On 31 October 1994 Council resolved to replace the School of Spanish & Latin American Studies with a Department of Spanish & Latin American Studies within the School of Modern Language Studies in the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences effective from 1 January 1995 (resolution CL94/86c). As part of a Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences restructure, the School of Modern Language Studies was re-named the School of Languages and Linguistics effective 31 January 2007 (6 February 2007 Academic Board papers). As part of this restructure, it was deemed that no school was to establish a departmental structure (Principles of Government-Feb 2007 in SRF - Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences) and discipline advisors were instead created for each area of study. Therefore the Department of Spanish & Latin American Studies as an independent entity ceased to exist from this date. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 01/01/1995-31/01/2007
