AC – Te Komiti Mātauranga | Academic Committee

Description

Te Komiti Mātauranga | Academic Committee is our ‘top’ committee and is responsible for approving what we deliver, and for a ‘quality management system’ to ensure academic quality and student success.  It also provides advice to the Academic Board of Te Pūkenga | NZIST for decision-making, makes recommendations and provides reports to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).  ‘Governance’ is the responsibility of academic committees, while ‘management’ of the Unitec business is the responsibility of ELT.  While this is generally a cooperative relationship, it also has important tensions because decisions about academic quality need to be achievable within the resources available to Unitec.  Te Komiti Mātauranga meets monthly, is chaired by the Executive Director Ako and its membership includes the Chief Executive, Directors for Research and Student Success, the Student President, and a number of Heads of School, Academic Programme Managers and Senior Academics.  Appointments are for two years.  Details of Te Komiti Mātauranga structure and functions are in its Terms of Reference.

Te Komiti Mātauranga oversees the following committees:

Te Komiti Mātauranga has a Standing Committee.  The business of the Standing Committee is reported regularly to Te Komiti Mātauranga.

Purpose

  • To advise Council on matters relating to Programmes of study or training, Qualifications, and other academic matters
