Memorandum To The Senate

From Scholarships and Prizes Committee

Date 8 April 2019

Re Amended Undergraduate Entrance Scholarship Proposals

Preamble The Senate is asked to recommend the following scholarship amendments for approval to the University Council. (These recommendations have been endorsed by the Scholarships and Prizes Committee).

1. AMENDED UNDERGRADUATE ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIPS

a) University of Otago Academic Excellence Entrance Scholarship

• Department: Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships• Value: Approximately $34,000 - Scholarship comprises of Residential College

accommodation costs in first year and tuition fees at the domestic fee rate (ifrequired), and $10,000 for years two and three, paid firstly as a tuition fee waiverbefore any stipend or lump sum payment. Payment of the scholarship in years two andthree is subject to GPA of B+ (6.0) or better.

• Background: This scholarship was established in 2011 and remains the University’smost prestigious and sought after scholarship. It is proposed to raise the GPArequirement from 6.0 to 7.0 or better. The reason for this change is to increase thedisparity between the much lesser valued Performance Entrance Scholarshiprequirement for 5.0 or better GPA and the high value Academic Excellence EntranceScholarship. Raising the GPA requirement will effect about three to six students peryear, with others protected by the proposed ‘admission to a professional programme’addition. These proposed changes to the scholarship are not anticipated to affect itsperceived value nor marketability, but would assist with the management of thescholarship for recipients in years two and three.

• Recommended by:o Dr Robin Quigg, Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships Manager.o Professor Helen Nicholson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor External Engagement.

Existing Condition Scholarship detail • Tenure in years two and three normally requires a GPA of 6.0 or better (B+) for the previous

year.

University of Otago

Micro-credentials Framework

The recognition of micro-credentials is an important development in the delivery of tertiary-level study in New Zealand and forms part of an international trend that is rapidly gaining impetus. The purpose of this framework is to outline the place of micro-credentials at the University of Otago in a way that balances their entrepreneurial nature and responsive agility with established principles of quality advancement and excellence.

It is expected that micro-credentials will be developed only in a relatively small number of contexts within the University where there is clear demand from industry, employers, professional associations, iwi and/or other communities. Even so, as with any other teaching at the University all micro-credentials will be delivered in a manner consistent with the University of Otago Strategic Direction to 2020, particularly its emphasis on teaching excellence. Those delivering micro-credentials must have regard to the University’s Graduate Profile, not least the attribute of Lifelong Learning: ‘Commitment to the on-going acquisition of new knowledge and new skills, and an ability to apply these to an ever-changing environment’.

Micro-credentials present the University with an opportunity to offer its expertise in research-informed learning in new ways to new students, without ignoring current students and staff. This is particularly (but not exclusively) at the postgraduate level for those seeking further skills who are mid-career in a continuing vocation or navigating regular changes in career. As such, micro-credentials are eminently suited for distance learning.

Micro-credentials also carry risk. They are not intended to duplicate already existing papers but if micro-credentials proliferate they have the potential to deplete enrolments in the University’s core business of papers and qualifications. It is for each division within the University to oversee the development of micro-credentials in a way that is cognisant of this sort of risk. Each division may set a direction for micro-credentials within the broad outlines of this framework. Such divisional leadership, oversight and management of risk is important.

The remainder of this framework sets out the principles and processes that will govern the development of micro-credentials at the University of Otago.

Item 2 Micro-credentials Framework

1. Definition 1.1 A micro-credential has been defined by NZQA:

Micro-credentials are new stand-alone education products intended to enable learners to access specific knowledge and skills in a cost-effective and time-efficient way. They are smaller than qualifications and focus on skill development opportunities not currently catered for in the tertiary education system, and for which there is strong evidence of need by industry, employers, iwi and community.

1.2 A micro-credential will be a formally approved course of study of between 5 and 40 points.

2. Principles 2.1 The micro-credential certifies achievement of a coherent and self-contained set of

skills and knowledge that are not covered by an existing qualification.

2.2 There must be strong evidence of need by industry, employers, professional associations, iwi and/or other communities.

2.3 A micro-credential is a standalone course of study which a student must be enrolled in and successfully complete in order to be granted the award.

