T h e linking of these anatomical sciences and adding other scientists working on projects related to structure, function, and biomechanics of the orofacial complex will enhance research activity and encourage faculty development. T h e proposal will facilitate the application of biomedical sciences to the cinical teaching programs and reinforce their ramifications in disease detection and prevention. T h e consolidation of these departments will not affect accreditation status. T h e interim chancellor at Chicago and the vice president for academic affairs recommend approval. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. Transfer of the Center for Electron Microscopy to the Graduate College, Urbana (23) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved the transfer of the Center for Electron Microscopy from the School of Life Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to the Graduate College. T h e center is a multidisciplinary unit offering teaching, research, and service work in electron microscopy. T h e center serves a campus-wide constituency, and as a special unit of the Graduate College it will be better able to be responsive to the needs of researchers from disciplines across campus. An interdisciplinary screening committee is being established to facilitate communication between the center and the departments it serves. No staff have been or will be appointed with tenure in the center. T h e movement of the center out of the School of Life Sciences in Liberal Arts and Sciences and establishment of it as a special unit of the Graduate College does not have budgetary implications. T h e chancellor at Urbana has recommended approval of the establishment of the Center for Electron Microscopy as a special unit of the Graduate College and the vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. President's Report on Actions of the Senates Establishment of the Master of Business Administration and Master of Arts in Economics Joint Program, Chicago (24) T h e senate at Chicago has approved a proposal by the M.B.A. program and the Department of Economics to establish a joint program involving concurrent formal study towards two master's degrees: the Master of Business Administration and the Master of Arts in Economics. Both degrees have been in existence for many years, and the proposed joint program, modelled after other existing joint degree programs, enables students to avoid the unnecessary duplication of courses that might otherwise have been required if students were to pursue the degrees separately. This joint degree program is designed for baccalaureate-prepared students who are seeking professional preparation as well as knowledge in research methodology and techniques for executive positions in private, public, and nonprofit organizations. Redesignation of the Epidemiology-Biometry Program; Redesignation of the Biometry Specialization of the M.S. and Ph.D. in Public Health, Chicago T h e senate at Chicago has approved a proposal from the School of Public Health to redesignate the Epidemiology-Biometry program as the Epidemiology-Biostatistics program, and to rename the biometry specialization as the specialization in biostatistics.
