Chancellor’s IntroductionIT IS my pleasure to present the Annual Report ofThe University of Western Australia for 2004, a yearcharacterised by continuing development aimed atensuring our University can successfully face newchallenges brought about by both internal andexternal pressures.Notable among the external pressures in 2004 was the Federal Government’s higher education reform agenda.Senate engaged with the University and wider communities throughout the year as it considered a range of optionsrelated to these reforms. For example, robust and wide-ranging debate preceded Senate’s decisions on studentcontributions and undergraduate fee-paying options—a tradition which ensures that all issues are canvassed andheard. Senate’s decisions reinforced the commitment to academic merit as the key to study at this University and tohigh quality educational outcomes.The University also continued to embrace internal challenges, with academic and administrative structureswhich have the flexibility to accept the opportunities of change. It is a tribute to the commitment and dedication ofstaff—both academic and general, at all levels—that the University continues to build on its outstanding record ofperformance at international standards of excellence.I also take this opportunity to thank the members of the Senate for their commitment to the University andtheir hard work during 2004. Senators remain vitally involved in the general direction of the University as well ascontinuing the process (begun some time ago) which is aimed at ensuring the Senate’s own activities involvestandards of best practice for corporate governance.In February 2004, the University was pleased to welcome Professor Alan Robson as the new Vice-Chancellor following the retirement of Professor Deryck Schreuder at the end of his six-year term. ProfessorRobson was previously Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University and brings a wealth of experience to theVice-Chancellorship. Together with his new Executive team, Professor Robson is well placed to take theUniversity forward in an environment of continuing change.Dr Ken Michael AM CitWA,Chancellorpage 3
