HeadsUp

Good news

Good news is always the best news, especially in these ominous times. I’m therefore grateful to Murray Ford for keeping a vigilant eye on how our suite of first year course are tracking. He notes that 254 students have taken 2 or more ENV10X courses and 35 have taken all four courses. These are not only great numbers; they also speak to a student cohort engaging with a school-wide curriculum that promises, regardless of their ultimate major, a breadth of exposure to context. By way of comparison, in 2024 only 2 students took Geog 101,102, Envsci 101 and Earthsci 120. An ongoing well-done to all involved in the development and delivery of these courses. Elsewhere, others in the Faculty are watching with admiration and interest.

ENV in the media

It’s been another good fortnight for our School in the media. Jen Eccles offered expert comment on the magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck in far Eastern Russia and had our phones buzzing with tsunami emergency warnings. And Nick Lewis offered a Newsroom commentary reflecting on ideas gleaned at the Institute of Australian Geographers conference last month. Perhaps whether via in-School talks or in the media we should be doing more of this. There’s an indirect public investment in our conference participation, after all. (Newsroom – What NZ’s industrial policy can learn from the Aussies)

Outreach

I am often reminded of the efforts that go on behind the scenes and without a big fanfare. On Tuesday last week, for instance, there was the first lecture of a yearly series of events for the Year 13 Scholarship Geography students in partnership with the Auckland Geography Teachers Association (AGTA) organised by JC Gaillard. There were about 50 students from 13 schools from all around Auckland. Just one example of doubtless many. Thanks to all who promote the School, often out of regular working hours and sometimes off-campus.

Chemical waste responsibility

Thanks to our technical services team we are about to make a considerable saving and see the equivalent of the common exhortation in parks to deal with your own litter. Starting this year, the cost of disposing chemical waste—including old chemicals and sensitive substances that must be disposed of annually—will be charged to the account of the student, their supervisor, or the associated research project. We want to move away from the School paying for research chemical disposal (a process that costs ENV around $20-$30k per year) and return responsibility to those who purchases the chemical(s). Reasonable? I think so.

A new Deputy Head

I’m pleased to announce that Mila Adam has agreed to take up the position of Deputy Head (DHoS Teaching and Learning) from later this year. We are still working through details but am grateful that Mila will join the leadership team, bringing her enthusiasm and passion for innovative teaching to the role. I hope to recruit a third DHoS (in this case Research) later this year.

All-staff meeting

The next staff meeting will be on Wednesday 17th September (meeting then kai) – a little delayed due to first my absence (Tom Baker will kindly be Acting HoS 18 August – 3 September) then second graduation.

Kōrero Mai, staff engagement survey

A reminder that an invitation to participate will arrive today, Monday 4th Please be generous with your time and willingness to participate. The results will be a useful barometer for us as a School.

Have great fortnight.

Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa | Massey University Tertiary Educators Survey

We are a group of researchers from Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa | Massey University undertaking a national survey exploring how tertiary educators in Aotearoa New Zealand understand and apply hope in their teaching practice. Whether you see hope as central to your pedagogy or view it more critically, we’re interested in your experience.

Take the survey now by following this link:  Educator Hope in Higher Education Survey

Please feel free to share this invitation with your networks.

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes and is anonymous. It asks about your views on hope, how (or whether) you use it in your teaching, and what supports or challenges your ability to teach with hope.

All responses are confidential and de-identified. No personal or identifying information will be linked to your responses. At the end of the survey, you may choose to enter a draw for one of five $50 grocery vouchers; entry is completely optional and your contact details will be kept separate from your survey data.

The research team consists of staff at Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa | Massey University, with expertise in sociology, digital education, planning, and critical pedagogies. 

Thank you for considering being part of this project. We appreciate your time and insights!

 

We would like to thank our advisory panel for their input into this survey, particularly Associate Professor Te Hurunui Clarke (Te Arawa, Ngāi Tahu), University of Waikato.

Any questions? Feel free to contact us at hopeinhighered@gmail.com

We are looking for volunteers for the following areas: sewing, electrical (must be qualified electrician), electronics assessment, general (such as bike repairs, chairs, woodwork etc), jewellery and any other skills!

The event will likely be hosted one afternoon either the 14^th or 15^th October at the City Campus. Final details TBC.

 

If you are interested in finding out more information and to volunteer, please send an email to foed-sustainability@auckland.ac.nz and the team will send through details.

Hono data integration are impacting research projects

Do you have research grants? Do you, or a member of your research team, use EIP dashboards to monitor your research funds or Research Development Account (RDA)? If so, please read on.

Recent challenges with Hono data integration are impacting research projects. As a result, EIP dashboards are not correctly reflecting actual salary costs from 20 February, casual staff payments, or future-dated salary commitments. All other actual transactions are correct, however, the left-to-spend balances may not be correct. 

What does this mean?

1. EIP reports should not be used to confirm a project’s financial status until further notice, as salary details in EIP reports for pay runs after 20 Feb 2025 are not yet available.
2. Research Development Account (RDA) balances may not be correct, particularly if fixed-term or casual staff are being paid from the RDA account. 
3. Surpluses or deficits on research grants cannot be resolved until the balances can be confirmed, so projects ending after 20 Feb 2025 cannot be closed. 
4. Surpluses or deficits will not be distributed to, or recovered from, RDA accounts (or returned to funders) for projects ending after 20 Feb 2025 until accurate balances can be confirmed. 

Resolutions and Timeframes 

A Solution Oversight Co-ordination (SOC) Team has been formed and includes a range of experts who understand the issues and the impacts. Members have been drawn from Research Services, OneFinance, HR, Integration Specialists, Vendors, the Risk Team, and the Planning and Information Office to find solutions to the identified issues.  Alongside the SOC Team, several continuity groups (including a research continuity group) are working on specific outcomes, the teams meet daily and report to SOC. The Solution Oversight Coordination Team are in the process of identifying and quantifying the risks around these and implementing mitigation strategies.

Please be assured we’ll be providing regular progress updates to the Faculties and Institutes. In the meantime, if you have an urgent query related to your project financials, please contact your Faculty or Institute Research Services Team in the first instance.
