I concur, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Ms. Lopez, this recommendation was approved. Redesignate the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning, Chicago

(9) The chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate, the Graduate College, and the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning, recommends the redesignation of the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning as the College of Architecture and the Arts. On January 9, 1995, the Illinois Board of Higher Education approved the creation of the new College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs at the Chicago campus. One of the units comprising the new college will be the former School of Urban Planning and Policy which is to be transferred from the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning to the new college. As a consequence of this transfer, it is necessary for the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning to select a new name that accurately identifies the units in the college and describes the common focus and programs represented. The college recommends the name: College of Architecture and the Arts. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur, pending further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Ms. Lopez, this recommendation was approved. Transfer the Master of Public Administration Program to the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, Chicago

(10) The chancellor at Chicago, with the advice of the Chicago Senate, the Graduate College, and the Master of Public Administration Program faculty, recommends the transfer of the governance and the associated budget of the Master of Public Administration (MPA) Program from the Graduate College to the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs. The MPA Program will become one of the academic units to comprise the new College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs. The relationship of the MPA Program to the Graduate College will be the same as the Graduate College has to all graduate programs that report to deans of other colleges. All of the Graduate College's academic policies, procedures, and practices will continue to apply to the Master of Public Administration Program. The vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I concur.

On motion of Ms. Lopez, this recommendation was approved. Rate Changes for University-Operated Housing Facilities, Chicago and Urbana

(11) The chancellors at each campus have recommended rate changes for Universityoperated housing for the 1995-96 academic year. The increases are required to meet operational costs (salaries and wages, utilities, general price increases, including food) and to provide for debt service and repair and replacement reserve requirements.
