1987] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 167 The senate has also recommended an honorary degree to be conferred at the Commencement Exercises at Urbana-Champaign on May 22, 1988: NAKAMURA, KANZABURO X V I I , Kabuki actor — the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts. The chancellor concurs in the recommendations. I recommend approval. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, these degrees were authorized as recommended. Master of Science in Associated Medical Sciences, Chicago (8) T h e Chicago Senate has recommended the establishment of a program leading to the Master of Science in Associated Medical Sciences. T h e program will offer specializations in medical laboratory sciences, nutrition and medical dietetics, and occupational therapy. The Department of Associated Medical Sciences and the College of Associated Health Professions propose to offer the program in addition to the existing Master of Associated Medical Sciences (M.A.M.S.) degree. The focus of the M.S. degree will be on research and scholarship and preparation for academic and leadership careers in allied health sciences. The M.A.M.S. degree will be retained and reserved for those programs providing advanced professional preparation for entry to an allied health field of practice. This development is a logical step in the evolution of graduate education in the College of Associated Health Professions. T h e new degree is appropriate for those allied health graduate students who seek advanced degrees requiring research and scholarly activity. T h e degree proposed would be the only comprehensive program of advanced study for multiple allied health professions of its kind in Illinois. T h e chancellor has recommended approval of the proposed program, and the vice president for academic affairs concurs. The University Senates Conference has indicated no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. Scope and Mission Statement, Chicago (Prepared for North Central Association Reaccreditation Examination) (9) Early in 1987, the Chicago campus will undergo its ten-year reaccreditation examination by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, the first since the consolidation of the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses. As a part of the documentation required for the examination, the campus has prepared, with broad consultation, the following Scope and Mission Statement. T h e statement, the first for the consolidated campus, was ratified by the senate at its November 19, 1986, meeting. I t was prepared by the campus SelfStudy Committee for the reaccreditation visit. T h e chancellor at Chicago has recommended that the statement be endorsed by the board. T h e vice president for academic affairs concurs. The Executive Committee of the University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval of the recommendation. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved.
