| AdminHistory | When the Area Training Organisation was set up in 1949 a number of Standing Sub-Committees were set up by the Wider Academic Board to foster some uniformity between the constituent colleges and departments of the ATO. These committees advised on matters, particularly in relation to syllabuses, examinations and the appointment of examiners in individual subjects (generally from 1949 onwards).from 1970/1 Executive Committees were established to complete the regular business of the former Standing Sub-Committees (which were renamed Standing Committees).
In 1974 the Academic Council of the University of London (4 Nov 1974) agreed that a new Joint Committee structure be set up for the oversight of the new awards for students at Colleges of Education (BA. BSc, B.Ed, B.Humanities and Dip.HE). The University agreed that there should be two types of committees in this structure - Joint Degree Committees (responsible for determining combinations of courses for a degree as a whole - catalogued at IE/2/JDC,) and Joint Subject Committees (responsible for determining combinations of courses in the areas of study with which they were concerned - catalogued at IE/2/JSC).
A number of Joint Interim Committees were run during 1974 and 1975 and seem to have been a link between the old and new committee system. |
