452 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 19 U p o n written request of the faculty of the department and in accord with the University of Illinois Statutes, the director of the College of Medicine at Rockford polled by secret written ballot the voting faculty of the department. There were no votes against a change to a headship form of organization. The dean of the College of Medicine, the vice chancellor for health affairs, the chancellor at Chicago, and the vice president for academic affairs concur in this request. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of D r . D o n o g h u e , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . Revision of the Field of Concentration Residency Requirement, Sciences and Letters Curriculum, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana (10) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended a revision in the field of concentration residency requirement, Sciences and Letters Curriculum, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The revision involves changing this requirement as stated below (deletions are in brackets; new language is in italics). A [transfer] student shall normally complete on this campus at least 12 semester hours of advanced level core coursework (coursework with the department) in the field of concentration. Students in speciallyapproved departmental programs (e.g., study abroad and internship programs) may use such work toward that 12 hour requirement if so recommended by the department and approved by the college. This revision proposes two modifications in the requirement. First, it is appropriate for any student (not only transfer students) seeking a degree from the college to earn at least 12 hours of credit in 300-leveI courses (and approved 200level advanced courses) in their core coursework on this campus. Second, students completing courses in departmental study abroad programs should be permitted to count those courses for this requirement. There are no budgetary or staff implications associated with this change. T h e chancellor at Urbana-Champaign has recommended that the revisions stated above be approved effective for students first enrolling in the curriculum in August 1984. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved. Revision of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences College Preparatory Subject Requirement Patterns, Urbana (11) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended a revision of the College Preparatory Subject requirement patterns for admission of freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This revision increases the admission requirements in English and mathematics through the establishment of a sixth subject requirement pattern. There are now five college preparatory subject requirement patterns. 1 T h e College of Liberal Arts and Sciences currently uses either Pattern I I or Pattern I I I . T h e new pattern is intended to strengthen the backgrounds of incoming freshmen to LAS and to permit LAS to use a single admissions pattern. It permits flexibility in that applicants for admission may meet the requirements with seven semesters of either English or mathematics, with a minimum of six semesters in each. A large proportion of the applicants to LAS now have seven or more semesters of both subjects. The fifth pattern was approved by the Board of Trustees on March 17, 1983.
