Development of the Institutional Review
Manual for Private University Title
At its meeting on 9 June 2015, the Executive Council advised and
the Chief Executive (CE) ordered that self-financing post-secondary
education institutions registered under the Post Secondary
Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320) (the Ordinance) should meet a
number of criteria before making an application for university title for
consideration by the CE in Council. One of them is that an applicant
operator has to have successfully gone through an Institutional
Review conducted by HKCAAVQ to demonstrate its fundamental
ability to meet the standards expected of a university in terms of
governance and management, financial sustainability, academic
environment, quality assurance (QA) and research capability.
In July 2015, HKCAAVQ was commissioned by the Education Bureau
(EDB) to develop a manual for the reference of relevant institutions
planning to undertake the Institutional Review for Private University
Title (IR) requirements for annual progress reports and audited
financial reports. In January 2016, a draft
Institutional Review Manual
for Private University Title (IR Manual)
was developed by HKCAAVQ
following the requirements laid down in the
Roadmap for Becoming
a Private University
and taking into account the feedback provided
by institutions registered under Cap 320 during a preliminary
consultation conducted in November 2015.
In February 2016, HKCAAVQ invited all post-secondary institutions
registered under Cap 320 to a face-to-face consultation session to
share their views on the draft
IR Manual
. Eight of the nine institutions
attended the consultation. Based on the feedback gathered, the draft
IR Manual
was finalised and approved by the HKCAAVQ Council at
its meeting in March 2016 for publication in April 2016.
