Such recommendations shall ordinarily originate with the subunit, or, in the case of a group not organized as a subunit, with the person (s) in charge of the work concerned, and shall be presented to the director for transmission with the director's recommendation to the dean of the college. The performance of the [dean or] director shall be evaluated at least once every five years[.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, these amendments were adopted. Designation of Buildings, Chicago

(11) T h e chancellor at Chicago has recommended that t h e following buildings, each now designated by either an outdated name or by a street address, be renamed as indicated. In each instance, the new name is descriptive of the primary unit that occupies the building. Current Name General Hospital Medical Sciences Addition Illinois Surgical Institute 1919 West Taylor Street Old Aeromedical Laboratory 1140 South Paulina Hunt Building Proposed Name Clinical Sciences North Building Medical Sciences Building Medical Sciences South Building Associated Health Professions Building Magnetic Resonance Imaging Facility Personnel Services Building Chemical Engineering Building

Each of these proposed names is consistent with the campus practice of naming academic buildings along functional lines. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Assignment of Ownership and Copyright in Computer Software Authored by R. S. Michalski
