1996] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 629 School of Health and Human Services to eliminate the graduate curriculum and Master of Arts degree in Psychology. The campus cites two reasons for the elimination of this degree. First, the American Psychological Association, the major national professional organization for psychologists, has continued to aggressively lobby against any effort to legitimize the M.A. practitioner in clinical psychology. The program staff is concerned that their students will be hindered in their professional pursuits without licensure. For the program's graduates to pursue State licensure as counselors (not psychologists), the curriculum would have to be altered significantly. Psychology program faculty believe such changes could potentially duplicate the efforts of the UIS Human Development Counseling program. Second, staffing at the present level is not sufficient to support both a graduate and an undergraduate program. Program faculty believe that students will be best served by focusing energy and resources on the undergraduate program. In anticipation of this action, the school suspended new enrollments in the program beginning with Fall 1995. The provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs and the vice president for academic affairs concur with this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 16 through 46 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.) Redesignation of Satellite Union Building, University of Illinois at Chicago (16) The chancellor at Chicago recommends that the Satellite Union Building be redesignated "On The Mall." The Satellite Union Building was constructed in 1982. The proposed redesignation will adopt the commonly-used name as the official name of the building. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.) Interim Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 1997 (17) In recent years, the trustees have approved the continuation of the previous year's budget into the next fiscal year when legislative action upon University appropriations was not completed in time to be translated into detailed budget recommendations. Inasmuch as the situation described is expected to occur again this year, the president of the University requests authorization to continue in effect, beginning
