SABBATICAL LEAVE O F ABSENCE. 1 9 7 2 - 7 3 , URBANA (7) The Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign has recommended that the following faculty member be given a sabbatical leave of absence in accordance with the provisions of the University of Illinois Statutes and on the terms and for the period indicated. College of Commerce and Business Administration Department of Economics A. JAMES HEINS, Professor of Economics, second semester, 1972-73, full pay. This recommendation is supplementary to the applications recommended to the Board of Trustees on March 15, 1972. I concur. On motion of Mr. Karnes, this leave was granted as recommended. DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH A N D HEARING SCIENCE, URBANA (8) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that the Department of Speech be divided and that a separate Department of Speech and Hearing Science be established. Under the proposal, the existing Department of Speech would retain those staff members and instructional courses which relate to the principles of speech and rhetoric, to the history, theory, practice, and criticism of oral communication. The proposed Department of Speech and Hearing Science would include those faculty members and instructional units related to speech pathology, audiology, and speech and hearing science. As this field has grown and matured, it has become evident that its emphasis on the physiology of speaking and the behavioral accompaniments of speech production and reception are based more on the physical and biological sciences than the humanities and social sciences, the latter being of basic interest to the traditional discipline of Speech. Because of these fundamental differences, there has been a trend toward autonomy, with six of the Big Ten schools having already granted departmental status to the discipline. The size and development of the program appear to justify recognition as a separate department.1 The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this proposal. The University Senates Conference has advised that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved. 1 Since 1965, 135 undergraduate degrees, 160 master's degrees and 18 doctoral degrees have been awarded in speech correction, speech pathology and audiology, and speech and hearing science.
