Cow Disease, and also on New Zealand problems such as bovine tuberculosis.

The symposium, titled “Diseases, Dilemmas, Decisions”, will deal with the challenges he faced in controlling serious diseases during his career over the past half-century and how they were solved by epidemiological investigation. Speakers will include some of his former students, now also international leaders.

Professor Morris has travelled to more than 50 countries and participated in more than 100 international expert groups and national consultancies. He retired from Massey in 2008 but remains heavily involved in disease control internationally, in particular at the forefront of efforts to control avian influenza (bird-flu), and is now becoming involved with control efforts for Ebola virus.

Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Science head Professor Frazer Allan says being honoured by the conference is a fitting recognition of Professor Morris’ international reputation and commitment to epidemiology research. “Massey University, New Zealand, in fact the entire world, has been fortunate to have him provide us with the benefit of his knowledge and experience.”

Schwabe Symposia are held as a memorial to Professor Calvin Schwabe, an early leader in the development of epidemiology with a special interest in the links between human and animal disease. This year’s symposium will be held on the weekend.

Distinguished Professor Paul Moughan Moughan appointed to global food think tank The world's leading science academy body has set up a four-person think tank to report on ways to reduce the number of chronically malnourished people and address the challenge posed by the planet's rapidly growing human population.

The Global Food and Nutrition Security Think Tank will be chaired by Professor Volker ter Muelen of Germany and includes Distinguished Professor Paul Moughan of the Riddet Institute, a Government- funded centre of research excellence hosted by Massey University in New Zealand.

The initiative will be funded by the International Academy Partnership (IAP), which is a global network of science academies. Professor Moughan will contribute in his capacity as a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. He will travel to Germany in June to contribute to the project. Professor Moughan says the number of people chronically malnourished in the world is currently around 800 million.

"In recent years, considerable inroads have been made on global malnutrition. The think tank will consider how science can aid agriculture and food production to continue to reduce chronic malnourishment."

"Alongside this, we know our planet's population will increase rapidly over the next 50 years. We not only need to reduce malnourishment, we also need to find ways to produce more foods so we can support the anticipated population growth, but this must be done sustainably."

Professor Moughan says he is humbled by the appointment. "The issues the think tank will consider, while daunting, are not insurmountable. We need science-based solutions to the challenges we face. I'm pleased to have been selected and I hope this initiative goes some way to improving the lives of those who currently don't have food or nutrition security.”

Professor Emeritus Gary Hermansson (ONZM)

New Year’s Honours for Massey staff and alumni

Mr Ben Taufua (MNZM)

Three Massey staff members and 12 Massey alumni have been named in the 2015 New Year’s Honours list. Page 47 of 55

Appendix IX C 15/03 - March Part I World-leading sports psychologist and Massey Professor Emeritus Gary Hermansson, has been made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to the field of sports psychology.

Professor Hermansson completed a Diploma of Education, Master of Arts and Doctorate at Massey University. He then became a Professor as well as the director of Sport Sciences. Professor Hermansson has worked with a number of large institutions as well as five Olympic and four Commonwealth Games teams and has been the team psychologist for the Black Caps cricketers.

“It’s a great privilege really, to be able to work with people who have done extremely well. But also those moments where you know there’s someone in the dressing room who’s going through a lot of grief, anger, or despair and you can help them. It’s often those moments that are a lot more meaningful” he says.

Associate Professor Kathryn Stowell from the Institute of Fundamental Sciences was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to biomedical science. Her association with Massey University dates back to 1976 when she first started working as a biochemistry technician. Dr Stowell graduated with a PhD in Biochemistry from Massey in 1991 and then studied as a post- doctoral Fellow at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at Oxford University. In 1993 she was appointed a lecturer in biochemistry at Massey. Since 2013 Dr Stowell has been director of postgraduate studies at the Institute of Fundamental Sciences.

Her work involves identifying and sequencing genetic variants for malignant hyperthermia - a disorder that affects around 50 families in New Zealand.

"Any award like this is not due to one person," Dr Stowell says. "I want to thank my PhD students, technicians and other scientists."

