ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVES (8) As the management of academic institutions has become increasingly complex, there has been heightened concern expressed as to the ability of academic administrators to keep abreast of developments in their profession and to find time to design new approaches to their tasks. T o provide for such an opportunity on a limited basis, I recommend a plan for administrative leaves as outlined below : 1. After at least five years of service in the position indicated, the following may apply for leaves of two- to four-months duration at full salary: Deans, Vice Chancellors, Vice Presidents (and those holding the position of Assistant or Associate Dean, Vice Chancellor, or Vice President), and other General Officers, except for Chancellors and the President. 2. Such leaves would be recommended by a Chancellor to the President, or by the President, based upon a review of a specific proposal submitted by an eligible administrator. T h e proposal would detail the activities to be undertaken during the leave and the manner in which those activities would enhance the service of the administrator in meeting his University or campus responsibilities. 3. T h e recommendations would be reviewed by a Committee consisting of the President, the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination, and the Chancellors. Recommendations from the Committee for the award of such leaves would be made to the Board of Trustees. 4. T h e duties of those on such leaves would ordinarily be absorbed by others at no added cost to the University. In cases where this is not possible, extra costs may be borne by use of discretionary funds available to the Chancellors or to the President from non-appropriated sources. T h e plan proposed would be reviewed at the end of a two-year period to appraise its success and to consider the question of whether there may be justification for altering the list of those now proposed to be eligible for such leave. Provision has not been made for such leaves for Chancellors or the President inasmuch as they cannot in fact be said to "take leave" from their responsibilities. However, short-term opportunities may be afforded to derive similar advantages in working with professional groups on professional problems. I recommend approval of the foregoing proposal. M r . N e a l p r o p o s e d t h a t , a s a m a t t e r of p r o c e d u r e , r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s for administrative leaves be b r o u g h t individually to t h e B o a r d for action.

FEE EXEMPTION FOR EMPLOYEES REGISTERED AS STUDENTS, URBANA (9) T h e Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended that employees who register as students and are already covered under the mandatory state insurance plan be exempted from the Health Service portion of the Hospital-Medical-Surgical Fee and not be eligible to pay the fee. This proposal will prevent pyramiding of health and insurance benefits. It is applicable to and consistent with the policies at the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses. T h e Board has previously approved such exemptions for other students in the following categories:
