ground papers: (1) " T h e History of Doctoral Planning in the University of Illinois College of Nursing," (2) "An Analysis of Need for Doctoral Programs in Nursing," (3) "Doctoral Education in Nursing," and (4) " T h e Status of Research in Nursing." (A copy of the complete document is filed with the Secretary of the Board.) It is anticipated that initial program development will begin in FY 1974-75. T e n students will be admitted in 1975-76, and enrollment will increase by ten students each year to a total of fifty students by 1979-80. T h e estimated total costs of the program are expected to be $180,000 in FY 1974-75, rising to approximately $500,000 in FY 1979-80, the sixth year in the development of the program. It is anticipated that further increases in enrollment after 1979-80 will be dependent upon the need for doctoral graduates and the resources available at that time. An application for federal funds has been submitted, requesting partial support for the costs associated with planning and program implementation for FY 1975 through FY 1977. Federal funding for the first year of operation has already been approved. T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center, the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination and the Vice President for Planning and Allocation concur in this recommendation. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Formal Decentralization of the Jane Addams School of Social Work

(16) In March, 1970, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation of the Executive Committee and the entire faculty of the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work 1 that "two separate Schools be established, with the Urbana-Champaign and Chicago Circle programs being conducted under the legislative jurisdiction of the respective Senates of these two campuses." While under the plan there was to be a single Director and a common Executive Committee, "proposals relating only to the Chicago Circle school would be sent to the Chancellor and thence to the Senate at that campus for review and approval; recommendations involving only the Urbana-Champaign program would be sent to the Chancellor and Senate at that campus . . . Neither the Chancellor nor the Senate at a given campus would be bound by actions taken by the Chancellor or the Senate at the other campus." The administration of the Jane Addams School of Social Work is presently the responsibility of the Urbana-Champaign campus, with faculty and students on both the Urbana-Champaign and Chicago Circle campuses. Over the years, both divisions of the School have grown in enrollment and developed significantly in a programmatic sense. This growth and development of maturity means that the Chicago division no longer depends on or receives direction from the Urbana division. Much of the joint effort of previous years no longer exists and the two divisions have developed along different paths. This has been viewed as appropriate in view of the different but complementary campus missions and the difference in population served. In the past several years, the two divisions have achieved integration within the academic affairs of the individual campuses. In practice, budgetary decisions involving each campus division have been made separately by each Chancellor. In addition, recommendations as to promotion and retention of faculty within the

J By Board of Trustees action on June 20, 1973, the word "Graduate" was deleted from the name of the School concurrent with the introduction of the new Bachelor of Social Work programs into the Chicago Circle and Urbana-Champaign divisions of the School,