2.4 A micro-credential may be recognised for credit towards an existing qualification.

2.5 A micro-credential may not be gained through credit via formal prior learning i.e. via transfer of credit for an existing paper or component of an existing qualification.

2.6 The entry criteria must be in alignment with the level of the micro-credential and learning outcomes.

2.7 A micro-credential awarded by this University or other recognised provider may be eligible for credit transfer towards an existing qualification or used as part of a suite of evidence for meeting admission criteria.

2.8 A micro-credential that has not been offered for a period of three years will be automatically deleted; micro-credentials cannot be suspended.

3. Quality Assurance 3.1 A micro-credential must be approved by the relevant divisional board before being

submitted to the Board of Undergraduate Studies or Board of Graduate Studies for final approval.

3.2 A micro-credential must be evaluated each time it is offered using a range of evidence that includes some form of student evaluation.

3.3 A micro-credential will be approved for a period of three years before being subject to a Micro-credentials Review that will include: a brief description of the main

11

Page 22 of 128

highlights, successes, problems and challenges involved in teaching the micro-credential; an assessment of the quality of the micro-credential informed in part by student feedback; analysis of the number of enrolments; and a recommendation on continuance. A Micro-credentials Review report should be no more than three pages and should be supported by the relevant divisional board before the recommendation on continuance is considered by the Board of Undergraduate Studies or Board of Graduate Studies.

4. Certification 4.1 The certification of a micro-credential will follow the University’s guidelines and

include:

• The name and logo of the University • The title of the micro-credential • The credit points and level of the micro-credential.

5. Associated Documents and information

• NZQA Rules on Micro-credentials and Training Scheme Rules • CUAP Handbook Appendix H: Quality assurance of university courses and

programmes not leading to a qualification • Appendix 1: Universities New Zealand Guiding Principles

Appendix 1: Universities New Zealand Guiding Principles

Universities’ guiding principles: Micro-credentials April 2018

The following principles are designed to ensure the consistency and quality of university micro-credential offerings:

1. The university sector should only recognise and/or offer micro-credentials where five criteria are met:

a. Level – they have been objectively and consistently assessed as being at an appropriate level relative to the qualifications framework.

b. Credit – they have a credit value that has been derived consistent with the credit value of other comparable courses offered by universities.

c. Assessment – there are adequate mechanisms for verifying that students themselves have successfully completed necessary work and assessment.

d. Quality assurance – there is credible quality assurance behind the design, delivery, and assessment of whatever is being offered.

e. Industry, employer and community support - there is support from the relevant industries, employers or communities.

2. Micro-credentials may be used to award formal credit towards a university qualification. Published university policies on credit transfer limits will apply to credits from micro-credentials and credits from other sources.

3. Where universities offer micro-credentials:

a. The university should have a micro-credential framework detailing clear policies and procedures for developing micro-credentials, assessing their level and credit value, quality assuring them, and for delivering them and assessing skills and capabilities of students.

b. Universities should adhere to the ‘Quality assurance of university courses and programmes not leading to a qualification’ appendix of the CUAP Handbook in their development and approval of micro-credentials, along with other courses not leading to a qualification.

FINANCIAL REVIEW For The Period Ended 31 March 2019

Executive Summary The operating surplus for the three months ended 31 March 2019 was $185.3 million, which was $2.4 million higher than the budgeted surplus of $182.9 million.

The primary contributors to the positive variance against budget were reduced consumable and general expenditure and higher sundry income, partially offset by higher staff costs.

Liquidity continues to be strong and cash reserves are sufficient to meet the significant expenditure on major projects until November 2019. If capital projects continue to progress according to plan, then the University will need to have a borrowing facility in place by that time.

Tuition-related income is largely recognised in March and July at the time of first and second semester enrolments, rather than evenly throughout the year. This shows the impact of enrolment numbers as early as possible, allowing time for decisions to be made about the consequences of variances against income budgets. This phases the University surplus as shown in the graph above, with income being recognised early in the year.

The University has moved to preparing a rolling forecast throughout the year rather than providing a forecast to Council twice a year at a fixed point in time.