Pasifika advisor Ben Taufua has been made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the Pacific Community. Mr Taufua is the Project Manager for Pasifika at Massey University. He has been instrumental in creating scholarships for Pasifika people to train in disaster management – a subject of personal significance to him after losing relatives in the tsunami which struck Samoa in September 2009.

He credits his recent recognition to his desire to serve, which was instilled in him by his grandparents, and driven by his children. “Everything I am is because of them. You see what they do and that it’s part and parcel of their everyday lives. You’re influenced by that but also their legacy and the legacy of those who have gone before” Mr Taufua says.

More accolades for paralympian

Caption: Paralympian Mary Fisher, a multi-medal winner at the 2012 London Paralympics continued her form in 2014, which saw her named Disabled Sportsperson of the Year at the Halberg Awards.

Massey University psychology student Mary Fisher was named Disabled Sportsperson of the Year at the annual Halberg Awards in Auckland last night.

Her successes in 2014 included a six-medal haul at the Pan-Pacific Championships in Pasadena and she ended the year ranked first in six long-course events and five short-course events.

The Bachelor of Arts student, who is majoring in psychology at Massey’s Wellington campus, is categorised as being totally blind and swims in the S11 class. This requires her to wear blackened goggles and for someone to tap her as she approaches the swimming pool wall.

Her swimming commitments mean she is studying by distance this semester as she trains to qualify for a place at the World Championships in Glasgow in July.

The Halberg Awards, where she met event founder and Olympic gold medallist Sir Murray Halberg, was a rare opportunity for the 22 year old to rub shoulders with other sports stars.

“My award was really exciting and quite unexpected but really cool too. It was a chance to say thanks to all the people who got me there, including the people outside swimming,” she says.

Bachelor of Business Studies graduate and Olympic rowing gold medallist Hamish Bond won the Supreme Halberg Award with teammate Eric Murray for continuing an unbeaten streak in competitive racing since 2009. The pair won their 19th race in succession at the World Rowing Championships in 2014.

3D light projection at the river mouth by Kura Puke and Stu Foster.

A kayaker describes how his eyes turn a different shade of blue in the water. For tangata whenua, it is the umbilical cord that binds Mt Taranaki to the sea. For a Massey scientist, it’s a route of ancient lahars.

They are among participants to feature in a just-launched film weaving together diverse stories, experiences and knowledge of Taranaki’s Waiwhakaiho River for a Massey University Living Lab project.

The project – which aims to break down barriers between art and science, as well as academia and the wider community – has resulted in a documentary, Sharing the Waiwhakaiho.

The 15-minute movie by local filmmaker Anand Rose, of New Plymouth-based Green Cow films, was launched at New Plymouth’s Puke Ariki Museum last weekend, along with a number of creative works around the city inspired by data collected by Massey University social scientists. Page 52 of 55

Appendix XI C 15/03 - March Part I

Rose’s film brings together breath-taking imagery of the river and surrounding landscapes and mountain – much of it using aerial drone photography – interspersed with interviews featuring local people connected to the river through farming, art, recreation, science, sport, Māori history and environmental management.

In it, an elderly woman farmer shares anecdotes about the discovery of Māori taonga in a swamp. A sculptor muses on the sensual effects and inspiration of the river’s sounds and colours. Vince Neall, Emeritus Professor in Earth Science, tells of how iron oxide can turn the river red, and what the chances are of a volcanic eruption from Mt Taranaki.

But the project also has a bolder aim beyond the creation of an interesting film and innovative art works.

Associate Professor Juliana Mansvelt, a human geographer in the School of People, Environment and Planning who has been part of the team gathering stories from locals in recent months, says the ‘living lab’ concept aims to bring together different strands of society around a common theme. By sharing their perspectives, new knowledge and understandings can be created.

Ultimately, the aim is to use storytelling to highlight the value of the river to the region – economic, cultural, social and environmental – and to enhance efforts to ensure it is protected in the long term.

She hopes the project will inspire similar initiatives in other regions, and that the film and a website capturing the project and its numerous stories – which she dubs “data with a soul” – will provide a model for what can be done elsewhere when science, art and digital storytelling combine.

A Sharing the Waiwhakaiho website created by New Plymouth digital artist Ian Clothier hosts the many aspects of the project, including interviews, images, historical information and scientific data.

