1977] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 305 Center for the Study of Reading, Urbana (17) The Urbana-Champaign Senate has recommended the establishment of a Center for the Study of Reading in the College of Education. The center will provide a focus for and promote basic research, on an interdisciplinary basis, in reading and cognition. Its major objective will be to serve as a national resource to (1) acquire information about the teaching and learning of reading, (2) make such information accessible to researchers and practitioners in a form in which they can use it, (3) draw together research relevant to reading, now scattered across different scientific fields, and (4) assume leadership in developing national plans and policy for short- and long-range initiatives in reading research. The center's research will be conducted by faculty from the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as by visiting scholars. Funding will come over a three-year period from a $3,396,000 contract with the National Institute of Education. After this period the center will have an opportunity to bid for an additional two-year contract in excess of $1,000,000 per year. Further, six other contracts totaling $354,035 will help support the center. State funds will not be used to fund the center nor will they be used should outside funding become unavailable. The chancellor and the vice president for academic affairs recommend approval. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. O n m o t i o n of M r . Livingston, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved.