Subsequent to Council approving the 2019 budget in October a number of additional cost pressures have been identified. Some of these have been offset by staff vacancy savings, however management are now forecasting a reduced year end surplus as below.

Treasury Investment Income Investment income was $1.2 million year to date, this is $0.4 million ahead of budget. This is predominantly due to the higher cash balance as a result of slower than budgeted spending on capital projects last year. This is forecast to continue out to future months.

Cash balance Cash on hand is $0.7 million greater than budgeted. This results from a combination of later than budgeted expenditure on pay bargaining settlement and capital projects, offset by delayed government grant top up from 2018 and reduced commercial income.

The anticipated date when borrowing will be required has remained at November 2019.

Cash flow from operations is $116.1 million year to date, this is $4.2 million lower than budget as a result of a government grant income top up from 2018 being received later than budget, offset by reduced consumable and general expenditure.

Net cash outflow from investing is $34.5 million year to date. This is $4.9 million less than budget as a result of delays in expenditure on capital projects.

Capital Total capital expenditure year to date was $31.9 million. This is $9.9 million less than budget.

MEMORANDUM / MANATU To / Ki a University Council From / Nā Chris Stoddart, Registrar and Secretary to the Council Stephen Willis, Chief Operating Officer Dean Macaulay, Director Property Services Date / Te rā 6 May 2019 Subject / Te Kaupapa Proposed Traffic and Parking Regulations 2019 The Administration Statute 2011 states that a Board comprising the Chief Operating Officer, the Director of Property Services, and the Registrar and Secretary to the Council shall from time-to-time provide advice to the Council on the Traffic and Parking Regulations.

On 28 January 2019, the Vice-Chancellor’s Advisory Group discussed health and safety risks posed by e-scooters and other forms of transport on campus, including skateboards, bicycles and scooters. As part of these discussions, the Group endorsed bicycles and other forms of personal transport, such as skateboards and scooters, being treated the same in terms of rules for use on campus. An update on these matters was provided to the University Council at its meeting on 12 February 2019, and it was signalled that the Traffic and Parking Regulations would be revised in light of this.

Revisions to the Traffic and Parking Regulations have now been drafted.

The current Traffic and Parking Regulations 2014 and recommended Traffic and Parking Regulations 2019 are attached. The significant changes from the current regulations are as follows:

• Bicycles and ‘personal transport devices’ (scooters, skateboards, etc.), whether human- or electric-powered, are now classified together and treated the same.

• Prohibition of the use of bicycles and ‘personal transport devices’ on campus is now the default position, with the Director of Property Services able to designate areas where these may be used on campus [see clause 5.1].

• Exceptions have been specified for mobility devices (e.g. wheelchairs) [see clause 6].

• The section on parking has been expanded to cover storage of devices [see clause 9].

• A section on the charging of electric vehicles has been added [clause 10].

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The University of Otago enrolled 18,840 equivalent full-time students and employed 4,080 full-time equivalent staff in 2018 across its campus sites in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Invercargill, and through its Wellington and Auckland Centres. The Dunedin campus was by far the largest site, with around 92% of students and 87% of all staff situated there.

This report utilises a standard economic contribution methodology to estimate the economic impact of the University for 2018. Due to the assumptions and limitations underpinning such a model, these figures should be regarded as an indicative rather than a definitive picture of economic impact.

The report first considers the actual expenditure of the University, and the estimated expenditure of its staff and students. This results in an overall estimate of direct expenditure of $1.163 billion in 2018 (Table 1). The flow-on (or indirect) economic impact of the University is also assessed to take account of the downstream effects of direct expenditure.1 This results in an estimate of total expenditure (the global economic impact of the University’s activities) of $2.037 billion (this is first year in which the total expenditure measure has exceeded $2 billion for Otago).

The report also estimates the total value added (the value that remains in each of the University’s ‘local’ economies after economic leakages are taken into consideration)2, and the downstream employment effect of the University’s expenditure.3 For Dunedin, the total value added was estimated at $1.050 billion (this is first year in which the total value added has exceeded $1 billion for Dunedin).

