More Autonomy For Universities
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A decision that will give greater autonomy to the Dominion’s university colleges was reached at a meeting of the New Zealand University Senate. The meeting was almost unanimously in agreement with proposals that called for: (1) Detailed prescriptions for arts, science and music courses by individual colleges; (2) the setting of separate papers in all subjects and at all stages in these courses by each college (or for any group of. colleges if so desired by the group); (3) the holding of purely internal examinations in stages 1 and 2 of the B.A. and the B.Sc. courses. Various other measures were adopted to ensure that although individual syllabuses might differ, the standard of attainment for a degree from each college would be uniform. The senate agreed that consideration of further proposals for entirely separate universities should be postponed until the effects of yesterday’s recommendations had been observed.
