REVISION O F UNIVERSITY O F ILLINOIS STATUTES

(IS) The last general revision of the University of Illinois Statutes was adopted by the Board of Trustees on January 16, 1957. Since that time, numerous individual amendments to the 1957 Statutes have been approved, but these were not fully reflective of the many changes in the University's organization which have come about in recent years. These changes, most notably the advent of the Chancellorship system and the development of the Chicago Circle campus, have left some entire sections and many scattered references in the 1957 Statutes obsolete. In order to review these problems systematically, the process of updating and revision of the Statutes was begun by administrative officers. Early in the process, faculty consultation was provided by the appropriate committees of the three Senates which assumed much of the labor involved in the process. The revised version, which is essentially an up-dating of the 1957 Statutes, has the approval of the three Senates, the University Senates Conference, the Chancellors at the three campuses and the Executive Vice President and Provost. These revised University Statutes would become effective immediately upon approval by the Board of Trustees and all previous versions and editions of corresponding statutes would be superseded on that date. I recommend approval. M r . H o w a r d moved the approval of the revision as submitted.
