1994] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 519 All faculty in these centers were full-time UIUC faculty prior to the establishment of the centers; therefore, no faculty will be displaced. Furthermore, no other units of instruction, degrees, or public service initiatives will be affected by these changes. The chancellor at Urbana recommends approval. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. The University Senates Conference indicates that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further review by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. Redesignate and Revise the Major in Asian Studies, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana (15) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a proposal of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to redesignate and revise the requirements of the major in Asian Studies. The new name of the major will be East Asian Languages and Cultures, a name consistent with the title of the academic department established in 1991. Like the existing Asian Studies major, the revised major will require three years' study of Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. In addition, it will require eight nonlanguage courses on East Asia: a general introduction to East Asian civilizations, a course on premodern culture, an additional history course, an additional literature course, a research seminar, and three other East Asia-related courses. At least 4 of the 8 nonlanguage courses must be at the 300-level. The existing Asian Studies major contains tracks focusing on literature, civilization, or society, but in practice only the latter option has been chosen by nearly all students because of their strong interest in contemporary East Asia. Eliminating these tracks will emphasize the interdisciplinary character of the major. The revised major is comparable in aims and requirements to those of other area studies and interdisciplinary programs, both at UIUC and at major universities nationally. No additional staff or funding is required. The chancellor at Urbana recommends approval of the proposal. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. The University Senates Conference indicates that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further review by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. Redesignate the Division of Health Resources Management, School of Public Health, Chicago (16) The chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate, the Graduate College, and the School of Public Health, recommends the redesignation of the Division of Health Resources Management as the Division of Health Policy and Administration. The redesignation will enhance the image and mission of this division by providing a name that is closer to the mainstream of comparable programs elsewhere in the country and will highlight a policy emphasis in both education and research, coupled with its traditional role of education for health administration and management. 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, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved.