There are many other economic, social and cultural benefits resulting from the presence of the University locations (examples include, but are not limited to; knowledge transfers, human and social capital enhancement). These benefits are more difficult to quantify, and fall outside the scope of this report.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1 For example, if the University purchases supplies from a local business, that business will in turn need to employ staff and purchase raw products from another supplier to meet this demand. This flow-on effect is estimated using standard economic multipliers, which are specific to the different cities and regions in which the University operates. 2 For example, in the case of an item purchased in a given area, but produced outside that area, some of the value of the item will flow outside the area. Based on input-output multipliers developed by Geoff Butcher and Associates, 2013 3 The report also includes assessments of direct value added and the direct employment impact. 4 Figures in the table may not sum due to rounding. 5 Due to a change in accounting treatments, the Wellington and Auckland centres are now grouped together. The Wellington Campus refers to delivery of teaching and research (and associated support).

1.1 BACKGROUND

This report estimates the economic impact of the University of Otago in 2018, based on an analysis of organisational, staff and student expenditure across all locations.

Employing 4,080 full-time equivalent staff in 2018, the University of Otago is one of New Zealand’s largest employers and is one of the largest in the South Island.6

The main academic and administrative centre for the University is the Dunedin campus, where around 92% of students and 86% of staff are based. The University of Otago also has campuses in Christchurch, Wellington and Invercargill, and facilities in Auckland and Wellington (separate to the Wellington campus).

The campuses at Christchurch and Wellington are key elements of the University’s Division of Health Sciences, providing clinical teaching for undergraduate students as well as conducting research and postgraduate teaching programmes. The Wellington City Office and Auckland Centre are facilities that support University activities, including student recruitment, research and enterprise, and continuing education and summer school programmes. The Southland campus in Invercargill provides a base for students taking qualifications in teacher education.

Overall University enrolments in 2018 totalled 18,457 EFTS (equivalent full-time students). 86% of students came to the University from outside Dunedin, with 59% from beyond the Otago/Southland region. More than one third of the University’s students (44%) came from the North Island, with a further 15% coming from overseas7.

1.2 OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGY

This report uses several data sources to estimate the direct and total expenditure effects of the University. In simple terms, the ‘direct economic impact’ highlights the amount of expenditure by the University, its staff and students. The ‘direct value added’ measure uses standard industry multipliers to estimate how much of this direct expenditure actually remains in each of the local economies. A ‘direct employment impact’ figure estimates the number of jobs that are supported by this direct expenditure.

The report also estimates the ‘total economic impact’ of the University. This involves analysing both the direct impact and also the flow-on effects of University expenditure by campus. Once again, standard industry multipliers are used to calculate these effects. The methodology for this report is described further in Appendix 1.

In this context ‘Campus’ and ‘Centre’ expenditure, value added, and employment measures show the flows and impacts of expenditure from the University and its staff into the economy. ‘Student’ expenditure, value added, and employment measures shows the flows and impacts of expenditure from students enrolled at the University.

2.1 DIRECT EXPENDITURE

Direct expenditure encompasses direct spending by the University, spending by staff (via salaries), plus an estimate of students’ expenditure during the academic year. In 2018 this expenditure across all campuses was $1.163 billion.

The large majority ($1.045 billion or 90%) of direct expenditure was driven through spending in Dunedin. Wellington and Christchurch each accounted for around 5% of direct expenditure, with Wellington and Auckland Centres and Invercargill at much lower levels (less than 1%).

2.2 DIRECT VALUE ADDED

8 Figures in the table may not sum due to rounding. 9 The Direct Expenditure, Value Added and Employment Impact figures relate to Auckland students only. Wellington Centre students appear in the ‘Wellington Students’ total.

Page 56 of 128

Direct value added is an estimate of the true value that remains in an economy after economic leakages are taken into consideration. The level of value added by this direct expenditure can be estimated using standard multipliers from input-output tables.

By far the largest amount of direct value added was the $605.3 million directly attributable to expenditure in Dunedin (Table 2); $34.5 million was generated in Christchurch and $19.4 million in Wellington. Activity in Invercargill contributed $1.5 million, and the Wellington and Auckland Centres contributed $0.3 million.

