Advisory Council

Now more than ever, it is vital that we are able to share leading management thinking from the academic community more widely.

This new Academic Advisory Council is a valuable new forum for raising the profile and uptake of academic research among practicing professionals.  The Council will also help to further develop UKAP’s own academic agenda and champion collaboration between the Institute and business schools and other higher education institutions.

Chaired by Dr. Anthony John Baker, the Council is composed of prominent thought leaders from universities and business schools.

The Council currently has five members which meet a minimum of four times during each calendar year to discuss certain policy issues which directly affect the membership and its operations. These five committees are Business Practices, Education Enhancement and Evaluation, Financial Review, Institutional Effectiveness, and Professional Development Programmes.

Listed below is a description of the five committees:

These mission of the Business Practices Committee is to identify and promote qualitative business practices of career colleges and schools, to ensure integrity and ethical relations, and to foster cooperation among institutions on behalf of students and others served.

The mission of the Education Enhancement and Evaluation Committee is to establish and continuously review standards for the educational quality that assist institutions in mission fulfillment, program planning and development, institutional evaluation activities, and successful educational outcomes.

The mission of the Financial Review Committee is to monitor the financial stability of member institutions in order to ensure they maintain sufficient financial resources to deliver qualitative education to their students.

The mission of the Institutional Effectiveness Committee is to assist institutions in the improvement of their outcomes by establishing and assessing criteria for institutional effectiveness. In order to assist ACICS-accredited institutions in meeting established standards, the committee shall review Annual Institutional Reports, Institutional Effectiveness Plans, and institutional outcomes and measurements.

The mission of the Professional Development Programmes is to develop and implement standards and procedures to assess educational quality when utilizing nontraditional education delivery methods (i.e., distance learning, self-paced instruction, and independent study).

The impact of Professional status:

• Member is recognised as a valued professional in its own right.

• The Association is the pre-eminent authority for the professional.

• Members accept the responsibilities placed upon them to maintain the currency of their skills and competences.

The fact that it is the only body which may award the designation of Professionals is crucial importance to the UKAP’s status.

The Advisory Council consists of:

• President

• President Elect

• Immediate Past President

• Chief Executive

• 5 nationally elected members

As well as fulfilling the statutory requirements as Advisory Council considers and approves the strategic objectives of the Advisory Council and monitors their implementation.
