Transcript | Colonel W. B. Bates Chairman Regents Establish Academic Programs; Approve Selected by the governor for a period of six years, Board members meet monthly. Mrs. Gus S. Wortham Fiscal Proposals The focal point for the Board of Regents last year was the $42,000,000 university building program. At their monthly meetings the Board approved an $18,680,000 operating budget, a $6,000,000 revenue bond for two dormitory towers and the president's recommendation to increase the building use fee from $22 a semester for full time students to $25. A new school of social work, the Institute of Urban Affairs, was established, along with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in engineering. The designation of law degrees was changed from Bachelor of Laws to Juris Doctor. In addition, a Faculty Development Leave program was instituted whereby teachers may take every seventh year off with pay for academic purposes. The Board also approved a 21-day seminar for President Hoffman. Sponsored by the Comparative Education Society, this study trip includes meeting with educators at Universities of Cambridge, Prague, Moscow, Copen- hagan and Humbolt in East Berlin. J. A.
