1979] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 403 Discontinuance of the Teacher Education Minor in Coaching, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved the discontinuance of the teacher education minor in coaching. The Illinois Office of Education State Certification Board does not recognize coaching as a certifiable area, either as a major or a secondary field. The teacher education minor in physical education has been revised to allow students to become certified as physical education teachers in Illinois schools. This report was received for record. Curriculum and Department Name Changes, Urbana (Report for Information) (17) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved changes in the name of a curriculum and of a department. The new designations will be reported to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. I The designations of the curriculum preparatory to teaching mentally handicapped children and the Bachelor of Science in the Education of Mentally Handicapped Children have been changed to: curriculum for preparation of teachers of moderately and severely handicapped persons, and Bachelor of Science in Special Education. In addition, the program is now designed for entry in the junior year instead of the sophomore year and emphasizes education of the moderately and severely handicapped rather than the mildly or educably handicapped as has been the case under the existing program. II The name of the Department of Veterinary Pathology and Hygiene has been changed to: Department of Veterinary Pathobiology. The use of the word hygiene does not now effectively describe the activities of the department which include microbiology, parasitology, pathology, and public health. The change was agreed to by two-thirds of the members of the department. This report was received for record. Amendments to Senates Constitutions and Bylaws (18) The University of Illinois Statutes provide that amendments to the constitutions of the senates shall take effect upon adoption by the senate concerned and approval thereof by the Board of Trustees. Changes to senate bylaws are reported to the board. A proposed amendment to the constitution of the Urbana-Champaign Senate is presented below. (Proposed changes in the bylaws of the three senates are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) In both instances, new language is underscored; deletions are in brackets. Article I, Section 5 — A quorum necessary for a Senate meeting shall consist of a majority of senators elected and serving. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. The chancellors at the Chicago Circle and the Medical Center campuses, the acting chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, and the vice president for academic affairs concur in the recommended changes in the constitution and bylaws. I recommend approval of the amendment to the constitution of the UrbanaChampaign Senate; and receipt of bylaw changes for the three senates.
