510 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 8 (2) Permit campuses to use waiver authority to: • supplement the base-rate tuition earned by virtue of appointment as a graduate assistant, up to the full tuition assessment for that student. • award tuition waivers as, or to supplement, a graduate scholarship for students not appointed as graduate assistants. All current graduate assistants will be grandfathered. Board Actions (1) T h e Board of Trustees amends Article IV, Section 5 of The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure as follows: For graduate assistants, waiver of base-rate tuition is granted for all University graduate assistants on appointment for at least 25 percent but not more than 67 percent of full-time s e r v i c e . . . . (2) T h e Board of Trustees rescinds all past actions regarding non-assistantship-related waiver authority for graduate students and replaces them with the following policy: The Board of Trustees authorizes the president of the University or his designee(s) to award a limited number of tuition and fee waivers for graduate students and report to the board on the number authorized, by campus, as part of the annual budget and tuition setting process. Both actions will be effective Fall 1996. T h e vice president for academic affairs has consulted the University Senates Conference on these matters and recommends approval. I concur. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, these recommendations were approved. (Mr. Malone and Mr. Rose asked to be recorded as casting advisory votes of "no" on this item.) Redesignation of Buildings, Chicago (6) T h e interim chancellor at Chicago has recommended that the following buildings each now designated by an outdated or insufficiently descriptive name be changed to facilitate recognition by students, visitors, and others. In each case the proposed name is descriptive of the primary unit that occupies that building. Current Name Proposed Name Administrative Services Building Human Resources Building Services Building Physical Plant Building Student Residence and Commons Student Residence and North Commons Courtyard Building I concur. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved. Redesignation of Engineering Research Laboratory, Urbana (7) T h e dean of the College of Engineering at Urbana-Champaign has recommended that the Engineering Research Laboratory be redesignated the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. This building is located on the Grainger Quadrangle. At present both names are used and it is important that one name be officially given to the building for clarity. This new name better describes the work of the faculty and students who currently occupy this building. T h e chancellor at Urbana recommends that the Engineering Research Laboratory be redesignated the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. T h e vice president for academic affairs concurs.