Clothier, executive director of Intercreate, which specialises in projects combining art, science, technology and cultural bridging, hopes the website stories and information will overturn some of the misconceptions about pollution in the river.

Introducing the website at the launch, he praised the efforts of farmers who have invested heavily in riparian planting. One of these is Kent Road farmer and riparian planter with a strong appreciation of Māori spiritual values, Wayne Peters.

Peters, on the website, says of his relationship to the river; “When I look at it, I see peace, I see harmony, I see beauty and I see myself as one of the luckiest people in the world. Being here with my friends and family, the bush, the trees and the birds is an absolute privilege.

“Establishing stands of native bush on my farm has been a spiritual journey as much as a practical one. Riparian planting is so much more than protecting the river banks. It is about being a spiritual part of the land.”

Over the past three months, more than 50 Taranaki people have taken up the call to send in their own impressions, stories and images relating to the river to a Facebook page and in face-to-face interviews.

The Massey team hope more people across generations will continue contributing to the Facebook page.

Jock McQueenie, a community arts consultant on the team, says the Sharing the Waiwhakaiho project has enormous potential to help build what he calls the “creative economy”, through strengthening connections between the business, tourism, social services, education and the arts.

One example is digital artist Trudy Lane’s River Resonations scheme, trialled at Tupare Gardens in the weekend. She constructed a geo-located ‘black box’ with audio recordings collected by the Massey team. Triggered by a location sensor, it allows the person holding it to learn more about the place they are seeing. McQueenie says her innovation could be adapted by businesses and tourism ventures as well as social services as a means of sharing knowledge. Page 53 of 55

At nightfall, following the film launch, spectators were treated to a stunning light projection near Te Rewa Rewa bridge at the river mouth. Using 3D animation techniques and an infrared lens, Massey College of Creative Arts digital artists Kura Puke and Stu Foster created dazzling visions of ancient tribal figures that whirled, dissolved and re-assembled in constant motion in tiny flecks of light above the river.

Part of their work with Ngati Tawhirikura and Te Matahiapo Indigenous Research Organisation, their display mesmerised onlookers and showed how technology can embrace nature, history, and visual magic.

Professor Paul Kenyon Kenyon to head Massey vet sciences institute Internationally renowned sheep specialist Professor Paul Kenyon is the new head of Massey University’s Institute of Veterinary, Animal, and Biomedical Sciences.

The institute includes New Zealand's only Veterinary Teaching Hospital and its leading native wildlife health centre, Wildbase.

Professor Kenyon has led or co-led more than 100 sheep research studies in the past decade, resulting in more than 330 scientific publications – all aimed at improving on-farm productivity and profitability.

College of Sciences Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Robert Anderson, who announced the appointment, says Professor Kenyon's proven teaching and management skills and his strong research links in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and South America made him an excellent candidate for the important role.

Professor Kenyon says there are opportunities for the institute to grow in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching space and in research both nationally and internationally. He aims to work with the team at the Institute to identify those opportunities and develop strategies to realise them.

“I am honoured to head of an institute that is nationally and internationally recognised for its teaching and research excellence," he says. "I am excited by the challenges this position brings and I am looking forward to working with a highly successful team.”

REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES POLICY

Finance, Strategy and Information Section Technology Contact Finance

Last Review September 2013

Next Review September 2016 Approval C13/112 – October: 3.1.1.1

Purpose:

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance on what the University considers appropriate costs for reimbursement to a staff member.

Policy:

The University will reimburse a staff member for actual and reasonable expenses paid on the University’s behalf by that staff member.

Any expenses reimbursed must relate directly to University business.

Only expenses approved within University policies and limits will be reimbursed. After the expense is incurred, the staff member should complete an online claim through Flexipurchase.

All requests for reimbursement must be made in accordance with the Reimbursement of Expenses Procedures as approved by the AVC Finance, Strategy and Information Technology.

All claims must be supported by original itemised receipts/invoices. If the expense is over $50.00 this must be a GST invoice/ receipt. EFTPOS slips and copies of credit card statements do not meet the GST tax invoice requirements and are therefore not acceptable.

No staff member may approve reimbursement of his or her own expenditure. Approval must be authorised by the Line Manager to whom the staff member reports.

