Faculty Of Arts Heads Of Departments Committee (The University of Melbourne)

Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsUniversity committeeHistoryIn March 1952 the Faculty of Arts considered the distribution of some of the work of the Faculty among various specialized committees. The Heads of Department Committee was appointed to act as the executive of the Faculty. Minutes and papers include references to Faculty budgeting, planning, proposals for the establishment of new centres, enrolments, selections, details of courses and subjects and student quotas as they effected specific departments. In addition to other tasks the Committee regularly considered and deliberated upon reports from lower level committees reporting to it. This included the Foreign Language Committee, Library Users Committee, Undergraduate Studies Committee, Continuing Education Committee and Dean's Committee. The last meeting of the Committee was held on 10 September 1980. The minutes contain no reference to disbandment of the Committee, but minutes appear to end at this point. Later in its life the Committee was also known as the Chairmen of Departments Standing Committee.
