1981] UNIVERSITY O F ILLINOIS 329 Amendments to Senate Constitution and Bylaws (19) T h e University of Illinois Statutes provide that amendments to the constitutions of the senates shall take effect upon adoption by the senate concerned and approval thereof by the Board of Trustees. Changes in senate bylaws are reported to the board. A proposed amendment to the constitution of the Medical Center Senate is presented below. New language is in italics. Article I I , Section 7 Unexcused absence from two (2) meetings of the Senate per academic year or failure to attend at least two (2) Senate meetings per academic year shall lead to automatic removal from Senate membership. Vacancies so created shall be filled in accordance with Section 8 of this Article. (Proposed changes in the bylaws of the Chicago Circle and Urbana-Champaign Senates are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) On motion of Mr. Howard, the amendment to the Medical Center Senate's constitution was approved. Fee Exemption for Employees of Allied Agencies Who Register as Students, Urbana (20) Since 1973, by board action, University employees who register as students and are already covered under the mandatory state insurance plan are exempted from the health service portion of the hospital-medical-surgical student fee and are not eligible to pay the fee. This action was designed to prevent duplication of health and insurance benefits. In July 1976 the board approved a recommendation that the exemption and ineligibility also be applied to employees of the Athletic Association at the UrbanaChampaign campus, the University Alumni Association and the University Foundation in order that they be treated in a manner consistent with University employees. The chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus now recommends that the exemption and ineligibility relating to the health service portion of the hospitalmedical-surgical student fee be extended to University of Illinois Employee's Credit Union and Levis Faculty Center Sponsors, Inc. employees when they register as students and are already covered by the health service plan of their employer. Although no employees of the Levis Faculty Center Sponsors, Inc., would be directly affected at this time, 1 this action will provide consistent treatment for all of these allied agencies. The executive vice president concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved. Recommendations of the University Patent Committee (21) The University Patent Committee has submitted the following recommendations relating to discoveries and developments by staff members. Background information concerning these recommendations has been sent to the Committee on Patents of the Board of Trustees. 1.
