5.1 Committee of Associate Deans (Teaching)
(Circulated p 1237.)
The Vice-Chancellor introduced this item.

Subsequently, and in response to further questions regarding the University policy on student representation on all committees of the University, the Vice-Chancellor directed the student representatives to meet with Mr P Summers regarding the matter.

14.7 Amendment to course - Bachelor of Computing
(Circulated p 1667).
At Meeting 3/95 the Education Committee endorsed for transmission to the Academic Board the proposal to reduce the requirement for the non-computing minor sequence from 28 points to 20 points in order to permit a double major in computing to be achieved in the Bachelor of Computing. At Council Meeting 4/95, this proposal was questioned in light of the wider issue of reducing the focus of degrees. The Faculty of Computing and Information Technology prepared a further justification of their proposal, and this was circulated.
The general issue of the focus of degrees, referred to the Board by Council, was considered under Item 4.1.
The Academic Board noted that the Education Committee reaffirmed its original decision to endorse the amendment to the Bachelor of Computing course, which allowed those students who wished to take a double major in Computing to do so; and the Board noted that not only was this an optional program, but that even if this specialised program were to be undertaken it allowed a greater range than many existing degree programs of the University.