When submitting a reimbursement claim, staff should advise the approving signatory of any instances which do not comply with the criteria described in this policy, e.g. expenses which are not supported by a receipt or GST invoice. The approving signatory must check the staff reimbursement claim to ensure all expenses are:

• Coded to appropriate ledger code(s) • Reasonable and comply with the Discretionary Expenditure Policy.

Authorising signatories must comply with Massey University’s Delegation of Authority Document. Authorising signatories must not authorise the payment of any staff reimbursement where they have a financial interest or a potential conflict of interest.

The staff reimbursement statement with GST Tax Invoices/receipts securely attached is to be sent to the Review Team, Finance for payment within one month of incurring the expense.

Massey University Policy Guide Reimbursement of Expenses Policy – Page 2

Finance will ensure that all staff reimbursements are paid within fourteen days of receipt, providing they are complete and authorised correctly.

Staff issued with a University credit card should refer to the Credit Card Policy.

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE TERMS OF REFERENCE 2015

7 March 2015

Purpose That Council approve the Audit and Risk Committee Terms of Reference 2015 following the annual review and recommendation by the Audit and Risk Committee.

Background In 2014 it was decided by Council that there would be both an Audit and Risk Committee and a Finance Committee.

Discussion The changes proposed in the Audit and Risk Committee Terms of Reference 2015 are as follows:

1. The Interim Terms of Reference of the Finance Committee have resulted in the removal of reference to Treasury Oversight as it is included in the Finance Committee paragraph 3(d).

2. The Chair proposed that it would be more appropriate that post completion reviews were a Finance Committee responsibility and as such should be removed from the Audit and Risk Committee Terms of Reference 2015 (paragraph Audit 3(i)). This amendment will be proposed at the first Finance Committee meeting when the Interim Terms of Reference are addressed by the Committee.

3. The Audit and Risk Committee approves some Risk policies under the delegated authority of Council and in other cases recommends approval to the Council. It is proposed that this is explicitly stated under the bullet point under Risk (d).

Page 1 of 10

C15/07 – March Part I

5. Under Responsibilities, Audit, (j) it is recommended that the Audit and Risk Committee liaise with the office of the Auditor General as well as with internal and external auditors.

Recommendation

That the Audit and Risk Committee recommend that Council approve the Audit and Risk Committee Terms of Reference for 2015 as amended.

6 March 2015

Approval of 2014 Annual Financial Statements and Statement of Service Performance and signing of Letter of Representation: Delegation to Audit and Risk Committee

The 2014 Annual Financial Statements (AFS) and Statement of Service Performance (SSP) require approval from Council. The Letter of Representation to the auditors also needs to be signed. Timelines for the approval of the AFS and SSP preclude them from being tabled at the 6 March 2015 Council meeting and hence a meeting of the Audit and Risk Committee has been scheduled for 17 April 2015.

The Audit and Risk Committee Terms of Reference do not include the delegated authority to approve the AFS and SSP or sign the Letter of Representation, and therefore the delegated authority of Council is being sought. (Note the AFS are signed by the Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor once the AFS are approved and the Auditor’s report is received.)

All Council members will receive the AFS and SSP ahead of the Audit and Risk Committee meeting so any issues may be raised with the Chair, Kura Denness, prior to the meeting for discussion at the meeting.

A draft copy of the Letter of Representation has been attached. If the format of this letter changes prior to the Audit and Risk Committee, a copy will be recirculated. Similarly, if Council members have any concerns then these also can be raised with the Chair ahead of the meeting.

Recommendation

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT:

COUNCIL DELEGATE THE AUTHORITY TO THE AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE 2014 ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND STATEMENT OF SERFICE PERFORMANCE AND FOR THE CHAIR TO SIGN THE LETTER OF REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL.

STUDENT FEES SETTING PROCESS AND PRINCIPLES

16 January 2015

Purpose

This paper outlines the process and timeline for setting next year’s domestic and international fees and seeks Council’s agreement on the principles for setting of fees for 2016.

Background

The process for setting 2016 fees for domestic and international students will follow a similar path to previous years. However, given changes to the schedule of Council meetings, it is proposed to bring recommendations for 2016 fees to the May Council meeting, namely:

• Principles for setting fees to be agreed by Council at the March meeting (6/3/2015).

