1975] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 183 Rules — Nonacademic upon adoption of the University pay plan. At that time, I will approve revisions to rules, and the University Director of Personnel Services will approve regulations regarding implementation of the plan, and these, too, will be issued in the Policy and Rules — Nonacademic. (Draft copies of these rules and regulations were provided for the information of the Trustees.) (In the presentation of this item, the President asked Director Donald S. Rubenstein, University Director of Personnel Services, and associates to present visual materials to provide a fuller understanding of the "step plan" and its implementation.) On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation and the proposed revision of "policy paragraph one," Chapter III, of the Policy and Rules •—- Nonacademic were approved. Modifications in the General Rules, Section 26: Terms of Employment of Academic and Administrative Staff (10) At the January meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a summer session of eight weeks at the Chicago Circle campus in lieu of the existing ten-week summer quarter, effective with the 1975 summer session. T h e Board also granted to the President of the University authority to make appropriate changes in the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure. Accordingly, I report the following changes in Section 26 (f) of the General Rules (language to be deleted is in brackets): (f) Members of the staff [at Urbana-Champaign] required to render services during the academic year may be employed in the Summer Session, or to perform research or other services during a period not exceeding two months, and receive, for each month of such service, additional compensation at the rate of one-ninth of the full time rate paid for services required during the preceding academic year. Such employment may be for longer periods during the summer only upon the advance approval of the Chancellor. At [Chicago Circle and at] the Medical Center, compensation for a full summer quarter of full-time teaching [research or other service,] by members of the staff required to render services during the academic year shall be at the rate of one-third of the salary paid for service during the preceding academic year. Staff members required to render services for twelve months, with allowable vacation, shall not receive additional compensation for services rendered during the summer. For staff members rendering services partly on a twelve months' basis and partly on an academic year basis, this regulation applies only to the twelve months' portion. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this revision was approved. Field of Concentration in Comparative Literature, Urbana (11) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the establishment of an undergraduate field of concentration in Comparative Literature in the Sciences and Letters Curriculum, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. T h e field of concentration is to be administered by the Comparative Literature Program in the School of Humanities. Throughout universities, colleges, and high schools there is an increasing shift away from specialization in the literature of a particular country toward an interdisciplinary education in humane letters. Graduates of such programs qualify for diverse jobs in which a general cultural background is needed, such as in
