The faculty is a statutory body granted faculty status by the University Council in July 1997.
The faculty comprises all students enrolled for degrees, diplomas and
certificates offered by the faculty and all academic, administrative, technical
and clerical staff at all the Monash campuses.
The faculty has the departments of Fine Arts, Design, Multimedia and Digital
Arts, Theory of Art and Design, and a centre at the Gippsland campus,
Churchill, known as the Gippsland Centre for Art and Design.
The major academic responsibilities of the faculty are
delegated to the faculty board. The faculty board comprises the dean, associate
deans, heads of departments and centres, representatives from the academic
staff of the faculty, student members of the faculty, and representatives from
the university and other faculties which participate in double or joint awards
or have an interest in the work of the faculty. Except in matters on which it
has power to act, the faculty board makes recommendations to the Academic Board
or through the Academic Board to Council. The faculty board has standing
committees empowered to act on behalf of the board when required. These
committees include:
(a) the Teaching and Learning Committee, which advises the board on matters
relating to the undergraduate and coursework degrees of the faculty
(b) the Committee of Graduate Studies, which advises the board on matters relating to graduate programs and research issues of the faculty.
The chief officers of the faculty are the dean of the faculty and the faculty manager, who are located on the Caulfield campus. The dean is a professor of the faculty and presides over meetings of the faculty, the faculty board and faculty committees. The faculty manager is responsible for the academic administration of the faculty, with particular concern for matters relating to university statutes and faculty regulations.
