addressed. Such a review would provide the affected and concerned groups within the University, including the Board of Trustees, with a framework within which an analysis can take place. T o undertake the review described, I recommend the establishment by the president of the University of a committee to study the consolidation of the Chicago campuses. The committee will be constituted as follows: eight faculty members, three from each Chicago campus, one from Urbana, and one from the general University; two students, one each from the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses; two nonacademic employees, one each from the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses; and four administrators, one from each of the three campuses and one from the general University, a total of sixteen persons. The vice president for administration, the chief planning officer of the University, would be designated as chairman. T h e president would consult with each chancellor before appointing committee members from that campus. A professional staff, representative of each of the Chicago campuses and the general University, would be available to support the work of the committee and appropriate adjustments made in the assignment of their time and duties. T h e committee will gather facts, hear testimony, prepare an analysis, and make recommendations on questions posed to it by the president. It is my intent that the committee be charged to make findings and recommendations for transmittal to the president of the university. In turn, I will transmit the committee's findings to the University community in general, including the University Senates Conference, the campus senates, and ultimately the Board of Trustees, for advice and comment. In due course, I will propose to the Board of Trustees the next appropriate steps to be taken, based upon the committee's findings, comments from the University community, and my judgment. It is anticipated that the work of the committee can be completed in a period of approximately one year. A careful and balanced study is required and I have confidence in the ability of the University and its staff to make such a study. I recommend approval of the committee structure and charge as outlined above and as described in the accompanying memorandum. (A copy of the memorandum is filed with the secretary.)

O n motion of Mr. Howard, approval was given as recommended. ( I t was made clear that periodic reports on the work of the committee will be presented to the Board of Trustees.) O n motion of Dr. Donoghue, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each of the next ten items. T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(5) The Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded to 985 candidates who passed the standard written examination given in November 1979 in Illinois, and who have fulfilled all other legal requirements under Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended. The names of the candidates are filed with the secretary The Committee on Accountancy also recommends that the certificate of certified public accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to fourteen candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked certified public accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify, in all other respects, under this provision of the law.
