    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 6 June 2000 the Academic Board recommended the establishment of the Korea-Australasia Research Centre, which was a joint initiative between the Faculty of Commerce & Economics and the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (resolution AB00/43). This was formally approved by the Vice-Chancellor on 20 June 2000 (file 001184). The Centre was formally opened on 28 July 2000. The first director of the Centre was Dr Chung-Sok Suh. On 3 July 2006 Council proposed the amalgamation of the Faculty of Commerce of Economics and the Australian Graduate School of Management into the newly formed Faculty of Business and consequently the Centre became jointly part of this faculty (resolution CL06/68). The inaugural meeting of the faculty took place on 23 November 2006, but by 18 June 2007 the name of the faculty was changed to the Australian School of Business at UNSW (Council resolution CL07/33). On 1 February 2011 the Academic Board approved a change in name of the centre to the Korea Research Institute (resolution AB11/4). Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 20/06/2000-
