T h i s r e p o r t w a s r e c e i v e d for r e c o r d . Transfer, Institute for Child Behavior and Development, Urbana (15) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the transfer of the Institute for Child Behavior and Development from the Graduate College to the College of Applied Life Studies, effective immediately. On July 1, 1975, the Institute was formed within the College of Education by merger of the Institute for Research on Exceptional Children and the Children's Research Center. In December 1980, it was transferred to the Graduate College. The unit has since focused its work on human development involving an increasing number of disciplines. Its faculty hold rank in five schools and colleges, and much of its research is unique. The transfer to the College of Applied Life Studies should facilitate the Institute's interdisciplinary activities in particular. All of the administrative units involved support the recommendation. The chancellor has recommended approval and the vice president for academic affairs concurs. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Changes in Senate Bylaws (Report for Information) (16) The University of Illinois Statutes provide that changes in senate bylaws are reported to the board. T h e proposed changes to the Chicago and Urbana-Champaign Senates are filed with the secretary of the board for record. This report was received for record. Assignment of Ownership and Copyright in the BLAZE Computer Programming Package (17) Allan Tuchman, a research programmer in the Computing Services Office ( C S O ) , Urbana, has developed a computer programming package entitled BLAZE. It was created as part of his assigned University duties. Article I I , Section 9, of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure provides that ownership of all rights in copyrightable works produced under this condition shall belong to the University. Mr. Tuchman has requested that the University assign its ownership and copyright in BLAZE to him in order to facilitate its marketing and distribution. George F. Badger, director of CSO, concurs in the request and recommends that, in consideration of this assignment, the University of Illinois receive twenty-five percent of the net royalties earned by Mr. Tuchman after the first $10,000, and retain a nonexclusive royalty-free license to copy, use, and distribute BLAZE without restriction in connection with the University's internally administered programs of teaching, research, and public service. The University would not retain the right to sell the program and would bear all expenses related to its internal use. The vice chancellor for research and dean of the Graduate College at U r b a n a and the University Committee on Copyrightable Works recommend approval of this request. I concur. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved.
