CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY

In reply to Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (8 November 2010) (First Session).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development): I have been advised of the following:

CMU-A's 2012 enrolment figure is 114. Recruitment is currently underway for the May and August 2012 intakes, which is expected to increase this figure.

CMU-A's annual enrolment levels since 2006 are as follows:

2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
55 76 108 114 113 115


A total of 34 students graduated in 2011. Following the December 2011 graduation, CMU-A has graduated a total of 232 students since establishing the campus in 2006.

There are no plans to provide State Government funding above or beyond the capped funding outlined in CMU-A's current Assistance Agreement which expires in 2014.

The 2010-14 Assistance Agreement with CMU-A requires that the State's Representative meet regularly with CMU-A's representative, and that the parties work cooperatively together to optimise CMU-A's performance.

All funding provided to CMU-A by the State Government is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2006-10 and 2010-14 Assistance Agreements. Bequests or other sources of funding received by CMU-A or its parent university will have no impact on the capped funding available through these Agreements.
