Management is currently developing a Strategic Plan for the period 2014-2020. The plan establishes the values Attachment B and characteristics of the University that infuse and guide all aspects of our operation and behaviour. It will identify strategic objectives for us to meet across our key areas of education, research, engagement and operations. It will also highlight the broad and longer-term objectives and ambitions of the university.

Size and composition of the university In February, I submitted a paper for discussion to Senate on the size and composition of UWA. The paper outlined how this size and composition of the university has changed over Strategic issues the past decade, drew comparisons with other universities at the local, national and international level and considered UWA 2020 / Functional Reviews / Office for several future growth scenarios, drawing inferences about Operational Excellence the resource implications.

This included a functional alignment of Over the past decade, the Go8 research intensive the University’s Executive and professional services to universities have grown substantially and this growth has our core institutional priorities of education, research, been achieved through a disproportionate increase in both external engagement, and corporate services, international and in postgraduate students (particularly and the establishment of the Office for Operational graduate coursework students). UWA is an outlier because, Excellence (OOE). although it has grown substantially, this growth has been focussed on domestic undergraduate students.

To do nothing is not an option if we are to maintain our My personal view is that there is a risk of compromising position as an internationally excellent university.
