input: [Possible CSE Perspective] In fact the UNSW Asia academic year will begin in September or thereabouts, so UNSW Asia will start up in September 2007. This means UNSW Asia staff could start training at UNSW Kensington in early 2007, and so we wouldn't need to revise for 2006, just for 2007. [Faculty/AB Perspective] 
output: The timing of the revision requirements is driven by the advent of UNSW Singapore (= UNSW Asia), which starts up in 2007. A/Prof. Hesketh has informed the Flexible First Year working group that appointees to UNSW Asia will start work with a semester at UNSW Kensington, absorbing the UNSW ethos. The contract with the Singapore government requires that students be able to transfer between UNSW campuses without loss of credit. Because of limited staff resources at UNSW Asia, the programs there must be designed carefully to allow such transfers, and it is claimed that the programs here need to be revised to facilitate such transfers too. The best sequence is to revise our programs for 2006, so that (a) they can be debugged in 2006; and (b) the UNSW Asia staff in training can work with the revised programs.
