LTU Research Plan nears completion

Posted 10 October 2011 by Rhonda Small (La Trobe University)

As agreed at the time of the Research Excellence Framework being passed at Academic Board, NTEU La Trobe Branch has been involved in four discussions with Professor Tim Brown DVC(Research) over the development of the LTU Research Plan 2012-2015, where we have sought to ensure:

  • adequate support for academic staff to develop their research capacity
  • adequate workload allocation for research, and
  • appropriate recognition for the varied research outputs produced by staff.

As the document has been revised many times during consultation with the Union, with Faculties and with staff across the University, keeping up with the current version has proved challenging. We are grateful to colleagues for pointing out issues with earlier versions of the Plan, and we are particularly thankful for the vigilant work done by our colleagues in Law and Management for picking up a range of problems, all of which we have also taken up in our discussions.

We have been invited to attend Academic Board when it meets to consider the Plan this Wednesday 12 October 2011 and we will raise our remaining concerns there. These are encapsulated in a document that we will speak to at Academic Board, and which you will find on our Branch website (see below).

Please contact us if you have any issues you would like to discuss.
