NAME CHANGES O F DEPARTMENTS IN T H E COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, URBANA

(10) The Acting Chancellor at Urban a-Champaign has recommended approval of changes in the names of two departments in the College of Education, effective March 1, 1974: (1) It is proposed that the name of the Department of Elementary Education be changed to the Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education. Due in part to the massive Federal interest in early childhood education, the field of elementary education has shifted its focus to the early years. This interest is manifest in the number of students interested in advanced study in early childhood education, in the number of positions open in that area, and in the research opportunities that are available. (2) It is proposed that the name of the Department of History^ and Philosophy of Education be changed to the Department of Educational Policy Studies. The change indicates a Departmental shift toward greater emphasis on social science data and methodology and research interests which cross disciplinary lines. The Dean of the College of Education and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval.

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