BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 11

assistant professor of pharmacy practice, College of Pharmacy, beginning April 15, 1992 (NY), at an annual salary of $59,000.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, these appointments were confirmed. UIC Award for Excellence in Teaching, Chicago

(14) The UIC Award for Excellence in Teaching recognizes and rewards outstanding teaching mentors who serve as role models for both their faculty colleagues and for undergraduate and graduate students. Each college is invited to nominate at least one but no more than three candidates for the award. Faculty representatives from each college develop criteria for nominating possible recipients from their departments. A campus review panel of faculty members was appointed to review nominations and submit recommendations to the vice chancellor for academic affairs who makes the final determination of the awards. A maximum of five awards is presented in any one year. The awards include a base salary increase of $2,500 for each recipient — $1,500 from campus resources and $1,000 from the resources of the nominating college. In addition, each individual nominated will receive a one-time award of $500. For the 1992 academic year, the chancellor at Chicago has recommended the following individuals for the award: HEMENDRA BHARGAVA, professor, Department of Pharmacodynamics CORINNA ETHINGTON, associate professor, College of Education HOWARD GOLDBERG, professor, Department of Physics C. K. SANATHANAN, professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science LEO SCHELBERT, professor, Department of History The vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Redesignation, Department of Music, Chicago

(15) The chancellor at Chicago, with the approval of the Chicago Senate, the deans and faculties of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS), College of Kinesiology (CK), and the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning (AAUP) recommend the redesignation of the Department of Music as the Department of Performing Arts in the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning. A strong performing arts program is an essential part of any comprehensive university. These colleges have agreed to consolidate the efforts of the current Department of Music (LAS), the theater program (Department of Communication and Theater, LAS), and the dance program (CK) into the redesignated Department of Performing Arts, which will be located in the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning. The joining of music, theater, and dance units will strengthen the performing arts program, which will result in greater administrative efficiency. The administrative redesignation of the Department of Music as the Department of Performing Arts will occur in fall 1992. Students currently enrolled in each of the existing programs will be permitted to complete their degrees as described when first enrolled. However, during 199293, the newly designated department will work with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Kinesiology, and the campus to effect this transfer of degree programs and related courses to the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning. The transfer and redesignation of degree programs will require Board of Trustees' and Illinois Board of Higher Education's approval in the near future. From a campus perspective, a reorganized Department of Performing Arts will enhance the status and visibility of the University of Illinois at Chicago within Illinois
