Main Objectives

 All academics are responsible for the dissemination of knowledge (teaching and learning), creation of knowledge (research), community engagement, and professional involvement in their field beyond the university, recognising that there are differences in the execution of these responsibilities within the various departments and Faculties.  Academics are also expected to assume some administrative, management, and/or leadership duties at the departmental, Faculty, and/or University level. 

In addition, a Professor and Associate Professor are to provide academic leadership in the following areas: teaching and learning, research, professional involvement in the field, and community engagement, as well as to contribute towards the governance of the institution. This leadership contribution of the Professor should be evidenced at the departmental, Faculty and institutional levels.
