Description
Parent collectionHandbooks & CalendarsCollection typeSub-collection
This collection contains the City Art Institute handbooks from 1982 - 1989. Individual handbooks for the institute were not produced for 1985.
Sydney College of Advanced Education Regulation, 1981 was the delegated legislation to the Higher Education Act, 1975, no. 40, which created the corporate entity known as the Sydney College of Advanced Education. Under the terms of the Regulation, Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education was reconstituted into two separate institutes, St George Institute of Education (SGIE) and City Art Institute (CAI) and incorporated into the new Sydney College of Advanced Education. The new structure came into effect from 1 January 1982.
In 1987 the CAI moved from being an institute of the Sydney CAE to becoming part of the New South Wales Institute of the Arts (NSWIA), which saw the CAI's schools and departments restructured towards the end of 1987. On 1 January 1988 the City Art Institute was created as one of the two constituent schools of NSWIA.
The Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act, 1989, No. 65 ended the short existence of NSWIA. At its 281st meeting, the UNSW Council passed Resolution CL 89/83 approving the Heads of Agreement between the University of New South Wales and the City Art Institute. On 4 December 1989, Council passed Resolution CL 89/133 at its 283rd meeting approving the amalgamation of City Art Institute with UNSW and the courses offered for 1990 as set down in the Report of the Consolidation Implementation Committee dated 28 November 1989. CAI was thus reconstituted into a full college of the university and became the College of Fine Arts effective from 1 January 1990.
