    Papers relating to the administrative structure and arrangements, and amalgamations of the City Art Institute (CAI). The times covered range from when the CAI was part of the Sydney College of Advanced Education, followed by it being part of the short-lived New South Wales Institute of the Arts in 1988/89 to the early to mid-1990s. The CAI became a faculty of the University of New South Wales on 1 January 1990. The years following amalgamation were a time of extensive review for the new faculty. These papers are part of accession 98A51 and have been placed into this series according to their topic.

    Description
    On 8 July 1947 the NSW Government appointed a Developmental Council (under the chairmanship of the Minister for Education, the Hon R.J. Heffron, MLA) to establish the New South Wales Institute of Technology. The purpose of the Institute was to train scientists and technologists to meet the needs of the expanding economy. The Council met on 18 occasions between 27 August 1947 and 26 May 1949, during which time the name of the proposed body was changed to the New South Wales University of Technology. The major role of the Developmental Council had been preparation of a bill for an Act that passed though the parliamentary process in 1949. The Council had identified two unique features of the new University courses - some humanities component would be included, and practical industrial training would be a requirement. Premises of the Department of Technical Education were utilised until a site and buildings for the university were available. The first degree courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Mining Engineering commenced at Sydney Technical College in March 1948. (1) The Technical Education and University of Technology Act, 1949 (Act No 11, 1949) came into effect on 1 July 1949. It formally constituted the University as a body corporate, and consisting of the Council, the professors and other such classes of persons giving instruction within the University as may be prescribed and the graduate and under-graduate members thereof. (2) The objects of the University were (a) to provide facilities for higher specialised instruction and advanced training in the various branches of technology and science and in their application to industry and commerce; and (b) to aid by research and other suitable means the advancement, development and practical application of science to industry and commerce. (3) The University was managed by a Council of up to 30 members, (4) who were appointed by the Governor for periods of up to four years. The principal officers of the University were the President, Vice-President and Director. The Council was appointed on 5 July 1949 (5) and held its inaugural meeting the following day. The first by-laws were adopted on 12 September 1949, which included provision for the formation of the Professorial Board in the following year. (6) Building on the University's site at Kensington commenced in October 1949. (7) Finance was allocated for the building program by the New South Wales University of Technology (Construction) Act, 1951 (Act No. 35, 1951). The buildings authorised under the Act included a 3-4 storey permanent brick building to accommodate the schools of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Mechanical Drawing and Design, Geology and Mineral Engineering together with administrative offices, lecture theatre and cafeteria and 13 steel clad aluminium buildings to accommodate the School of Chemical Engineering, furniture, equipment and services for these buildings, access roads and other necessary site works. (8) The first graduates of the University were awarded their degrees on 15 March 1952. Thirty-four degrees were presented to graduates at a ceremony held at Great Hall, University of Sydney. The structure of the Council was altered by the Technical Education and New South Wales University of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1955 (Act No. 8, 1955). The Council was increased to a maximum 39 members and the titles of President, Vice President and Director were replaced by those of Chancellor, Deputy Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor. The University of New South Wales Act, 1958 (Act No. 24, 1958) altered the name of the University to the University of New South Wales and added a third object to that of the principal Act. ' c) to provide instruction and carry out research in the disciplines of humane studies and medicine and such other disciplines as the Council may from time to time determine.' (9) The University of New South Wales Act, 1961 (Act No 49, 1961) increased the Council to 40 members (10) and set in place an annual budget allocation from the NSW Government following the submission of a budget from the University. (11) Existing legislation was consolidated by the University of New South Wales Act, 1968 (No 37, 1968). Under the University of New South Wales (Amendment) Act, 1970 (No 75, 1970) the number of Council members was again enlarged to a total of 43. The University of New South Wales (Amendment) Act, 1978 (Act No 170, 1978) added to the Council one member elected by the non-academic staff of the university. The University's Constitution was altered to transfer responsibilities to the Minister including making nominations to the Council and authorising disposal of real property. In 1984 and 1985 two University of New South Wales (Amendment) Acts (Act No. 15, 1984 & Act No. 81, 1985) were passed. The former regulated the type of investments that Council was permitted to undertake for the University, while the latter decreased the number of Council members to 29. In 1988 the Professorial Board was replaced with a reorganised Academic Board. This was followed in 1989 by a restructure of Council under the University of New South Wales Act, 1989 (No. 125, 1989), where the number of Council members was reduced to 21 and its terms of reference revised. The 1949 Act had given the Council the power to create colleges or branches elsewhere within New South Wales. The first of these was established at Newcastle in 1951. The Broken Hill Division was formed in 1959, while Wollongong University College was founded in 1962. On 1 January 1965, Newcastle was granted its autonomy and became the University of Newcastle. On 1 January 1975 Wollongong likewise attained the status of the University of Wollongong. In 1981 the termination of operations at Broken Hill was commenced, with the final graduation ceremony occurring in 1985. On 10 July 1967 an agreement was signed between the Department of the Army and the University to form the Faculty of Military Studies. The Faculty provided the opportunity for cadets at the Royal Military College at Duntroon to attain University degrees. On 7 May 1981 a new agreement was made between the Australian Government and the University to create a University College within the Australian Defence Force Academy. The College began operations on 1 January 1986. In 1969 the Australian Government created a Committee of Inquiry into Postgraduate Education for Management, under Dr Richard Cyert. In March 1970 the Committee recommended that a 'national graduate school of management be established at the University of New South Wales'. On 23 August 1973 the Government decided to initiate this proposal and the Australian Graduate School of Management was formed. Teaching began at the School in 1977. In 1998 the Australian Graduate School of Management merged with the University of Sydney's Graduate School of Business to form a joint university Australian Graduate School of Management. On 1 January 1990, as a consequence of the Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act 1989, two sections of the Sydney College of Advanced Education - the City Art Institute and St George Institute of Education (both previously a part of Alexander Mackie College) - were integrated with the University. On 2 December 1996 the decision was made to close St George campus, with the premises being vacated by the University in January 1999. The Faculties of the University were formed in the following order: Engineering, Science, Architecture/Built Environment, Humanities & Social Sciences, Technology/Applied Science, Commerce/Commerce & Economics, Arts/Arts & Social Sciences, Medicine, Law, Military Studies, Biological Sciences/Biological & Behavioural Sciences, Professional Studies, College of Fine Arts, Life Sciences and Science & Technology.