• A combined International and Domestic Fees decision paper to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) in March and considered by Council at the 1 May 2015 meeting.

• Students will be engaged with throughout the process via the University’s Student Advisory Committee, which is chaired by the Assistant Vice-Chancellor Operations, International & University Registrar.

Principles

It is recommended that fee setting for 2016 be guided by the same principles as last year, namely:

a) Fees set are aligned with the advancement of University strategy as outlined in Massey University, Shaping the Nation – the Road to 2025;

b) The areas that will be funded by, and benefits gained from, increases in fees will be made clear;

c) The University’s market position, i.e. relativity of fees with other universities, will be considered in setting fees, which for domestic fees may require consideration of AMFM exemption application for some programmes;

Page 1 of 2 C15/04 - March Part I

d) Fees set are consistent with the budget priorities and fiscal projects as outlined in the University’s 2015 Budget Policy Statement and designed to ensure the University’s financial sustainability;

e) The Students’ Association, on behalf of all students, will continue to be consulted in the process leading up to the recommendation by Management to Council of stated fees for the ensuing year;

f) Fees set will consider the impact of fees on student affordability;

g) Fees will be set in accordance with current Government policy;

h) The rationale for the fees set will be transparent and will endeavour to demonstrate value for learners;

i) The process of fee setting will recognise that there are differential costs and potential benefits to the individual and the University of study for different types of course; and

j) The structure of the University’s fees will be consistent with the goals of the Fee Strategy Review i.e. that fees structures be administratively straight forward and practical.

Recommendations

It is recommended that Council:

1. Note the process and timeline for setting international and domestic fees for 2016; and

2. Approve the principles for setting of fees for 2016 as outlined in a – j above.

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

PURPOSE

This report summarises the financial results for Massey University (the “University”) and it’s controlled entities (the “group”) for the year ended 31 December 2014. It should be noted that the 31 December 2014 results are draft and subject to audit. It should also be noted that the final consolidated revenue and expenditure but not surplus in the annual report has changed and may further change due to the timing of the receipt of subsidiary financial information and other adjustments made at year end.

DISCUSSION

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

The full year (FY) group surplus was a return of 2.04% of revenue, an increase of 0.54% above budgeted group surplus of 1.5%. A large proportion of the group’s outperformance on revenue was preserved and dropped directly to the bottom line as a surplus. Reductions in student revenue were offset by cost savings from procurement initiatives, strong control of costs across the University, and sound oversight of leave liabilities. The Massey University Foundation Trust (MUF) outperformed its budget with increased donations received.

UNIVERSITY

The comments made in this section are in relation to the University’s financial performance only.

EFTS Related Contribution

Student numbers did not reach budgeted levels and revenue has been impacted. The shortfall in revenue of $5.3m was offset by cost saving initiatives.

Contract & Trading(C&T) Related Contribution

Full year C&T contribution was $0.6m ahead of FY budget. This was mainly attributed to effective cost management in non-research activities.

Page 1 of 7

C15/ 11 - March Part I

MASSEY UNIVERSITY CONTROLLED ENTITIES

After the consolidation of the controlled entities, the group FY result was ahead of budget mainly due to increased donations to MUF.

Balance Sheet

The University and group’s Balance Sheets are attached as Appendix 2.

The comments made in this section are in relation to the University’s Balance Sheet only.

Liquidity and Solvency

Trade and other receivables were managed within set targets. This was reflected in the debtor’s turnover as at 31 December 2014 of 27.81 days compared to the FY budget of 30 days.

Working capital was ahead of FY budget (83.60%) by 20.56%. The liquid funds and cash cover-liquidity ratios were also ahead of FY budget. These positive results arise from delays in capital expenditure and a rise in interest rates with investments being kept short term to maximise interest revenue.

Non-Current Assets

The asset revaluation was the main driver in the $86.6m increase from the FY budget of $1,015.2m.

Current Liabilities

A number of one-off provisions such as increased revenue received in advance were largely the reason for the increase in current liabilities.

MASSEY UNIVERSITY CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Overall, the University’s Balance Sheet represents 99% of the group’s Balance Sheet. With the sale of NZSM, the remaining controlled entities’ Balance Sheet was materially within budget.

