    Description
    The Board of Vocational Studies was formed at the 12th September, 1960 meeting of Council (resolution 60/132). Under Council resolution 60/132iii it was determined that the Board should supervise teaching, provide assistance to examiners and conduct research in those subjects that were nominated as coming under its auspices. Professor R. H. Myers was appointed the first Chairman of the Board and its inaugural meeting took place on 22nd September, 1960. Under Council resolution 64/223 at their meeting on 9th November, 1964, the functions of a Higher Degree Committee were also given to the Board. At the meeting of Council on 11th May, 1970 (resolution 70/74i) resolution 60/132 was rescinded and the Board re-constituted. Under Council resolution 70/74ii the Board was given the power to act as a faculty in regard to the course in Wool Technology (Education option) and all courses provided by the Schools of Education, Social Work, Librarianship, Health Administration and the Department of Industrial Arts. As well, it was determined that Chapter IV of the University By-Laws would now apply to the Board (resolution 70/74iii). This resulted in the establishment of an Executive Committee. On 12th November, 1973 Council changed the name of the Board to the Board of Professional Studies (resolution 73/231). A year later, on 11th November, 1974, Council approved the reconstitution of the Board into the Faculty of Professional Studies from 20th January 1975 (resolution 74/227). Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor A. H. Willis was appointed Acting Dean of the Faculty. At the 2nd December, 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Professional Studies was disestablished effective 1st January, 1997 (resolution CL96/88/3).
