With Logan fast approaching its tenth birthday, a Logan Task Force was established to take stock of what has been achieved at the Logan campus over the past eight years, and to consider the future direction of the campus.

The Task Force, comprising Senior Executive Staff across Academic, Administrative and Service elements of the University, was convened to examine the current program offerings at Logan campus and recommend principles that should guide the development of the campus program profile, changes to the current set of programs, and possible initiatives which should be explored.

The Task Force consulted widely with a broad range of University staff, and local education, industry and community groups including Government and service agencies, schools, TAFE, local businesses, and the Logan Office of Economic Development. Logan Campus staff, the Logan Academic Advisory Group, and the Logan Campus Development Group were invited to address the Task Force to assist with its deliberations.

The review was intended to take into account the current and foreseeable patterns of student demand for undergraduate and postgraduate program offerings, and of existing and planned research activities at Logan, examining in each case the appropriate mix of campus-specific and cross-campus programs and to recommend an overall strategy for Logan campus that demonstrates a campus identity and a clear articulation with other campuses of the University, including the development of pathway or enabling programs that articulate into Griffith programs at other campuses; to examine existing campus outreach and partnership arrangements and recommend changes necessary to ensure improved student demand; and examine the existing and potential contribution of Logan campus to the University's internationalisation strategies, and make recommendations accordingly.

The Task Force will report to Executive Group by no later than the end of May 2006.
