514 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 14 requirements will be necessary. Most of the enrollment in the program is expected to be from students who would otherwise be in the existing undergraduate computer science, mathematics/computer science, and statistics programs and, therefore, internal reallocation will take place. T h e chancellor and the acting vice president for academic affairs concur. 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. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved. President's Report on Actions of the Senates Transfer of the Office of Gerontology and Aging Studies to the College of Applied Life Studies, Urbana (14) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the transfer of the Office of Gerontology and Aging Studies from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research to the College of Applied Life Studies. The transfer was proposed in order to locate the office in the Institute for Research on Human Development. T h e institute will provide the supportive context for the facilitation and support of interdisciplinary research on aging. T h e institute and the college will reallocate faculty and support resources as necessary to support the current Gerontology and Aging Studies Office functions. Elimination of the Teacher Education Minor in Geography, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the elimination of the Teacher Education Minor in Geography, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. T h e minor, as it exists now, does not guarantee that the student who completes it will be qualified to teach geography in the public schools of Illinois. T h e minor has not been completed by anyone for the last six years, and students who wish to teach geography qualify to do so by including the appropriate course work in their teacher education majors of social science or one of the physical science options. This report was received for record. Change in Name, Department of Anatomical Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Urbana (15) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended a change in the name of the Department of Anatomical Sciences to the Department of Cell and Structural Biology, School of Life Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. T h e name "cell and structural biology" fits the direction the School of Life Sciences intends to develop in the research and teaching programs of the unit. With the emergence of cell and molecular biology as academic disciplines, departments with like names are becoming increasingly popular. This change from anatomical sciences to cell and structural biology will greatly facilitate the recruitment of new faculty, be more attractive for prospective graduate and undergraduate students, and more accurately reflect the research and teaching activities of the department. This change would be effective immediately upon approval. T h e chancellor at Urbana and the acting vice president for academic affairs concur. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that n o further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved.
