174 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 19 Professor H . W . KENDELL, Head of the Department of Physical Medicine. The Office of the Surgeon General, Department of the Army, has requested the services of Professor Kendell as a civilian consultant to advise the Theater Surgeon in the Pacific Area and the hospital staffs on the treatment of patients. This will require Professor Kendell's absence from the University for a period of approximately thirty days beginning November I, 1948. On motion of Mr. Davis, the action of the President in granting these leaves of absence was approved and confirmed. AMENDMENT OF CLASS SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NONACADEMIC PERSONNEL (3) In the volume of Class Specifications and Compensation Plan appear separately listed statements concerning each position classification of the University civil service. Each statement includes three parts: Definitions, Duties by Example, and Qualifications. The paragraph on Qualifications sets forth details as to training, experience, and personal qualifications normally considered as those necessary for satisfactory job performance. By their very nature, most of these statements of qualification are specific. In the majority of cases the specific qualifications as set forth are obtainable and desirable in the form listed. Occasionally there is an applicant who, while not possessing exactly the qualifications as printed in our description, has a combination of other or different qualifications which make his employment or promotion highly desirable. The Director of Nonacadcmic Personnel recommends that the Class Specifications and Compensation Plan be amended to include the following paragraph: "Under exceptional circumstances training or experience deemed equivalent in value though differing in detail may be substituted for that specified on recommendation of the department head and approval of the Director of Nonacademic Personnel." T h e Legal Counsel has advised that it is within the power of the Board of Trustees under the State Civil Service Law to adopt this amendment. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, this amendment was adopted as recommended.
