488 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 19 The following recommendations for strengthening the system are now submitted: 1. Responsibility for monitoring the relationship between the Senate committees' adjudication of conduct rules and the operation of the entire conduct control system on each campus resides with the Chancellor. Beginning in 1972, each Chancellor will report annually to the President in July concerning the operation of the conduct-control system for the preceding academic year at his campus and will assess the general state of conduct governance. 2. The President shall review the annual reports of the Chancellors, shall consult with the Chancellors in developing any recommendations for changes, and shall present an annual report to the Board of Trustees in September concerning the operations of the system during the preceding academic year and any recommendations for change for the ensuing year. 3. The University discipline system shall be separate from general systems established by society to deal with conduct of citizens of society. The existence of a university system does not constitute for anyone connected with the Univerr siry any substitute for, or immunity from, compliance with requirements of law and law enforcement. Likewise, the operations of law enforcement shall not relieve the University system of responsibility for imposing sanctions for conduct inimical to the University institution or its members. 4. Responsibility for making or defining rules of conduct does not lie with campus judicial, adjudicatory, or hearing committees or bodies; those bodies do not have latitude to fail or refuse to adjudicate rules which they do not favor or would not adopt if they had the power of legislation. Adjudicatory processes and the processes of rule-making must be separate. 5. In order to enable committees, hearing officers, and other adjudicatory bodies to apply penalties to fit particular cases, a wider range of fitting sanctions and penalties should be developed. In particular, the sanctions applicable to the varieties of acts covered by the Board's statement of August 12, 1970, as amended September 16, 1970, should be broadened and the statement amended accordingly. 6. The Senate Committees on Student Discipline should accelerate their consideration and implementation of recommendations for improving adjudicatory processes. Each Chancellor, in his monitoring of the operation of judicial processes and conduct governance, and in his reports to the President, should include recommendations for improving the system at his campus. He should also report on the record of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline in adapting the campus system to needed improvements and changing conditions. No university appears at this time to have developed a completely effective student conduct judicial system. These recommendations stress the responsibility of the Senate Committees on Student Discipline to strive toward attainment of such systems for the campuses of the University of Illinois. Mr. Howard, expressing his view that the report and recommendations should be looked on as interim in character, moved approval of the report and recommendations as submitted. The motion was approved unanimously. A W A R D OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT CERTIFICATES (2) The Committee on Accountancy recommends that the certificate of Certified Public Accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to five candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked Certified Public Accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law. A list of the candidates is filed with the Secretary. I concur. On motion of M r . Steger, these certificates were awarded. APPOINTMENT OF VICE CHANCELLOR, CHICAGO CIRCLE (3) The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus has recommended the appointment of Dr. Eugene Eidenberg, as Vice Chancellor and Associate Professor of
