Discontinue the Master of Science Degree in Radiology, College of Medicine, Chicago

(12) The chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate, the Graduate College, and the College of Medicine, recommends the discontinuation of the Master of Science in Radiology degree. The Master of Science in Radiology program has been inactive since 1984. There have been no students in the program and no graduates since that time. Consequently, the College of Medicine seeks to discontinue it. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval and will notify the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Discontinue the Master of Science Degree in Orthopaedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Chicago

(13) The chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate, the Graduate College, and the College of Medicine, recommends the discontinuation of the Master of Science in Orthopaedic Surgery degree. The Master of Science in Orthopaedic Surgery program has been inactive since 1986. There have been no students in the program and no graduates since that time. Consequently, the College of Medicine seeks to discontinue it. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval and will notify the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. Discontinue Centers, College of Engineering, Urbana

(14) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal from the College of Engineering to discontinue four research centers organized as units within the college. The centers are: the Advanced Environmental Control Technology Center, the Advanced Construction Technology Center, the National Center for Composite Materials Research, and the Center for Cement Composite Materials Research. The centers were externally funded for varying periods of time; with the cessation of external funding, there is no longer any need for a special designation of these centers.
