UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

271

The agreements now have been formulated for exchange of services, facilities, stipends, tuition, and fees between the University and the foreign institutions. The Chancellor at Urbana-Champaign has recommended that tuition waivers be granted for a maximum of two students from the University of Los Andes, two students from the Technical University of Munich, and six students from the Unite Pedagogique d'Architecture No. 3, to be continuous from year to year, in exchange for similar services and facilities awarded to University of Illinois students and staff at the three foreign universities. I recommend approval.

Mr. Howard moved approval, with the understanding that the recommendation include a request that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute the agreements. The motion was unanimously approved.

SUSPENSION O F TUITION AND SERVICE FEE WAIVER REGULATION. URBANA

(11) Under regulations approved by the Board of Trustees on February 21, 1962, academic staff members who hold appointments requiring service for not less than three-fourths of a term are entitled to applicable exemptions1 from tuition and service fees. For the summer term, this is interpreted as a minimum of six weeks. With the advent of the early calendar (reported to the Board in February, 1972), normal summer appointments for research assistants and others may, in some instances, have to be reduced to periods less than six weeks. In order to alleviate the financial problem posed for the affected staff members and to provide a smooth transition to the new calendar, the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has proposed that, for fee exemption purposes during the 1973 and 1974 summer terms only, an academic staff appointment must require service for not less than one-half of the term. (This is interpreted as a minimum of four weeks.) The Vice President for Planning and Resource Allocation concurs in this proposal. I recommend approval.

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

AMENDMENT OF SENATE CONSTITUTION, URBANA

(12) Under Article II, Section 1 of the University Statutes, amendments to a Senate Constitution must be approved by the Board of Trustees, and changes in the By-laws of a campus Senate must be reported to the Board. Recently the Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved several changes in its Constitution. The recommended amendments to the Constitution for which approval is recommended are printed below. (Changes in the By-laws have also been made and will be reported for the information of the Board at a later date.) The Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus concurs in the recommended changes. I recommend approval-

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

Proposed Amendments to the Urbana-Champaign Senate Constitution I. Add a section to Article II saying: A faculty Senator can be recalled by a vote of two-thirds of the members of his voting unit. II. Add a section to Article III saying: A student Senator can be recalled by a vote of two-thirds of those voting in the recall election. III. Add to Article III, Section 6, the following sentence: If such a member is or becomes an elected member of the Senate, he shall not be deprived of his voting rights as a Senator.

1 Appointments up to 67 per cent of full time, but not less than 25 per cent, are entitled to a waiver of tuition and service fees. Appointments in excess of 67 per cent are entitled to a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition, if applicable, and the service fee.