    Description
    The Faculty of Commerce was formed in principle by Council at its meeting on 12 July 1954 (resolution 431i). The Faculty was then officially launched at the 11th March, 1957 meeting of Council (resolution 57/37). Professor David Culloden Rowan was the first Dean of the Faculty, with the initial schools being Accountancy, Economics and Hospital Administration. The inaugural meeting of the Faculty occurred on 5th June, 1957. In 1986 - 1987 a Committee organised by the Vice-Chancellor conducted a review of the Faculty. As a result, at the Council meeting on 11th July, 1988 the name of the Faculty was altered to the Faculty of Commerce & Economics effective 1 August 1988 (resolution 88/90). On 3 July 2006 Council approved the disestablishment of the Faculty of Commerce & Economics, subject to the approval of the Academic Board. The Faculty was to be amalgamated with the Australian Graduate School of Management to form the new Faculty of Business. The Board approved this on 1 August 2006 (resolution AB06/91) and at the Board's 7 November 2006 meeting, it noted that the Faculty of Commerce & Economics and the Australian Graduate School of Management should be considered to have ceased to have the functions and powers of faculties after [the first Faculty Board meeting of the Faculty of Business on Thursday 23 November 2006]' (resolution AB06/139).

    On 12 September 1960 Council appointed Associate Professor Derek Broadbent to the newly created position of Co-ordinator of Extension & Postgraduate Studies (resolution 60/112). Soon afterwards, however, this became known as the Co-ordinator of Postgraduate & Extension Studies, within the Division of Postgraduate & Extension Studies reporting to the Vice-Chancellor. The Division was responsible for the expansion of the extra-mural activities of the University which included the production of educational radio courses and seminars for the University Radio Station. The University Radio Station VL2UV started broadcasting post-graduate and extension programs in May 1961; initially 11 courses were offered in Administration, Sociology, Radiation & Safety, School-University Bridging Courses, Refresher Courses for Engineers, and Post-Graduate Courses for Doctors. New transmitters for the radio station were installed in Kensington and Concord, NSW, in early 1962. By 1966 the Division offered courses via classroom, television, radio and tape. From 14 July 1967, the title of the division altered slightly to become the Division of Postgraduate Extension Studies (file 5801020, CN1194/2). Following recommendations of the report of the Committee to Review the Division of Postgraduate Extension Studies, released in 1985, the name of the Division was changed to the Continuing Education Support Unit and reported to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor Malcolm Chaikin from 21 June 1985. The functions of the new Unit were to include: a) providing assistance to schools in the planning, development, production and presentation of attended courses b) advising schools regarding potential or emerging demand for courses in particular subject areas c) providing marketing support for schools, including publicity, encouraging current and past graduates to continue their education through the program, and developing and maintaining comprehensive and appropriately classified mailing lists in conjunction with other sections of the university d) providing administrative assistance to schools in conducting attended courses e) co-ordinating course proposals and approvals for the Continuing Education Committee of the Professorial Board f) providing assistance to schools in developing radio, audio and video cassette courses for distance education in collaboration with the Audio Visual Unit. (Focus 21 June 1985). As at 1 September 1988 the Continuing Education Support Unit reported to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor Alan Gilbert (Focus 27 May 1988). The Unit was amalgamated with the Educational Services Unit of Unisearch to form the International, Professional & Continuing Education (IPACE) Institute effective from 1 July 1989 (file 892386, Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee 21 June 1989).

