Dear Lesley,
Released
I wanted to keep you up to date with developments. We have appointed an
academic advisor to the programme, Dr. Pauline McCabe, a qualified
naturopath, nurse, and educator, who works for RMIT in Melbourne. I have
attached her CV for you to peruse. We are working through the curriculum
and the other requirements and hope to have a revised application back
under
to you by mid July.
the
Thanking you for your patience.

Dear Philip
I have been away on another degree panel, so I am just picking up your messages now. Sorry about that.
I am pleased to hear about the work that you and your team are doing on the degree application. The time frame is
yours and as I have always said, take your time and get it right. I was also pleased to hear that you are working on the
MOU with AUT.
I hope that your time away goes well - and is relaxing!
Thank you for yor update.
Kind regards
Lesley

Dear Lesley,
Released
I left a message on your answerphone the other day and am just following
up with an email. The task is proving to be greater than I envisaged and
I will not be able to guarantee sending this in before the end of
September now. In part this is because I am away fro 6 weeks from the
18th July, and in part because we need to do this thoroughly and well
and that will take time. Pauline is still engaged in the process and
under
will assist us until the end of the process. She has completed a draft
report and her final report should be ready for me to send to you, along
with an action plan, by next week. Meantime we are working hard on the
the
curriculum issues, as well as developing a business and staffing plan to
address the resource issues. We are also engaged in discussions with AUT
Official
re an MOU that will address those concerns of the panel as well. An MOU
has been drafted for discussion. This has been done in accordance with
NZQA requirements, as per the document I received some months ago.
Information
Hope this keeps you updated. Please don't hesitate to contact me if
there are any questions around this.
Act
Thanking you for your patience. I know this is taking some time, but we

wish to get it right and that requires ensuring that we have covered all
the bases.

Hello Phillip
Good to hear from you and to receive an update on progress. Pity about AUT but I hope that you are able to finalise the
arrangement with Unitec satisfactorily.
No, you do not need to send financial projections to all panel members - just to Candis and me will be fine. The panel
will seek general assurance however that you are able to sustain the programme.
You will need to send copies to all panel members eventually, but just send one to me and to Candis first. Candis and I
will confer about the process (probably a night and one full day). I'll then check that the panel is all available (and find a
replacement for Simeon if he is no longer here - you may wish to think about that). After that I will then ask you to send
the copies to the rest of the panel, but we'll talk with you before that. Just send copies to Candis and me in the first
instance.
Kind regards
Lesley

Hi Lesley
Released
This application almost ready for resubmission. Part of the delay has
been because of the different landscape in terms of AUT now having a
funding cap, which has meant that they have not been able to accommodate
under
a collaboration in terms of our students attending courses with them.
This has led to the College pursuing other options, which narrowed down
to working with the Osteopathic Section of the School of Health Studies
the
at Unitec. Whilst I am still continuing my discussions with Unitec, it
looks promising. We will probably have a subcontracting type of
Official
arrangement with a fall back position to delivering those selected
components ourselves, as we are more than capable of doing, but would
prefer to collaborate if possible. I hope to be able to finalise the
major part of the documents by the end of next week and have them to the
Information
panel early the week after (around the 19th - 20th November). I do have
a question though, do we need to send copies of the Financial
Projections to all the panel members? I would prefer not to, as this is
commercially sensitive material and I think that Candis Craven is the
person most likely to assess that part. We are happy to send that part
to Candis and yourself for the records.
Act 1982
Also, do you require us to send copies to all the panel members? I know
that Simeon is no longer in the country. Some direction on this would be
good.
Thanking you.

Subject:FW: SUBCONTRACTING
Hi,
Just wanted to know if you would be able to help us with any information
on subcontracting.
We are planning to introduce a degree programme next year. Portions of
the course will be provided by another education institution.
What formalities are involved in order for us to achieve this.
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
