574 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 11 need for laboratory teaching resources and the need for additional laboratory-based faculty. The Department of Pharmacodynamics is able to provide for these needs, which could not be accomplished in the Department of Criminal Justice. The professional development within criminalistics is at an active, formative stage that can benefit considerably from the experience in other laboratory-based professions. There is, of course, a great affinity between the discipline of criminalistics and those in the pharmacy sciences. The Department of Pharmacodynamics, for example, employs a forensic toxicologist with experience in the teaching of criminalistics. The transfer of the M.S. in Criminalistics to the Department of Pharmacodynamics will provide the program with an environment where it can thrive and grow. The transfer of the program involves the relocation of one laboratory-based forensic science faculty member, the transfer of criminalistics laboratory equipment from criminal justice to pharmacodynamics, and the reassignment of laboratory space in the Science and Engineering Laboratories to the College of Pharmacy. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The 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 Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Redesignation of the Master of Education in Policy and Evaluation Research, Chicago (18) The chancellor at Chicago, upon the recommendation of the Chicago Senate and the College of Education, recommends the redesignation of the Master of Education in Policy and Evaluation Research as the Master of Education in School Administration and Evaluation Research. The designation of "school administration" more accurately reflects the programmatic content of this specialized sub-field of study. The program provides school administrators with the knowledge and skills to work effectively in schools and similar settings. The name of the other sub-field of study, "evaluation research," will remain unchanged. This specialization provides skills that can be used by school administrators and others to investigate the effects of various alternative educational strategies. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The 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 Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Change of Status and Organization of the Nathalie P. Voorhees Center for Neighborhood and Community Improvement, Chicago (19) The chancellor at Chicago, upon the recommendation of the Chicago Senate and the dean of the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning (AAUP), recommends a change in status and organization of the Nathalie P. Voorhees Center for Neighborhood and Community Improvement from a center to a program within the Center for Urban Economic Development (CUED) of the College of AAUP. The work of the Voorhees Center concentrates on the areas of housing and community development. Specifically, the center's research and technical efforts include: (1) working with residents to improve the quality of public housing; (2) identifying strategies for the financing of low-income housing; (3) identifying and measuring discrimination in the housing market; and (4) developing strategies for neighborhood and housing quality improvement.
