Chapter X V I I •— Statutory and Interinstitutional Benefits Since January 1, 1972, coverage of benefits under the Unemployment Compensation Act has been extended to University employees. The University Director of Nonacademic Personnel proposes the following change in the policy section of Chapter X V I I , "Statutory and Interinstitutional Benefits" of the Policy and Rules — Nonacademic to make it clear that the rules and procedures in that chapter are not limited to benefits under the State Universities Retirement System and the University Civil Service System. (The change is underscored.) The State Universities Retirement System and the University Civil Service System of Illinois provide retirement, seniority and interinstitutional continuous service credit transfer benefits, all as prescribed by state law and regulations issued thereunder. Certain other benefits also are provided by federal and state laws. The President of the University shall issue rules for the granting and administration of these benefits within the University. H e also (1) may establish reciprocal arrangements for recognition of past service credits with other employers relating to such benefits and (2) may grant tuition waivers (but not service fee waiver) up to a maximum of six credit hours or two courses per term or semester to nonacademic employees of other institutions and agencies under the University Civil Service System of Illinois. I concur in the recommendations that the policy changes presented be approved. (Upon approval of the policy changes, I shall approve implementation of the provisions of the Act in the form of rule amendments to Chapter X I I I , "Vacation and Personal Leave," and Chapter X V I I , "Statutory and Interinstitutional Benefits," of the Policy and Rules — Nonacademic.) On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved. ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT OF SCULPTURE.