A total figure for direct value added is not supplied, as it does not allow for expenditure that might flow between the campus cities or direct value added that benefits other cities and regions that do not contain a University of Otago campus.

2.3 DIRECT EMPLOYMENT IMPACT

12,165 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs were supported throughout the economy (across all locations) as a result of direct expenditure by the University of Otago in 2018. This highlights the significant impact the institution has on the wider economy, not only through employment at the University itself, but also through employment resulting from direct expenditure effects.

The Dunedin economy had 10,978 FTE jobs supported through direct University expenditure in 2018, while Christchurch and Wellington supported considerable employment, at 594 and 553 FTEs respectively. The impact on Invercargill and the Wellington and Auckland Centres was less significant, at 34 and 6 FTE jobs respectively.

3.0 TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT

Direct expenditure also creates ‘indirect’ and ‘induced’ spending in the economy as businesses purchase goods and services from supplying industries to meet the demand created by the University, its staff and students. This spending creates more household expenditure as workers employed within these supporting industries spend their salaries and wages in the local economy. These effects can be seen through measures of total expenditure, total value added and total employment impact as summarised in Table 3 below.

Table 3: Total Expenditure, Value Added and Employment Impact by Campus, 201810

3.1 TOTAL EXPENDITURE

Total expenditure arising from all campuses in 2018 is estimated at $2.037 billion, with the Dunedin campus accounting for 88%, or $1.801 billion, of the University’s total economic impact.

Over one-third (38%) of the total expenditure across all campuses was driven by the impact of student spending. The remaining 62% was from day-to-day University expenditure and the impact of staff spending their wages and salaries within their local economies.

10 Figures in table may not sum due to rounding. 11 The Direct Expenditure, Value Added and Employment Impact figures relate to Auckland students only. Wellington Centre students appear in the ‘Wellington Students’ total.

Page 58 of 128

3.2 TOTAL VALUE ADDED

Total value added (or GDP) is an estimate of the total value that remains in a local economy after economic leakages are taken into consideration. An overall figure for total value added is deemed not applicable for two reasons. Firstly, because adding the campuses and centres together will overestimate ‘total value added’ due to leakages between the regions. Secondly, because simply adding the five campuses and centres would also exclude the flow-on benefits to other non-campus cities and regions that may produce goods and services utilised by the University of Otago.

As shown in Table 3, $1.050 billion of total value added was generated in Dunedin, while $67.4 million was generated in Christchurch and $30.2 million in Wellington. Activity in Invercargill added a total value of $2.3 million to that city, while the Wellington and Auckland Centres had a $0.5 million impact.

3.3 TOTAL EMPLOYMENT IMPACT

It is estimated that the flow-on effects of expenditure by the University and its staff and students are sufficient to support 18,045 FTE jobs across New Zealand. Within this total, it is estimated that 16,265 FTE jobs were supported within Dunedin’s economy, 892 within Christchurch, and 830 within Wellington. The Southland campus in Invercargill generated activity to support 48 FTE jobs, and 10 FTE jobs were attributable to the economic impact of the Wellington and Auckland Centres.

4.0 CONCLUSION

The University of Otago contributes very significantly to the Dunedin economy and also makes a valuable contribution to the other cities in which it has a presence. While expenditure by the University and its staff and students has a direct influence on local economic development, the wider flow-on effects are even greater. The impacts are far-reaching across many sectors of the economy, with the institution and its staff and students spending widely in local businesses. This in turn creates additional activity as these businesses then purchase further goods and services to meet this demand.

This report has estimated the considerable economic impact of the activities of the University of Otago at its different locations. This impact is most pronounced in Dunedin, where the institution plays a fundamental role in the ongoing vitality of the city’s economy.

There are many other economic, social and cultural benefits resulting from the presence of the University locations (e.g. knowledge transfers, human and social capital enhancement). These benefits are more difficult to quantify, and fall outside the scope of this report.

