(9) The chancellors at the respective campuses and other general officers have submitted recommendations for promotions in academic rank •— effective at the beginning of the 1975-76 appointment year. (A copy of the list is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.) The numbers recommended for promotion to the various ranks are as follows: Chicago Medical UrbanaGeneral To the Rank of Circle Center Champaign University Total Professor 9 18 46 ... 73 Clinical Professor 1 ... ... 1 Associate Professor 26 28 77 4 135 Clinical Associate Professor 3 ... ... 3 Assistant Professor 2 28 33 2 65 Clinical Assistant Professor 12 ... ... 12 Research Assistant Professor 1 ... ... 1 Instructor 1 ... ... 1 Total ~37 92" 156 IT 291 Each campus has established formal procedures for the initiation, review, and approval of recommendations for academic promotion. Consideration is given to the criteria that seem to be most appropriate to the evaluation of the varied combinations of contributions of individual faculty members -— including teaching, research or other scholarly activities, artistic creation, professional and public service, student and administrative services. The Chicago Circle and the UrbanaChampaign campuses have campuswide committees that review departmental and college recommendations, while at the Medical Center campus each college has a special committee that reviews the recommendations of its departments. The General University promotions were reviewed by a committee of the unit involved. The Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination recommends approval. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, these recommendations were approved.
