Description
On 8 November 1982 Council redesignated the School of Russian as the Department of Russian in the Faculty of Arts, to be effective from 1 January 1983 (resolution 82/133). On 14 September 1987 Council resolved that in recognition of the restructuring and expansion of the existing teaching program to provide for a broad-based program in Russian studies, the department was re-named the Department of Russian Studies (resolution 87/99h). On 10 December 1990 Council amalgamated the School of German Studies & the Department of Russian Studies to form a new School of German & Russian Studies, which included the Department of German Studies and the Department of Russian Studies. At the same time the name of the faculty was altered to the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (resolution CL90/108). On 31 October 1994 Council resolved to replace the school with a Department of German & Russian Studies within the School of Modern Language Studies effective from 1 January 1995 (resolution CL94/86c). The Department of Russian Studies as a separate entity thereby ceased to exist from this date. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 01/01/1983-31/12/1994
