Merger of the Colleges of Architecture and Art and Urban Sciences, Chicago Circle

(7) The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the merger of the College of Architecture and Art and the College of Urban Sciences to form a single unit to be named the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Sciences, to be effective September 1, 1977. It further recommends that the names of three of the constituent units be changed as follows: the Department of Architecture to the School of Architecture, the Department of Art to the School of Art and Design, and the College of Urban Sciences to the School of Urban Sciences. The names of the two other constituent units, the Department of History of Architecture and Art and the Center for Urban Studies, will remain the same. The merger is based upon the belief that the units involved share a concern for the understanding and application of knowledge to the study of contemporary urban society and the utilization of interdisciplinary study and research concerning the factors of human experience applied to specific problems. The redesignation of constituent units is in accord with common practice in these professions. No programmatic changes are involved in the present proposal. Any future changes will require campus and University approval through established procedures. No additional funds for administrative purposes will be required by the redesignated units. Rather, it is hoped that there will be some savings. There are no budgetary implications for units other than those involved in the merger. The faculties of the Colleges of Architecture and Art and Urban Sciences, the Chancellor at Chicago Circle, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has recommended approval and has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.
