The first head of department was Associate Professor David Reeve. On 3 July 2001 the Academic Board recommended that the department be re-named the Department of Chinese and Indonesian Studies (resolution AB01/34). As part of a Faculty of Arts 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 also 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 Chinese & Indonesian Studies as an independent entity ceased to exist from this date. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 01/01/1995-31/01/2007
