1974] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 589 These affiliation agreements will provide a broader base for the support for the medical education program of the School and will also permit planning for residency training programs in several hospitals in central Illinois. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur in this recommendation. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved. CONTRACT W I T H SPERTUS COLLEGE O F JUDAICA. CHICAGO CIRCLE (18) On July 21, 1971, the Board of Trustees authorized the President to negotiate a contract with the Spertus College of Judaica for a cooperative program in Judaic studies. Under this agreement, a wide range of courses in Judaic studies offered by Spertus College of Judaica became available to students at the Chicago Circle campus. The contract provided for the University to reimburse Spertus College of Judaica at the rate of $8.50 per quarter credit hour per student, subject to a maximum payment of $11,000 per academic year. _ Because of increased costs, the Spertus College of Judaica has asked the University to renegotiate the contract. Accordingly, the President with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers recommends that authorization be granted by the Board for negotiation of a new contract with the Spertus College of Judaica. The new contract would reimburse Spertus College at the rate of $9.50 per quarter credit hour per student, without fixing a maximum payment. (It is estimated that such reimbursement will amount to approximately $15,000 per year.) In return, the Spertus College of Judaica will not only continue to offer its wide range of courses in Judaic studies, but also additional courses in related areas such as Arabic not currently available to students at Chicago Circle. The new contract will also provide an option for renewal of the arrangement from year to year, subject to the right of either party to terminate it at any time upon three months written notice—-with the provision for continuation following any such termination on a limited basis to assure that students enrolled in the Judaic studies program will be able to complete their work. Funds for the support of the program are available in the budget of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences on the Chicago Circle campus. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Steger; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Mr. Neal, Mr. Swain, Governor Walker. AGREEMENT TO ENROLL CHICAGO CIRCLE STUDENTS IN NAVAL ROTC PROGRAM AT ILLINOIS INSTITUTE O F TECHNOLOGY (19) The Chancellor at the Chicago Circle campus has recommended authorization by the Board of Trustees of a contract between the University, the Chief of Naval Education and Training, and Illinois Institute of Technology under which Chicago Circle students would be permitted to enroll in the Naval ROTC program at Illinois Institute of Technology. He has further requested authorization to execute a contract between the University and the Institute, under which the latter institution would pay to the University such sums as it may receive from the Navy on account of Naval scholarships granted Chicago Circle students enrolled in the NROTC program at Illinois Institute of Technology. The Chicago Circle Senate has approved this program, which is analogous to an agreement to enroll Chicago Circle students in the Air Force ROTC program at Illinois Institute of Technology approved by the Board at its meeting of June 20, 1973. A copy of the proposed agreement between the University, the Chief of Naval Education and Training, and Illinois Institute of Technology has been filed with the Secretary for record. I concur and recommend that the Chancellor be authorized to execute the above-described agreements on behalf of the University. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, authority was given as recommended.
