The Appeals and Review Processes for Western Australian Universities

Public Administration Committee (1996 - 2001)· 1 June 2000review_report

This 2000 WA parliamentary report examines appeals and review processes for WA universities, focusing on the role of the University Visitor. It finds the Visitor role inefficient, outdated, and recommends its abolition. The report suggests the WA Ombudsman, potentially with a panel of experts, as a more effective alternative.

Impact

Students, academic staff, and universities in Western Australia will be affected by changes to dispute resolution processes. The WA Ombudsman's office will likely see an increase in workload.
