Sabbatical Leave of Absence, 1979-80, Urbana

(12) On motion of Mr. Neal, one sabbatical leave of absence recommended by the chancellor at Urbana-Champaign was granted. This leave will be included in an annual compilation of 1979-80 sabbatical leaves of absence to be made a part of the board Proceedings.

Promotions in Academic Rank, 1979-80

(13) T h e chancellors at the respective campuses have submitted recommendations for promotions in academic rank in accordance with the attached lists — effective at the beginning of the 1979-80 appointment year. (These lists are filed with the secretary of the board.)

1 The Resident Studies Program in the Center for Advanced Study is devoted to studies in selected scholarly and professional areas of significance to the future of the Urbana campus. Many of these studies will simultaneously be addressing problems of both broad regional and national interest. Resident associates are selected from individuals at Urbana and elsewhere on the basis of their qualifications and their interest in the^ designated areas. They are appointed for one or twoyear terms on recommendation of the president. By negotiation, resident associates may be freed from their regular duties to devote themselves more fully to research. 1 The plan, approved on June 20, 1973, provides for paid leaves of two to four months for certain administrative officers for the purpose of "keeping abreast of developments in their profession and to find time to design new approaches to their tasks."
