Griffith University Review Framework
Griffith first introduced its regular, five-yearly, systematic, independent reviews of current activity and future plans for academic and administrative areas in 2003.
The University Reviews Policy provides the overarching framework for the conduct of organisational-wide reviews and cements their role as a core part of the University’s planning and quality frameworks.
Reviews play an important role in fostering quality management and continuous improvement and are undertaken to improve the planning and performance of elements. Reviews, through a continuing cycle of self-assessment, benchmarking, critical reflection, forward planning and external/internal peer review, examine how the element can contribute most effectively to the achievement of the University’s strategic goals and objectives.
The process is guided by:
Review Schedules
The University will commence its second cycle of five-yearly organisational reviews from 2010 – 2014 cycle (PDF 76k). The second review cycle ensures that all academic schools and administrative divisions are reviewed, while having flexibility to undertake thematic reviews as external factors or organisational requirements necessitate.
The 2004 – 2009 cycle (PDF 70k) will conclude at the end of 2009 having undertaken a total of 26 reviews, in addition to preparations for the 2008 Australian University Quality Agency Audit . The following reviews were undertaken in 2009: Office of External Relations (March) and the Griffith Graduate Research School (November).
Reports and Plans
At the conclusion of each review, a Review Report is prepared along with the Head of Element’s Implementation Plan for approval by University Council. For cycle 2 reviews, a final 18 month progress report demonstrating evidence of progress in implementing review recommendations is required. These reports and plans are available to Griffith users only via the Griffith Portal.
