Modification of Requirements for Admission to Doctor of Pharmacy Degree Program, College of Pharmacy, Medical Center

(9) The faculty and the acting dean of the College of Pharmacy have recommended and the senate at the Medical Center campus has approved an expanded and more detailed admission policy statement for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program. (A copy of the statement is filed with the secretary of the board.) The Doctor of Pharmacy degree program, approved by the Board of Trustees on May 18, 1977, and subsequently approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education on May 2, 1978, provides advanced professional education and training beyond the five-year baccalaureate degree with major emphasis on the clinical sciences and on drug-related patient care. The revised requirements for admission to this program incorporate all current admission requirements while expanding the definition of specific conditions required for admission to the program. The proposed revision would become effective for applicants seeking admission after July 1, 1981. The University Committee on Admissions has endorsed the proposal. The chancellor at the Medical Center and the vice president for academic affairs concur. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved. Department of Anatomical Sciences, Urbana

(10) T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the establishment of the Department of Anatomical Sciences in the School of Life Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. A Provisional Department of Anatomical Sciences was established by the faculty of the School of Life Sciences in 1979 to provide a focus for undergraduate and graduate training and for research in the area. Previously, the anatomical sciences, which deal with the structural aspects of organisms, had been diffused among the other departments in the School of Life Sciences. The grouping of interrelated biological sciences that traditionally form the discipline of anatomical sciences (developmental anatomy, gross anatomy, microanatomy, and neuroanatomy) into a single department is a logical and appropriate academic organization both for the pursuit of knowledge in the discipline and for its transmission to students. The proposed department will draw its faculty from existing departments; there will be no budgetary implications outside the School of Life Sciences. T h e dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the chancellor, and the vice president for academic affairs concur in this recommendation. T h e University Senates Conference has classified this item as a matter affecting one campus only. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
