1985] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 199 Although the building houses an art gallery, a faculty and staff center and other administrative and faculty offices, its primary function is to house offices which serve student and alumni needs. The proposed name, "Alumni Hall," indicates the importance of alumni to the campus, as well perhaps as heightening awareness among current students of their future status as alumni. I concur. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved. Changes in Policy and Rules — Nonacademic (14) Since 1970 the University has joined with other senior public institutions of higher education in Illinois in a "Uniform Plan Relating to Employee Benefits" for nonacademic employees who serve under the State Universities Civil Service System. In 1978 the board approved a change which provided, for the institutions under the Uniform Plan, paid leave up to three days for in-laws' and grandparents' funerals. The other systems now allow such leave for the death of a grandchild. Such an extension by the University appears warranted and logical, if infrequently invoked, and would maintain uniformity of benefits at institutions under the Uniform Plan. Therefore, the university director of personnel services and the vice president for business and finance have recommended that the University's Policy and Rules — Nonacademic, Chapter XI, University Policy, Section D, be revised as follows:1 Paid leave of up to three work days will be granted to an eligible employee upon the death of a member of the employee's immediate family, household, in-laws, grandchildren, and/or grandparents of immediate family; and one day to attend the funeral of a relative other than those listed above outside the employee's immediate family or household. Immediate family is defined as: father, mother, sister, brother, spouse, and children. In-laws are defined as mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law and daughter-in-law. For purposes of application of the policy stated above marital relationships will terminate for leave purposes upon the death or divorce of the relative through whom the marriage relationship exists. Current marital status will be defined in accordance with Illinois State Law. Leaves may be approved under special circumstances by the designated supervisor. On motion of Mr. Hahn, the revision of the Policy and Rules — Nonacademic was approved as recommended.