APPENDIX 1: METHODOLOGY NOTES

The analysis in this report uses standard industry input-output multipliers, developed by Geoff Butcher and Associates, to quantify in monetary terms the flows of goods and services between the University of Otago (including its staff and students) and other sectors of the economy. In 2013, the University commissioned updated multipliers which are used to calculated total expenditure, value added measures, and employment impact measures. The updating of multipliers has impacted the analysis, resulting in the economic impact figures reported since 2013 are not directly comparable to those reported in 2012 and earlier.

The data sources contributing to this analysis include:

• Actual University expenditure for each campus in the year ended 31 December 2018, including expenditure on staff salaries, but less scholarships paid to students; and

• Estimated annual student expenditure – derived from a combination of estimated expenditure on accommodation and estimated living costs, sourced from a 2017 New Zealand Union of Students Association study as well as the University of Otago’s Accommodation Office sample budget 2017.12

Multipliers relevant to the nature of expenditure by the University were used to develop an estimate of the economic impact (e.g. education-related costs, staff and student consumption expenditure). Multipliers were sourced for Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington Campuses. In the absence of specific multipliers, Dunedin Campus multipliers were used for Invercargill, and the Wellington Campus multipliers were used for the Wellington and Auckland Centres.

The analysis is expressed through two main 'types' of multipliers. Type I multipliers include the 'direct' effect on output in the industry which experiences an exogenous increase in demand and the 'indirect' effect resulting from the need for all other industries to produce more inputs for that industry. Type II multipliers include an additional effect, the so-called 'induced-income' effect. This arises because as businesses produce more output, households receive more income (i.e. workers receive wages, investors receive dividends, etc.), which they in turn spend on consumer items within an economy. Therefore total output in the industries that produce these other goods also rises.

It is also possible to calculate both the direct and total value added to an economy (the latter is similar to local gross domestic product, or GDP), from any additional expenditure. This calculation typically excludes leakages that occur within an economy.

Lastly, the estimated number of additional full-time equivalent jobs created in the economy as a result of increased output is identified. This measure illustrates how many jobs are likely to be supported (or generated) by expenditure. The multipliers quantify the impact of inter-industry linkages within an economy. For example, for every $1 million of gross output in industry ‘y’, a further ‘x’ number of jobs are created in industries that supply goods and services to industry ‘y’. The number of downstream jobs is expressed as full-time equivalents for one year.

VICE- CHANCELLOR’S REPORT TO THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL (Part 1)

7 May 2019

Topical Issues Performance Based Research Fund Quality Evaluation The University of Otago’s focus on excellence has been reaffirmed by the announcement on 30 April 2019 of the 2018 Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) Quality Evaluation. The assessment reveals a 30 per cent increase in the number of A-rated staff at the University, along with strong increases across the other research grades. These results show that Otago students, stakeholders and members of the public continue to have significant access to world-class researchers, many of whom are also world-leading teachers. University of Otago Excellence in Teaching Awards On 30 April 2019, just 45 minutes before retiring after 32 years at the University of Otago, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Vernon Squire presented the 2019 Otago Excellence in Teaching Awards. Awards went to Associate Professor Ben Schonthal, Department of Religion; Dr David McMorran, Department of Chemistry; Nicola Beatson, Department of Accountancy and Finance; and Dr Anne-Marie Jackson, School of Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences (Kaupapa Māori Teaching Award). United States Senate Delegation Five members of the United States Senate visited the University of Otago in April to hear about research undertaken by Otago which was of interest to both New Zealand and the United States. Vice-Chancellor’s visit to Samoa and Fiji It was my pleasure to attend 150th anniversary alumni events in Samoa and Fiji in early April 2019. During my visits I also met with Pacific leaders at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji National University and Piula Theological College. Waste Management Initiative (addressing the Sustainability Strategic Framework) In moving towards the University’s target of halving its waste to landfill by 2021 compared to the 2012 baseline, the University has signed up to a unique collaborative waste management contract effective from 1 March 2019. The contract includes adding a food waste processor to the Dunedin campus, having electric collection vehicles and establishing an annual scholarship for waste minimisation initiatives. A recycling system for staff offices is also to be rolled out across the University this year where staff will deliver waste to a station of bins for paper, glass, other recycling and general waste rather than putting all waste into one rubbish bin.
