Dear John,

 

I refer to your request of 30 October 2022. The University’s response
follows:

 

“May I know the position description of these positions…”

 

There are no formal position descriptions for the Business School’s
Executives-in-Residence and Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, but the Business
School has provided the following description in response to your request:

 

“The Business School’s Executives-in-Residence and
Entrepreneurs-in-Residence are honorary appointments that are intended to
broaden the Business School’s relationship with the business community.
Typically the EIR is a prominent senior executive whose role is to share
their expertise with our faculty and students. They usually involve
themselves as a mentor, project adviser, ambassador, and networker, and
become fully integrated into the life of the School.

 

They are assisted in accessing resources that are appropriate to the terms
of the arrangement including assistance with preparation ahead of any
guest teacher roles, and guidance on the University’s research policies
and requirements if they are contributing in this area. All honorary
appointees are entitled to access the University Library, may use the
Honorary title in a professional context for the period of the
appointment, and are expected to use the University as an author address
in publications.”

 

“May I know… their pay rate or how they are get paid/ reimbursed?”

 

The Business School does not pay its
Executives/Entrepreneurs-in-residence. Occasionally the Business School
may agree to reimburse executives/entrepreneurs-in-residence for
appropriate and reasonable expenses.

 

“How did your selecting them? What is your selection process?”

 

The Business School’s Executives-in-Residence and
Entrepreneurs-in-Residence are honorary appointments, and as such are
selected and appointed in accordance with the University’s Honorary
Appointment Policy and Procedures, which are publicly available at
[1]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/a....
This constitutes a refusal of your request under section 18(d) of the OIA,
on the ground that the information requested is publicly available.

 

“How long they have been appointed for?”

“Besides the link I found, do you have any more Executives-in-Residence
and Entrepreneur-in-Residence? If so, please provide me with the name and
bio.”

This information is intended to be published on the University’s website
at [2]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/business/a....
However, that webpage is no longer up to date - the Business School is
currently in the process of updating it. The information requested will
shortly be made available on the University’s website after the webpage
linked above is updated  – we will notify you after this has been done.
This constitutes a refusal of your request under section 18(d) of the OIA
on the ground that the information requested will soon be publicly
available.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Landon Watt
