The awards typically provide summer salary for one month for faculty members on nine-month appointments, and sometimes provide incidental expenses and/or graduate assistant support depending on the nature of the.project. Proposals for the awards are evaluated and ranked at the departmental, school, and college levels before being judged by a campuswide committee. The committee selects those proposals believed to promise the greatest potential benefit to undergraduate students. This year the program was devoted to development in general education courses. The vice chancellor for academic affairs has recommended the following awards for the summer of 1992: Principal Investigator KENNETH M. CUNO, assistant professor of history

Funds for these awards have been included in the University appropriations for Fiscal Years 1992 and/or 1993. These awards are subject to the availability of such funds. The chancellor at Urbana concurs in these recommendations as does the vice president for academic affairs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Ms. Reese, these recommendations were approved.

Redesignation of the Four Program Areas of the School of Public Health, Chicago

(7) The chancellor at Chicago, upon the recommendation of the School of Public Health and the approval of the Chicago Senate, recommends that the status of the four program areas in the School of Public Health be changed from "programs" to "divisions." Thus, the academic units of the school will become the Division of Community Health Sciences, the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, the Division of Epidemiology-Biostatistics, and the Division of Health Resources Management. There will be no substantive effect on the composition or overall function of these units in the school. The School of Public Health believes that this change will eliminate the confusion of using the designator "programs" to refer interchangeably to the four academic units, the four degree programs, and the four areas of concentration and study. The term "division" will clearly convey to the campus and external constituencies that it is being used to identify the academic unit that administers the programs of study. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved.
