Academic Board

The Education and Training Act 2020 requires the University Council to establish an academic board to advise Council on matters relating to courses of study or training, awards, and other academic matters.

Objectives

To support Council in fulfilling its legislated functions and duties, the Academic Board will regularly provide opportunities for reflection, debate and academic policy-formation focused on those things that have significant implications for teaching and learning, and research and the sustainability of the University.

These include Massey's:

• values
• strategic direction
• policies and practices
• student voice.

The Academic Board will demonstrate leadership in working to build the foundations for a Tiriti-led University environment and develop an understanding of what being Tiriti-led means within the context of the Board’s responsibilities, as the University moves toward the enactment of Te Tiriti in practice.

Current membership

Here is the current membership of the Academic Board – 34 members.
