Senator Carr
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Training and Youth Affairs, upon notice, on Monday, 5 March 2001:
Dr John Walsh of Brannagh has claimed that the standards criteria applied to Greenwich University were different to other universities and that no Australian university would have met these criteria: is this true; if so, why.
Senator Ellison (Minister for Justice and Customs)
—The Minister for Education, Training and Youth Affairs has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:
The criteria developed for the review of Greenwich University were based on criteria used by higher education recognition and accreditation authorities in the States and Territories. The committee deliberated at length over these criteria as it was necessary to allow for the fact that Greenwich University operates totally in the distance education mode. Greenwich University was given an opportunity to comment on the criteria at the beginning of the review.
The committee was informed by the assessment of the three discipline areas. Each of the discipline panels applied the criteria used in their respective States to applications by universities for self-accrediting status. The standards applied in Queensland for financial analysis were provided to the firm that undertook the review of Greenwich University's financial position.
The standards criteria were not, therefore, different from those applied to other universities.
