2012 Annual Report

Executive-level goals were set for 2012 and these were endorsed by the University
Council. These goals were aligned to the University’s six strategic goals which are
outlined in the table below. Achievement of these goals was assessed in relation to the performance of the members of the executive team, including the Vice-Chancellor, Deputy Vice-Chancellors, Deans, Executive Directors and the Registrar. The portfolios of the senior officers often overlap, hence the broader overview of executive performance.

The specific sub-sections of this Annual Report provide further detail in respect of
institutional activities; projects and initiatives undertaken; successes achieved; and
challenges faced. While some of the projects and initiatives listed in this report are
faculty- and department-related, the list is not comprehensive as the focus is generally on those initiatives that are conducted at an institutional level. While this report focusses on the major projects undertaken in 2012, it is worth noting that routine University-wide operations remained stable.
