CHANGE IN NAME OF THE RESEARCH RESOURCES LABORATORY, MEDICAL CENTER

(17) The Dean of the Graduate College at the Medical Center campus has recommended that the name of the Research Resources Laboratory be changed to Research Resources Center. The Research Resources Laboratory is concerned with providing a broad range of support services to the health-related research effort at the Medical Center campus, and is a significant administrative entity with campuswide responsibilities. The term "center" is believed to give the appropriate identity to this multipurpose unit Through the organizational structure of the Research Resources Center, the centralization of supporting services for reasons of efficiency and economy will be expanded. Areas of service in support of research activities to be administered by the Director of the Research Resources Center are the biologic resources laboratory, the research and instructional computer facility, the electron microscope laboratory, the bioinstrumentation laboratory, the nuclear magnetic resources laboratory, the instrument shop division, and the central research equipment division. This change of name does not require the approval of the Board of Higher Education, but will be reported to the staff of the Board of Higher Education immediately following approval by the Board of Trustees. The Executive Committee of the Graduate College has been consulted and joins in the recommendation. The Chancellor and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur. I recommend approval.
