Amendment of Genera/ Rules (Article V, Section 4 (d) and (g»

(21) T h e University Senates Conference has proposed that the portion of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure relating to the naming of buildings and other campus facilities be amended to incorporate certain material now in the presidential guidelines on the topic.

The proposed amendment of Article V, Section 4 (d) would limit such naming to deceased members of the faculty and to living former members of the faculty who have been retired from the University of Illinois for at least ten years. An editorial amendment in Article V, Section 4 (g) has also been proposed by the University Senates Conference. T h e texts of the proposed amendments follow. The acting vice president for academic affairs recommends the adoption of the proposed amendments. I concur.
