Academic Staff Development in Australia in the 1990:
A Government-driven Quality Agenda
Summary
This paper discusses the impact of the Australian Government's higher education policy on university policy and higher education research and development activities. The new quality agenda of the Department for Employment, Education and Training (DEET) can be integrated with the original idea of the university and its educational principles. This is illustrated by examples of major DEET-funded staff development programs for senior academic and administrative staff at seven universities in Queensland. These staff development programs are characterised by a multiplier effect, action research and an organisational culture which recognises and rewards quality and excellence not only in research, but also in teaching and management.
