The University Leadership Group (ULG)
The University Leadership Group (ULG) meets on a regular basis in order to share information amongst the senior leadership group and provide advice to the Vice-Chancellor. The ULG is not constituted as a formal committee of the Academic Senate or University Council, it is established as an advisory group that may consider strategic and risk matters, policies and other matters of high importance, some of which may then be progressed to Senate and/or Council or its committees as appropriate.
The main roles of the meetings of the University Leadership Group are to:
- Consider matters that refine and focus the strategic direction of UOW and prioritise operational decisions according to this framework.
- Review any significant emerging risks and/or issues
- Consider and provide advice on emerging business activities, and ensure these are appropriately endorsed by the relevant executive sponsor.
- Act as a conduit of information and provide a forum for open discussion and mutual support.
The University Leadership Group meets on a monthly basis with meetings scheduled 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm (AEST) on the last Monday of each month.
Where technical presentations or complex issues are being discussed, senior line managers may be permitted to attend for the item.
Any papers for ULG meetings will be circulated to members one week prior to the meeting. Papers should be completed and submitted to the ULG Executive Officer.
