Description
The Board of Studies in Science was created by Council on 14th May, 1973 through resolution 73/86. This resolution detailed that the Board was to discharge the functions of a faculty in relation to the academic administration of the Science course (397) leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Prior to the existence of the Board, the Faculties of Science and the Biological Sciences had found it difficult to communicate over the arrangements for Science course (397) (file 00027848, 96A3, Box 3). The first meeting of the Board took place on 9th October, 1973, with Professor R. M. Golding as the Board's initial chair. On 8th March, 1976, under resolution 76/45, Council changed the designation of the Science course (397) to the Science & Mathematics course (397). Consequently, to reflect this difference, at the same time Council altered the Board's name to the Board of Studies in Science & Mathematics. The Board of Studies in Science & Mathematics was disestablished by Council on 10th April, 2000 (resolution CL000/15). The last meeting of the Committee was held on 8th March, 2000.
