1980J UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 607 May 31, 1981. H e plans to conduct a study of the educational system of Greece to aid admissions officers in the evaluation and placement of applicants to U.S. colleges and universities of applicants from that country. EARL W. PORTER, secretary of the University and of the Board of Trustees since September 1966, has requested leave for the period August 1 through September 30, 1980, and January 15 through March 15, 1981. He plans to undertake a study of presidential selection at large public universities, in particular, at university "systems" in California, Missouri, Texas, Wisconsin, and at other institutions in the United States. On motion of Mr. Lenz, the preceding recommendations were approved. By consensus the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each of the next seven items. T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. Curriculum Development Grants for Summer 1980, Chicago Circle (14) T h e Curriculum Development Grant program at the Chicago Circle campus seeks to encourage better teaching at all levels by systematic improvement of existing courses or development of new courses. T h e grants generally provide a fulltime salary for two months to the recipients. The evaluation and selection has been carried out by a campuswide committee which makes its recommendations to the vice chancellor for academic affairs. From eleven applications for the summer of 1980, the vice chancellor has recommended to the chancellor grants to the following faculty members whose projects are believed to hold the greatest potential benefit: Salary Expenses Total Donald L. Ehresmann $6210 -0$6210 associate professor of history of architecture and art Gideon Falk 5 067 -05 067 assistant professor of management Charles J. James 3 778 125 3 903 assistant professor of German Harold A. Simon 7 024 -07 024 professor of heat transfer in energy engineering $22 079 $125 $22 204 Funds for this program will be included in the Chicago Circle campus operating budget authorization request for Fiscal Year 1981 to be submitted to the Board of Trustees. These grants are subject to the availability of such funds. T h e chancellor at Chicago Circle and the vice president for academic affairs concur in the recommendation. I recommend approval. Increbse in Student Service Fee, Urbana (15) O n April 17, 1980, the Board of Trustees approved increases in student service fees for 1980-81. T h e chancellor at Urbana-Champaign now has recommended that the service fee at that campus be further increased by $1.00 (for the fall semester, 1980 only) to provide funds for the support of student government. Throughout the 1979-80 academic year students at the Urbana campus have developed a proposal for a more formal student government; the proposal was approved by referendum (796 in favor of the proposed constitution; 614 opposed). Accordingly, it is the chancellor's intention to treat the new Student Government Association (SGA) as the primary forum for expression of student views.
