autonomously. I t arranges for clinical and field work experience for its students in a variety of facilities offering health care services which differ markedly from those required by the college. Accreditation of its programs is also separate from that in medicine — all practices that are in accord with national trends. T h e chancellor at the Medical Center and the vice president for academic affairs concur in the recommendations. 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.

O n motion of M r . Livingston, this recommendation was approved. Changes in Policy and Rules — Nonacademic

(17) In July 1970 the trustees authorized the University of Illinois to join other senior public institutions of higher education in Illinois in a Uniform Plan Relating to Employee Benefits, for nonacademic employees who serve under the State Universities Civil Service System. Since that time University policy has been consistent with the provisions of that plan. T h e Civil Service Merit Board, which governs the State Universities Civil Service System, has recommended that the plan be amended to increase the number of relatives for whom paid funeral leave will be granted. The university director of personnel services and the vice president for administration now have recommended that the University's Policy and Rules — Nonacademic be made consistent with the plan by the following revision in Chapter XI, University Policy, Section D : Present Upon his/her request, an eligible employee shall be granted at his/her regular rate of pay Funeral Leave of up to three workdays for the death of a member of his/her immediate family or household, and of one day for the death of a relative outside his/her immediate family or household. Leaves beyond these amounts may be approved under special circumstances. Proposed Paid leave of up to three work days will be granted to an eligible employee upon the death of a member of the employee's immediate family, household, in-laws, and/or grandparents of immediate family; and one day to attend the funeral of a relative outside the employee's immediate family or household. Leaves beyond these amounts may be approved under special circumstances. Immediate family is defined as: father, mother, sister, brother, spouse, and children. In-laws are defined as mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-inlaw, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law.

I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . L e n z , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
