ATEM Honorary Fellow

Rationale

The Constitution of the Association for Tertiary Education Management (ATEM) allows for the award of a limited number of Honorary Fellowships to recognise significant contributions to tertiary education administration and management, or for recognising the contributions of persons in positions of responsibility and influence within ATEM. The aim of this section of the Guidelines to the Constitution is to recognise members or non-members who, in a distinguished career, have made a significant contribution to tertiary education administration and management over an extended period of time.

The proposal to have ATEM Honorary Fellowships reflects the change in the focus and name of the Association during 1997 and 1998. Fellowships awarded by ATEM's antecedent organisation, AITEA, will continue to be recognised for administrators and managers and recipients may continue to use the postnominal "FAITEA".

Criteria for ATEM Honorary Fellowships

The following criteria will be considered when deciding whether any person should be recommended for the award of an Honorary Fellowship of ATEM.

A person receiving such an award is entitled to use the letters "HonATEMF".

  • To be considered for an Honorary Fellowship of ATEM, a person must have been active in tertiary education administration and management for a period of not less than 10 years. During this period, the person must have demonstrated significant commitment to the aims and objectives supported by ATEM and its predecessor, AITEA, and have been actively involved in advancing tertiary education administration and management, including the active support of other administrators and managers to improve their professional development.
  • The contribution made by the person must be judged by the selection committee as having been significant to the development of tertiary education administration and management over an extended period of time.
  • The award of Honorary Fellow may be made to an ATEM member or non-member, and may be awarded to a person who meets the criteria but who is no longer working within tertiary education.

HISTORY: The award of ATEM Honorary Fellow has been made to Maree Conway (1999), Peter Karmel (2000), Richard Easther (2001) and Don McNicol (2002), Grant Harman (2005), Tom Gregg (2006
