1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 439 I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Redesignate the Department of Family Practice, College of Medicine at Chicago (11) The interim chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate and the dean of the College of Medicine, recommends the redesignation of the Department of Family Practice in the College of Medicine at Chicago as the Department of Family Medicine. As medical school academic departments evolved, the study and the teaching of the discipline of family medicine emerged. Most departments incorporated into their names, term(s) that accurately described the academic focus of the unit. The term "family practice" in its current usage, refers to the practical applications of the discipline and is, therefore, an appropriate descriptor for clinical departments and for clinical practice. The term "family medicine" more accurately describes the role of the university-based academic department. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Redesignate the Department of Neurosciences, College of Medicine at Peoria (12) The interim chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate and the dean of the College of Medicine, recommends the redesignation of the Department of Neurosciences in the College of Medicine at Peoria as the Department of Neurosurgery. The Division of Neurology was removed from the Department of Neurosciences when it became a separate program in the College of Medicine at Peoria. This left only neurosurgery in the Department of Neurosciences. The name change to the Department of Neurosurgery better reflects the nature of the department's current activities. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 13 through 23 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
