A BILL to amend the University’s foundation and endowment legislation was passed by State Parliament in late 2000 and proclaimed on 13 January 2001.

Most significantly, the amendments—

  • reconstitute the Senate to represent the University and wider communities more equitably;

  • enable the Senate to select a Chancellor from its members or externally;

  • repeal the University’s endowment acts and permit the University to invest endowment funds prudently as trust funds in land and other investments; 

  • give the Governor a discretion whether he acts as Visitor to the University in any matter, bringing the University in line with the other WA public universities.

A staff member has appealed to the Full Court of the Federal Court from the September 1999 decision of a single judge in that Court that the certified workplace agreement relating to the University’s academic staff was not unconstitutional or otherwise not binding on him. A decision is awaited. If successful, the claim would affect enterprise bargaining in the entire national tertiary sector and beyond.

In accordance with Section 175ZE of the Electoral Act of 1907 the University is required to report on details of media and advertising expenditure incurred during each year. In 2000 the University spent $3,044,994.98 on these items with the following organisations:
