1972] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 595 Students have found it possible to complete the required ninety semester hours of law courses by attending five regular semesters and two summer terms (a total of ninety-three and one-half weeks). However, because these students do not meet the current six-semester residency requirement, they have been able to graduate at the middle of their third year only upon individual petitions for waiver of the residency requirement. The proposed new residency requirement conforms to the standards developed by law school accrediting agencies. T h e Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved. CURRICULUM IN VETERINARY MEDICINE. URBAN A (18) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Veterinary Medicine for a revision of the curriculum in veterinary medicine which will reduce the graduation requirement of 155 hours to 153 hours. The proposal involves extensive course revisions which will result in changes of credit hours in eight courses, addition of two courses, and deletion of one course. These changes reflect primarily the rearrangement of content among existing courses and the two new courses. The reduction in the total hours required for graduation results from the change of credit hours of the eight courses referred to above and the deletion of Accountancy 203 from the curriculum. The increased enrollment of students in the professional curriculum necessitated scheduling adjustments which are reflected in the course credit hour changes. Course content shifts have been made between courses in order to provide more logical locations and sequencing of subject matter in the curriculum. Accountancy 203 will be replaced by an elective course in economics and business management for veterinarians. The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate action is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved. CHANGES IN TUITION FOR CORRESPONDENCE AND EXTRAMURAL INSTRUCTION (19) In view of the anticipated increases in tuition for on-campus study, and in order to bring University rates into closer conformity to charges for extension instruction at other comparable institutions, the University Committee on Fees recommends that a standard tuition fee of $22 per semester hour and $15 per quarter hour be assessed for correspondence and extramural credit courses, and that a standard tuition fee of $22 be assessed for each sixteen hours of instruction (equivalent to one semester hour) in noncredit extramural courses. Currently, visitors in extramural courses pay the same tuition as students registered in the course for credit, except that in cases of multiple credit courses the visitor pays the fee applicable to the lowest credit provided in the course. No change is proposed in this policy. I concur and recommend that these changes become effective September 1, 1972. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved. DESIGNATION OF UNIVERSITY OFFICERS FOR FACILITY SECURITY CLEARANCE (20) Officials of United States governmental agencies have requested the Board of Trustees to designate by formal action the trustees and officers of the Board who do not require access to classified information and who therefore shall not have the authority and responsibility for negotiation, execution, and administration of contracts with the United States of America and its agencies and all of the duties and responsibilities pertaining to the protection of classified information.
