528 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 10 Termination of Undergraduate Teacher Certification Program, School Health Education, Urbana T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved the termination of the Teacher Certification Program in School Health Education in the Department of Health and Safety Studies, College of Applied Life Studies. Enrollments in this teacher certification area have significantly declined during the past five years. In 1979 there were 15 majors in School Health Education. In 1985-1986 there is only one student, graduating in 1986. Thus, the Department of Health and Safety Studies proposes to defer certification in this area to other undergraduate colleges in the State of Illinois. A minor and an M.S. degree will continue to be available in School Health Education. There are no budgetary or staff implications. Discontinuance of the Curriculum in Human Resources and Family Studies, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved the discontinuance of the Curriculum in Human Resources and Family Studies within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The parallel curriculum in the College of Agriculture will remain intact. By mutual agreement the School of Human Resources and Family Studies, the College of Agriculture, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have decided not to continue the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences/Human Resources and Family Studies curriculum. Since the school administratively resides in agriculture, and most of the students are registered in the College of Agriculture/Human Resources and Family Studies curriculum, discontinuing the parallel program in liberal arts and sciences will not affect the opportunities still available to students through the College of Agriculture. There are no budgetary or staff implications. Name Change, Curriculum in Agricultural Occupations for Secondary Teachers, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a name change for the Curriculum in Agricultural Occupations for Secondary Teachers to the Curriculum in Agricultural Education. Students and staff routinely refer to this existing curriculum as "agricultural education" now, although the availability of an agricultural education curriculum is not readily apparent in any of the literature listing agricultural curricula. Further, other colleges and universities in Illinois and elsewhere which offer agricultural education use this as their official curriculum name. This name change will allow for more visibility of this program which will help attract students interested in agricultural education This report was received for record. Dissolution of the School of Social Sciences, College of Liberal Arts a n d Sciences, Urbana (9) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the dissolution of the School of Social Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, effective immediately. The School of Social Sciences was established in 1976 as an administrative unit of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and consists of the Departments of Anthropology, Geography, Political Science, and Sociology; the Social Science Quantitative Laboratory; as well as the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. T h e existence of the school has created an unnecessary barrier between the office of the dean and the constituent units. The coordinating function can be served through continuing
