BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May

15

The curricular and course revisions, permitted by the merger of the previous Departments of Physical Education for Men and for Women, respond to changes in discipline emphases, employment patterns, and in the vocational interests and competencies of enrolling students, and reflect changes in curriculum design, including national professional guidelines for the establishment of areas of specialization within the major. It is expected that the proposed single degree program will facilitate the effective and efficient use of faculty competencies, advisement procedures, instructional and research facilities, and community-related agencies. Conversion of Doctor of Business Administration, Doctor of Philosophy in Business, and Doctor of Philosophy in Marketing to Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration, Urbana The Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Commerce and Business Administration that the three existing doctoral degree programs — the Doctor of Business Administration, the Doctor of Philosophy in Business, and the Doctor of Philosophy in Marketing — be converted into one program, the Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration. The proposed program merger proceeds from the combination, in 1968, of several departments (Marketing, Industrial Administration, and the Graduate School of Business Administration) to form the present Department of Business Administration. Under the proposal, all students in the Department will complete a common core of requirements. It is expected that the common core in the proposed program will result in a more efficient instructional pattern, in more meaningful evaluation and, therefore, advisement of students, and in the optimization of departmental resources allocated to doctoral programs in terms of maintaining and enhancing program quality. This report was received for record.

TEMPORARY WAIVER O F T H E TRANSCRIPT FEE AT THE CHICAGO CIRCLE CAMPUS

(16) The Board of Trustees' policy on transcript fees was first established in March 1920, amended in September 1940, and again in April 1957. The present policy reads: "Each student who has paid all his fees is entitled to receive without charge a transcript of his record. For each additional transcript, the fee shall be $1.00." In Fiscal Year 1973, the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle collected $15,042 from this source.
