Meeting Notes, October 5

The things we need to briefly discuss:

• meeting Thursday with financial analyst to work through a variety of scenarios for costing the honours program
• next steps for the LTIF proposal
• Expression of Interest has been endorsed, we are now official
• next best steps for this working group in relation to making honours a success?
• seminar come symposium come discussion on October 22nd with Cameron Tonkinwise and Anne Burdick – what, why, how?

Francesca, Jeremy P, Jeremy Y, Yoko, Karli, and Adrian attended. Long discussion about implications of various funding scenarios and any further scenarios that could be costed. These have been added to the relevant post.

We discussed the RMIT Learning and Teaching Investment Fund application and given the complete application is required to be submitted by October 17 agreed that we did not have time to do this, and that we would continue with it with the view for making it a part of the 2012 honours delivery.

We agreed to continue with developing and writing out the learning and teaching and research vision for the honours program, and that this also be provided to Cameron and Anne so that they could a) help us write these statements and b) critique the laboratory model we have developed and c) develop and contribute to a laboratory scenario for us.

Next meeting, Wed October 20, 1pm.
