) The Hon. Carmel Tebbutt, MLC Minister for Education and Training Parliament House Sydney NSW 2000

Dear Minister On behalf of the Council of the University of Technology, Sydney, I have the honour of presenting to you, for tabling in Parliament, the report of the proceedings and fi nancial reports of the University for the year ended 31 December 2004, prepared in accordance with the Annual Reports (Statutory Bodies) Act 1984. In December 2004, Sir Gerard Brennan retired from the position of Chancellor. Sir Gerard has been an extraordinary champion for UTS and his infl uence on the University’s culture and values will be profound and lasting. The University’s excellent international standing was confi rmed in 2004 when The Times Higher Education Supplement listed UTS as one of the world’s top 200 universities. We were also ranked equal fi rst in Australia with the University of Melbourne on the quality of our undergraduate student intake, as measured by the median University entrance score by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research. Although the University continues to be affected by funding constraints, our new strategic plan for 2005-08 provides the blueprint for how we intend to entrench UTS’s reputation as a leading provider of high impact research and practice-oriented education through contemporary professional practice. Yours faithfully

Professor Vicki Sara
