592 B O A R D OF T R U S T E E S [May 9 provisions of the appropriate Campus Administrative Manual and for the periods indicated. The vice president for academic affairs has reviewed the requests and concurs in the recommendation. I concur. Chicago CREASIE FINNEY HAIRSTON, dean, Jane Addams College of Social Work since August 15, 1991, has requested leave for the period of November 4, 1996, through March 6, 1997. Dr. Hairston proposes to develop her leadership skills as a senior administrator and scholar by strengthening her knowledge of the changing environment for social welfare services and higher education through a concentrated period of study. (Subsequently this leave was canceled without prejudice.) Urbana-Champaign SUSAN T. GONZO, associate provost since March 21, 1996, has requested leave for the period of March 1 through June 30, 1997. Dr. Gonzo was first appointed at the assistant vice chancellor level August 21, 1985. She will use her leave to study language maintenance, change and loss at the level of intergenerational transmission, and the implications of the findings for language policy and educational practice. EDWARD E. SULLIVAN, JR., associate dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences since 1988, has requested leave for the period of February 1 through May 31, 1997. Dr. Sullivan proposes to develop strategies for the enhancement and expansion of international study programs. Specifically, his studies will seek to increase opportunities for overseas student internships and to increase study abroad enrollment by traditionally under-represented student groups. On motion of Dr. Bacon, these leaves were granted as recommended. Revision of the Undergraduate Degree Program Structure, College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, Urbana (7) The chancellor at Urbana, upon the recommendation of the Urbana-Champaign Senate, has approved a proposal from the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) to revise the undergraduate degree program structure. The need for these changes stems from the August 1995 reorganization of the College of ACES. Currently, the College of ACES offers programs leading to 21 different baccalaureate degrees. This proposal eliminates eight degrees, changes the names of twelve degrees, and leaves one degree unchanged. (See the following table for a list of the changes.) This proposal affects only the degree titles, not the programs leading to them; and any future programmatic modifications will be submitted to the board for approval in accordance with the established procedures for curricular revision. The vice president for academic affairs concurs with 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 Dr. Bacon, this recommendation was approved.
