Definition of the Academic Term for Purposes of Staff Exemption from Tuition and Fees

(20) On February 21, 1962, the Board of Trustees approved regulations governing the assessment and exemption from fees of staff members. The current policy, which appears in both undergraduate and graduate catalogs, reads as follows: "For fee assessment purposes, a staff appointment must require service for not less than three-fourths of the term. (This is interpreted as a minimum of three and onehalf months in a semester, nine weeks in a quarter, and six weeks in an eight-week summer session.)" Some confusion has been created by this wording as a result of recent calendar changes. In addition, specification of the period of time covered by a "term" is needed to clarify the application of the "three-fourths" rule. On advice of appropriate admissions and business offices on the campuses, the Vice President for Planning and Allocation has recommended the following changes in the wording of the current policy (deletions are in brackets, and additions are in italics): For fee assessment purposes, a staff appointment must require service for not less than three-fourths of the academic termf.], defined as the period between the first day of registration and the last day of final examinations. Specific dates marking the end of three-fourths of the term shall be established by the chancellor or his designee on each campus. [(This is interpreted as a minimum of three and one-half months in a semester, nine weeks in a quarter, and six weeks in an eight-week summer session.)] I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .

Contracts for Educational Services, College of Medicine

(21) In several prior actions the Board of Trustees has approved contracts for educational services to assist in the expansion of the medical education programs of the College of Medicine. The Chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the University continue to contract for educational services on behalf of the College of Medicine in fiscal year 1974-75. It is proposed that contractual arrangements be developed between the University and educational institutions, hospitals, physician group practice organizations, health agencies, and health-related organizations as listed below to support the further development, implementation and conduct of medical education programs: I.
