LETTER TO STAFF NEWS
Until this year there were six disabled spaces on the ground level of parking station E1, and I recall no occasion in recent years when more than three of these spaces were occupied, even during peak teaching periods. Early last month three ordinary spaces were converted into two more disabled spaces. The result, on several days in January, was that every ordinary space was occupied while all eight disabled spaces were empty – along with up to seven empty disabled spaces in the adjacent C3 parking station. All drivers on campus deserve consideration, which surely includes the intelligent allocation of restricted spaces. Michael Edgeloe
RESPONSE FROM BUILDING AND GROUNDS
Following the review the dedicated spaces for persons with disability have been conveniently re-located under cover and near major routes for ease and safe access to campus. Relocation of these parking spaces may give some members of the University community the perception that additional under-utilised parking spaces have been unnecessarily provided. The University, however, has met its statutory obligations and would not hesitate to increase the numbers should the University deem it necessary. Robert Kelly

Introduction to the General Staff Performance Management System
In accordance with the Macquarie University Enterprise Agreement 2000-2003, the Macquarie University Performance Management System will be implemented for General Staff in the year 2002. These two-hour sessions are designed:
There will be six information sessions held between February and July 2002, open to all general staff and interested academic staff. Date: Monday 11 March
Use and Care of Animals in Research and Teaching Projects This workshop is open to academic staff and postgraduate students conducting research involving the care and use of animals. We strongly encourage supervisors who are responsible for advising students who will be conducting research involving the care and use of animals to attend this workshop. It covers research AND teaching projects. This workshop has been designed to provide participants with up-to-date information about the relevant legislative and policy frameworks within which researchers and institutions must operate with regard to research involving the care and use of animals and to update participants on the policies and procedures of the Animal Ethics Committee. Discussion and questions from participants are encouraged, regarding general issues, particular teaching or research projects or ethics applications. Case studies will be used to illustrate issues of concern. Participants will also be encouraged to think more broadly about what it means to be an ethical researcher and information will be provided as to the relevant external and internal policies and guidelines covering this area. The workshop will involve short presentations from the Chair of the Animal Ethics Committee and the Research Ethics Officer, as well as ample opportunities for open discussion and questions. Lunch will be provided.
Making Work Work for Me and Others Program: Introductory Information Session This new and innovative program consists of 11 sessions and is designed to support General Staff HEW levels 2-5 in being successful and inspired at work. After a short introductory information session on 13 March, those who
choose to participate in the 11-session program will be working on the
following broad topics:
· Customer service: who are our customers? Serving them
with excellence is important to Macquarie and to each of us. Why is that?
You will get a chance to practise great customer service in reality;
· Working in a team: some teams work really well, others don't. Why is that? We will look intensively at the influence individuals and their styles have on the team, and how you can capitalise on them; · Making it real: individual and group support in achieving what you see as possible to put into daily practice from attending this program. A certificate of completion, which outlines the skills that participants have explored and developed from this program, will be given to those who attend at least nine of the eleven sessions. Places are limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Wednesday 13 March
Facilitator: Mariejosee Shurey-Boesten Date: Wednesday 13 March
