1058 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [December 17
APPENDIX
(Approved by the Board of Trustees December 17, 1957, page 1051.)
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
GENERAL RULES CONCERNING UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATION
AND PROCEDURE
EXPLANATORY NOTE
To the Members of the Board of Trustees:
In approving the Statutes, the Senate accepted the recommendation
of the Senate Committee on Revision of the Statutes that only
those sections in which the Senates of the University have an interest
should be included in the University of Illinois Statutes, and that
those sections which deal with administrative organization and the
powers and responsibilities of administrative officers of the University
should appear in a separate compilation, The General Rules Concerning
University Organization and Procedure (sometimes called
Part II in discussions of the Statutes).
Amendments to the University of Illinois Statutes are to be
adopted by the procedure set forth in Section 62 thereof. Amendments
to The General Rules Concerning University Organization
and Procedure are to be made by the Board of Trustees on the recommendation
of the President. The Senates will not participate in
the amending process. The compilation of The General Rules Concerning
University Organization and Procedure was submitted to the
Senate because it contains some sections which the University Senate
had approved over the years. By approving this compilation, the
Senate understood that it was divesting itself of its role in amending
the sections. It was understood, however, that subject matter
dealt with in The General Rules Concerning University Organisation
and Procedure may be covered in amendments to the University of
Illinois Statutes which the Senate may later propose.
The University Senate met in a special session, July 29, 1957,
called by President Henry, for the purpose of considering this compilation
of The General Rules Concerning University Organization
and Procedure. The texts of the sections were approved by the
Senate and they are submitted to the Board of Trustees for consideration
and adoption.
