Special Awards Final reports will be submitted by recipients of regular awards, following the end of the 1971 summer term. Based upon an evaluation of the accomplishments under these grants, a special award of $1,000 would be made to the individuals) for each of the completed projects that are judged to be the most outstanding in terms of probable contribution to undergraduate education. Funds in the amount of $6,000 are available for the special awards from a grant provided by Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation. A special intercampus committee appointed by the Executive Vice President and Provost will review project reports proposed by each campus for special awards, and will submit nominations to him for recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The Executive Vice President and Provost endorses these recommendations and further recommends that funds for these awards and associated expenses be assigned from the salary reserves and expense reserves at the respective campuses. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, these recommendations were approved.

REORGANIZATION OF T H E COLLEGE OF BUSINESS A D M I N I S T R A T I O N , CHICAGO CIRCLE

(11) The Dean and the faculty of the College of Business Administration have recommended, and the Chicago Circle Senate has approved, the reorganization of the College by the establishment of the following departments — each with a qualified head and with responsibility for the undergraduate curriculum indicated: Department of Accounting: major in accounting Department of Economics: major in economics Department of Finance: major in finance Department of Management: major in management Department of Marketing: major in marketing Department of Quantitative Methods: major in quantitative methods Departmentalization of the College was initially approved by this Board. However, at the request of the first dean, Dr. Raymond Coleman, permission was granted to experiment with an "area" type of organization. This arrangement is inconsistent with the organizational pattern prevailing generally within the University whose unit, as defined by the Statutes, is the department. Each department proposed has a recognized body of knowledge, referred journals, and scholarly societies. Each also represents a discipline commonly found in leading schools of business and is reflected in the organization structure of such schools. Informal organization along the lines recommended has already been instituted, including the position of coordinator, a faculty, and an approved major for each of these areas. The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in the recommendation.
