TRANSFER O F ADMINISTRATIVE JURISDICTION OF T H E COMPUTERBASED EDUCATION RESEARCH LABORATORY, URBANA

(7) The Director of the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory has recommended to the Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign the transfer of the Laboratory, now a special unit of the Graduate College, to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs effective February 1, 1973. The Compute r-based_ Education Research Laboratory was established in July 1966 as a special unit in the Graduate College and has remained a part of that college during the technological development of the PLATO system. That development has been largely completed, and the Laboratory is now considered a unit relevant to the entire educational mission of the campus, not just to the graduate segment. The Urbana-Champaign Senate Committee on General Policy concurred in the transfer and determined that, since no substantial change in educational policy would occur, full Senate approval was not required. The Executive Committee of the Graduate College, the Research Board, the Acting Dean and former Dean of the Graduate College support the transfer. The Chancellor and Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved.

CHANGE IN HOUSING REGULATIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. URBANA

(8) At the Urbana-Champaign campus, the University presently requires all single undergraduate men and women with less than seventy-five hours of academic credit or under twenty-one years of age as of September 1 of any particular academic year to live in_ housing certified by the University for the entire academic year. This regulation, modified from that of previous years, was approved by the Board of Trustees in March 1972. After extensive study, and with concurrence of the Director of the Housing Division and the Vice Chancellor for Campus Affairs, the Chancellor has recommended that the following policy be adopted for the Urbana-Champaign campus effective August 1973. All single undergraduate men and women who will be twenty-one years of age or who have achieved junior status (sixty semester hours of academic credit) by August 15 of the academic year may elect to live in housing of their choice. All other single undergraduate students must reside in certified housing for the entire academic year unless specific permission is granted by the Vice Chancellor for Campus Affairs. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr, Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Neal, Mr. Pogue; no, Mr, Forsyth, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Walker.