On 8 May 1961 a second Pro-Vice-Chancellor position was established by Council with Professor R. H. Myers being appointed to the position (resolution 61/59). Up until 1991, the two Pro-Vice-Chancellor positions appear to have been only distinguished as either being the first Pro-Vice-Chancellor and second Pro-Vice-Chancellor position. From 16 September 1991, however, one position became known as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research & Development) and the other as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) (Focus 23 August 1991). The title of both Pro-Vice-Chancellor positions was changed to Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the Council meeting on 4 November 1991. As part of a restructure following the departure of Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Development) on 31 January 2000, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) position was re-named Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Planning & Resources) effective from 1 February 2000 (file 990894). At the 4 April 2001 Executive Group meeting the name of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Planning & Resources) was changed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education & Enterprise). On 16 April 2003 the name of this position was changed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Education) (file 2003/0773). From 7 January 2004 the name of this position was altered again to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) (SRF - Organisation & Management). When the Division of Institutional Advancement was disestablished at the 11 October 2004 Council meeting (resolution CL04/154), all staff from this division were transferred to the portfolio of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International). Consequently the position was re-named the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Development) (news@unsw 2 November 2004).\r\nOn 21 June 2006 Vice-Chancellor Fred Hilmer outlined a new Senior Management Group structure, which made the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Development) position redundant. With the new group in place on 29 September 2006, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Development) position effectively ceased to exist from this date (SRF - Organisation & Management).

    Description
    At a marketing conference in Canberra in June 1962, P J A Fabricus, Marketing Director, Unilever Australia Pty Ltd, proposed that a chair in Marketing be established at an Australian university. This proposal was debated within the University of NSW and at a meeting of the Executive Committee of Council on 17 December 1962 it was decided that a Chair in Marketing should be established within the School of Business Administration so long as the necessary funds could be found from amongst the business community. In April 1963 a Committee was formed, chaired by Mr Warren McDonald, Chairman of the Commonwealth Banking Corporation, with the aim of raising 60,000 pounds. This was achieved during August 1963 (SRF - Marketing) and on 11 November 1963 Council approved the establishment of a Chair in Marketing in the School of Business Administration within the Faculty of Commerce (resolution 63/194). In March 1965 Professor J B Schneider, formerly Chair of Marketing at San Francisco State College, was appointed as the inaugural Chair (resolution 65/5). On 24 January 1966 Council approved the establishment of a Department of Marketing within the Faculty of Commerce (resolution 66/24). In 1966 the university introduced a more comprehensive program in marketing of three courses for those in business and government already engaged in all aspects of marketing, marketing research and related fields. The program consisted of one part time course and two short residential courses. (SRF - Marketing) In March 1967 Professor Schneider resigned after only two years service and returned to the US. (SRF - Marketing) Roger Layton, Senior Lecturer in Economics, had been appointed Professor of Marketing within the Faculty of Commerce (resolution 66/183) in November of the previous year. A marketing specialisation within the Bachelor of Commerce degree was taught for the first time in 1967 (UNSW Calendar 1967 B208-9; UNSW Calendar 1968 B 166-7). On 11 May 1970 as part of the administrative arrangements necessary for the establishment of the Institute of Social Research, the Department of Marketing was re-designated as the School of Marketing (resolution 70/75 (viii)). At a meeting of the Professorial Board on 1 April 1975 it was resolved that the Department of Behavioural Science, formerly situated with the Graduate School of Business, be placed within the School of Marketing (resolution of Professorial Board 75/40). However just over a year later on 14 July 1976 the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee decided that the department should be removed from the School of Marketing and designated as a separate unit within the Faculty of Commerce (S261; UNSW Annual Report 1976: 10). During 1988 approval was given for a double major in Marketing and Hospitality Management within the BCom. The first group of students were enrolled in 1989. The course was designed to meet the demand for managers in the hotel, resort, and restaurant industries (UNSW Annual Report 1988: 35). In 2006 the School offers specialist programs in Marketing, Tourism and Hospitality Management. (http://www.fce.unsw.edu.au/nps/servlet/portalservice?GI_ID=System.LoggedOutInheritableArea&maxWnd=S_Schools) Accessed: 18 September 2006] As a result of the disestablishment of the Faculty of Commerce & Economics, the school became part of the Faculty of Business from 23 November 2006. On 18 June 2007 Council noted the renaming of the Faculty of Business to the Australian School of Business at UNSW, as approved by the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and President of the Academic Board (CL07/33). On 2 July 2014 the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee approved a change in name of the faculty to the UNSW Australia Business School, effective from 23 July 2014.
