Summary of Changes from Previous Version

As part of the review of Academic Honorary Titles, the Honorary Awards Policy and Procedure were consequentially amended to support a consolidated governance model. To address existing inconsistencies in approval pathways and strengthen alignment with institutional priorities, oversight and decision-making for all key honorary academic appointments will be centralised through the Academic Honorary Appointments Committee (AHAC). This revised policy gives effect to this model.
