448 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 7 during the academic year as compensation for a full load of teaching and graduate student supervision. Summer salaries are provided by grant funds. T h e interim chancellor has recommended establishment of these centers as described. T h e 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 m o t i o n of M r . Wolff, t h i s 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 . Change in Departmental Organization, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, College of Medicine at Peoria (12) T h e Executive Committee and the dean of the College of Medicine have approved a proposal from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at Peoria for a change from the headship organization to that of a chairperson form of organization, effective immediately. I n August 1987, the director of the College of Medicine at Peoria received a written request from six faculty members of the department to call a meeting of the faculty to discuss a change in its organization. In accord with the University of Illinois Statutes (Article IV, Section 4 ) , the director convened a meeting of the faculty of the department to discuss the proposal and to conduct a poll by written secret ballot. There was unanimous vote (9-0) of the eligible faculty to change the organization to a department organized with a chairperson. T h e director concurred in the action. T h e chancellor at Chicago has recommended approval. I concur. On motion of Mr. Wolff, this recommendation was approved. President's Report on Actions of the Senates Redesignation, Master of Associated Medical Sciences, Chicago (13) T h e senate at the Chicago campus has approved a proposal from the College of Associated Health Professions to change the degree titles of the Master of Associated Medical Sciences (in medical laboratory sciences, nutrition and medical dietetics, and occupational therapy) to the Master of Science. T h e program requirements remain the same. Since the M.A.M.S. degree was approved in 1978, the College of Associated Health Professions has served two student clienteles under this single degree program: those who sought professional training and those who wanted a researchoriented program. Because the current requirements emphasize research and are more suited to those who seek a research-based degree program, the change in name is proposed to make that orientation clear. Revision of Undergraduate Requirements for Graduation with Departmental Distinction and High Distinction, Department of Criminal Justice, Chicago T h e Chicago Senate has approved a proposal from the Department of Criminal Justice to revise its criteria for graduation with Departmental Distinction and High Distinction. T h e change consists of lowering the required cumulative grade point average from 4.50 (A «= 5.00) to 4.25, and raising the grade point average required in all criminal justice courses from 4.25 to 4.50.
