O n motion of M r . Neal, this recommendation was approved.

SENATE CONSTITUTION A N D BY-LAWS, CHICAGO CIRCLE

(15) The Chancellor at Chicago Circle reports that the Senate has adopted a Constitution and revised By-laws. The documents, copies of which have been filed with the Secretary of the Board, are presented herewith for appropriate action (under revised Sec. 6 of the University Statutes the Constitution must be approved by the Board of Trustees; the By-laws and any changes thereto must be reported to the Board). Among the major features of the new Constitution and By-laws are: an elected Senate of one hundred fifty faculty and fifty students with representation, ex officio, of certain academic administrative offices and the creation of a Senate Council with continuing responsibilities for discharging the rights and obligations of the Senate. The Chancellor at Chicago Circle and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur in the proposed documents. I recommend approval of the Constitution of the Senate of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle and report for the record the By-laws which shall govern the procedures and practices of the Senate, in accordance with Article II, Section 1.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation and the proposed Senate Constitution for Chicago Circle were approved and the report of the By-laws was received for record.

CHANGES IN POLICY A N D RULES NONACADEMIC
