140 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 15 Separate the current Master of Arts in Communication and Theater program (in LAS) to the Master of Arts in Communication (in LAS) and the Master of Arts in Theater (in the Department of Performing Arts). Transfer the dance option under the B.S. in Kinesiology from the College of Kinesiology to the Department of Performing Arts in AAUP as an option under the B.A. in Theater (see above). The vice president for academic affairs concurs in these recommendations. The University Senates Conference has indicated no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Ms. Reese, these recommendations were approved. Consolidation of the Department of Linguistics and the Department of English, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Chicago (11) The chancellor, at Chicago, upon the recommendation of the Chicago Senate and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, recommends that the Department of Linguistics and the Department of English be consolidated into a single department to be called the Department of English. The current missions of the two departments as well as their degree programs will be preserved under the new consolidated administrative structure. The consolidation of these two departments is designed to bring about improved administrative efficiencies and productivity, including the sharing of support staff, equipment, services, and space. Further, the consolidation will reduce the substantial overlap between the teaching and research interests of the two departments, thus allowing for greater attention to the educational needs and demands of students. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference-has indicated no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved. Consolidation of the Department of Pharmaceutics and the Department of Pharmacodynamics, College of Pharmacy, Chicago (12) The chancellor at Chicago, upon the recommendation of the Chicago Senate and the College of Pharmacy, in consultation with faculty from the respective departments, recommends that the Department of Pharmaceutics and the Department of Pharmacodynamics be consolidated into a single department to be called the Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmacodynamics. The natural fit between these pharmaceutical science specialties allows for closer teaching and research relationships, and more efficient use of equipment and space, thus reducing administrative costs substantially. Further, programmatic efforts should be enhanced as a result of ensuing productivity efforts of the single department. The proposed consolidation will not affect the programmatic requirements of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program, nor does it change the degree requirements of the graduate program in pharmacy. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved.
