REORGANIZATION O F T H E DEPARTMENT O F N E U R O L O G Y AND N E U R O S U R G E R Y O F T H E C O L L E G E O F MEDICINE, MEDICAL C E N T E R (7) The Medical Center Senate has recommended the establishment of separate departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery to replace the existing Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, effective September 1, 1970. It is believed that the proposed reorganization will establish improved administrative arrangements in the two fields for clinical service and consultation, for student-learning and resident-training programs, and for stimulation of clinic and basic neurological research. It is significant that very few medical schools now have combined departments of neurology and neurosurgery, and of those that do, several are in the process of dividing them. The proposal to create separate departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery recognizes the growth of both disciplines into distinctive specialties, each with its own certifying boards, and each with distinctive patient care, education and research programs. The Dean of the College of Medicine, the Chancellor at the Medical Center campus, and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in the recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. A copy of a statement prepared by the Dean of the College of Medicine describing the proposal in greater detail is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

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

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM T H E UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE ON F E E S 1 (8) The following recommendations from the University Committee on Fees are submitted. I. Changes in Tuition Charges for "Zero-Credit" Courses Several categories of students enroll in courses for zero credit. Some of these students will be taking only such courses; others will be registered for zerocredit courses along with courses taken for credit. Students in either of these two categories may be registered for study on-campus or for off-campus study. It seems desirable to establish uniform policies governing the tuition and fees to be charged for such courses, which will be applicable at all three campuses and which will be related to the tuition-and-fee structure for courses taken for credit. Accordingly, the University Committee on Fees recommends the adoption of the following policies, effective, September 1, 1970. 1. Students taking one or more courses for zero Credit, but no courses for credit, will be assessed for tuition and fees as follows: a. For study on-campus: One half of the Range I I I resident tuition and onehalf of the Range I I I service fee, each rounded to the next higher even dollar, and the full hospital-medical-surgical fee. (No charge will be assessed, however, for University employees who register, at the request of