Cash Flow Statement

It should be noted that some of the controlled entities do not currently produce monthly cash flow statements. As a result a Cash Flow Statement for the University only has been provided – refer to Appendix 3.

Overall net cash flows from operating activities were above FY budget by $6.8m. This was a result of reductions in student fees and other income being offset by largely by reductions in expenses through cost savings initiatives and timing of income received in advance.

Net cash flows from investing activities were behind FY budget by $12.5m principally due to delays in the capital programme.

Page 2 of 7

C15/ 11 - March Part I

Net cash flows from financing activities were $0.2m below FY budget due to the drop in loan requirements from Massey subsidiaries.

Capital Expenditure

The University’s Capital Expenditure Report is attached as Appendix 4.

A summary of ‘Group One’ Capital expenditure is included in the table below:

Full Full Full Full Year Year Year Year Actual Budget Variance Variance ($000) ($000) ($000) % Group 1 (Recurrent) 23,917 28,045 4,128 14.72%

Group One (recurrent): Programmes ended the year at 85% of the FY budget. Of the 25 programmes, ten are on or ahead of budget by a total of $0.8m. The remaining 15 programmes finished $4.9m behind their combined FY budgets. December 2014 expenditure, including accruals, was $4.3m against a budget of $6.7m.

RECOMMENDATIONS

It is recommended that Massey University Council:

1. Receive the financial report for the year period ended 31 December 2014.

2. Note that the 31 December 2014 results are draft and subject to audit.

The Chancellor Massey University Council

Dear Chancellor,

Report from the Academic Board Meeting (Part I): 18 February 2015

At the Academic Board meeting held on Wednesday 18 February 2015 in Part I of the meeting the following items are referred to Council for information.

1. Advice on Matters of Academic Policy The Board approved the Recording of Scholarly Work and Student Work Policy. 2. Information to Council with Respect to Major Academic Directions FOCUS OF ACADEMIC BOARD GOING FORWARD Report from Academic Board Working Group

The working group engaged with Professor Ben Bradly from the University of Sturt whose institution has gone through a similar change to its Academic Board in recent years. It is hoped that Professor Bradly will be able to video link to the March meeting but the Chair has asked Board members to submit any questions they have for him a week prior to the meeting in case the video link isn’t possible.

The working group felt it was important that the role of Chair of the Board moves to a stronger academic leadership role and that their review of Boards around the world showed success in this when a Board was strong and active.

The working group felt that having the Chair’s role as .2 wasn’t enough to ensure the Chair was actively involved in academic leadership and able to interact with the academy.

The question was raised about the role of the Academic Board and what it should be focussing on and achieving and whether the working group had considered this as well as the role of the Chair. The working group had focussed on the Chair believing that this was an essential first step as the Chair would be the one leading the discussion around the focus of the Board. It was generally agreed that the Board had an important role in leading academic direction and debate at the University and in strengthening engagement by the academy in decision making. There was a perception that the Board was just a rubber stamp for decisions and both the Chair and the Board needed to have a more visible presence in the academic direction of the University.

Page 1 of 2

C15/12 – March Part I

The Board was in agreement that its focus should be on leading academic discussion with the academy and it should have a custodial role in academic standards and oversight on what is taught at the University.

It was agreed that due to the time constraints on the Board meeting the discussion would be deferred to a special meeting prior to the March Board meeting to allow a full discussion of the nature and responsibility of the Chair and Board.

The working group will meet with Professor Heywood to discuss their findings.

3. Report of Academic Approvals Taken Under Delegation Academic Board approved the Academic Committee Terms of Reference. Academic Board recommended Ethics Committee Appointments to the Vice Chancellor. Academic Board received the College of Business Board Annual Report. 4. Sub-Committee Matters There are no sub-committee matters to report in Part I of the meeting.

5. Items of Early Notice There are no matters for early notice to report in Part I of the meeting.

6. For Information Academic Board received Academic Leaders Forum meeting notes for August 2014.

Conferring of Degrees and awarding of Diplomas and Certificates Degrees were conferred and diplomas and certificates awarded under the delegated authority of Council.
