1972] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 21 the Dean of the College of Education and the Director of the School of Physical Education, with the support of their respective faculties and approval of the Chicago Circle Senate, have recommended that the School of Physical Education be established as an independent administrative unit. The principal reasons for the proposed change are as follows: 1. The role and mission of the two educational units (College of Education and School of Physical Education) are too diverse for efficient administration. 2. A separate unit affords freedom of administrative operation in matters pertaining to educational philosophy, curricula, budget, faculty, and facilities. 3. The breadth of offerings in the School — professional education, intercollegiate athletics, intramural sports, recreation, and general education — is too great for effective operation within the College of Education. 4. The ability of the School to recruit a highly qualified faculty will be enhanced if a separate unit exists. 5. A separate and independent unit enhances effective relationships with the other colleges and schools. The Chancellor at Chicago Circle and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. O n motion of Mr. H a h n , this recommendation was approved. REVISION OF STATUTES RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS (21) At the May 17, 1972, meeting, the Board of Trustees provisionally approved the deletion or revision of several sections of the University Statutes dealing with the functions and designations of certain administrative officers and the deletion of sections dealing with three organizations, the Institute of Aviation, the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, and the Institute of Government and Public Affairs. The proposed revisions were referred to the Senates and to the University Senates Conference for their information and advice. The University Senates Conference and the three Senates have now approved the revisions as proposed. I recommend that final approval be given to the revisions as provisionally adopted on May 17, 1972. O n motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation and the proposed revisions of the University Statutes were approved by the following vote: Aye, M r . Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , Mr. H o w a r d , M r . H u g h e s , M r . Karnes, M r . Pogue, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, M r . Neal, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Steger. UNIVERSITY MEMBERSHIP IN THE ILLINOIS EDUCATIONAL CONSORTIUM FOR COMPUTER SERVICES (22) On January 19, 1972, the Trustees received and approved a report from the President of the University concerning the status of discussions among the several presidents and chancellors of the public senior institutions of higher education in Illinois concerning proposals related to a "Public Corporation for Computers in Education." The report provided a general outline of steps to be taken leading to organizational arrangements for a consortium of the public senior systems to provide for interinstitutional sharing of computer resources and services. An organizational plan has now been developed jointly by various task forces working in association with the university presidents and chancellors, and it is proposed that a not-for-profit corporation be formed, to be known as the "Illinois Educational Consortium for Computer Services." The initial members would be the public corporations constituting the four systems of public senior higher education in the State of Illinois, viz, the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities, the Board of Regents of Regency Universities, the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, and The Board of Trustees of the University of Illi-
