The Biennial Report series is a primary source of comprehensive information on enrollments and curriculum changes, research and in­ struction efforts, faculty activities and honors, and other developments within the academic and administrative units of the University, pre­ sented in a consistent format over a period of time. It is provided for by state law to supply information to the members of the State Leg­ islature and others. This substantial report on the activities, responsibilities, and sta­ tistics of the University of Minnesota is a major segment of our ac­ counting responsibilities to the government and people of Minnesota. Sincerely, President Minneapolis, Minnesota July 1, 1970 i BIENNIAL REPORT 1968-1970 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, AND ACTIONS Administrative Reorganization-Two new vice presidential positions were cre­ ated in July 1969. The vice president for investments, who was also named executive director of the University of Minnesota Foundation, and the vice presi­ dent for planning and operations each assumed some of the responsibilities of the former vice president for business administration, who became vice president and consultant to the President. In May 1970, the vice president for investments announced his resignation. The vice president for planning and operations assumed responsibility for invest­ ments, and his title was changed to vice president for finance, planning, and op­ erations. In June the Regents named a new executive director of the Foundation who was also named director of development. The title of the vice president for educational relationships and development was changed to vice president for coordinate campuses and educational relation­ ships in September 1969. The change reflected the shift of development respon­ sibilities to other units and the strengthening of the liaison between the central administration and the four coordinate campuses. At the University of Minnesota, Morris, the title of the chief administrative officer was changed from dean to provost in July 1968. With the retirement of the dean of students in 1969, the units formerly report­ ing to that Office became directly responsible to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. Academic Reorganization-In June 1970, the Board of Regents approved the restructuring of the College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Home Economics into three separate colleges. Deans of the new colleges will report to the dean of the Institute of Agriculture. A School of Statistics was established in the College of Liberal Arts, incorporating the former Department of Statistics, which was re­ named the Department of Theoretical Statistics; a new Department of Applied Statistics; and the Statistical Center. A School of Public Affairs, an expansion of the former Public Administration Center, was also created. New departments established during the biennium included the Departments of Afro-American and American Indian Studies in the College of Liberal Arts; the Department of Clinical Pharmacy in the College of Pharmacy; the Department of Computer, Information, and Control Sciences in the Institute of Technology; the Department of Criminal Justice Studies, which reports directly to the vice presi­ dent for academic administration; the Department of Family Practice and Com­ munity Health in the Medical School; and the Departments of Special Education and Speech Pathology and Audiology at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Other new units included the Research and Development Center for the Handi­ capped and the State Research Coordinating Unit in the College of Education and the Fire Service Information, Research, and Service Center in the Municipal Reference Bureau. Major restructuring took place in several areas. The Office of International Programs became part of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Admin­ istration; the Bureau of Student Loans and Scholarships was merged with the Col­ lege Work-Study Program to become the Office of Student Financial Aid; the Psycho-Educational and Child Study Clinics in the College of Education were 1 2 BIENNIAL REPORT combined to become the Psycho-Educational Center; the Division of Radiation Therapy in the Medical School was redesignated the Department of Therapeutic Radiology and the Departments of Dermatology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedic Surgery were formed from divisions in other departments; and pro­ grams of the Department of Chemical Engineering, the Department of Civil Engi­ neering and Hydraulics, and the School of Mineral and Metallurgical Engineering in the Institute of Technology were combined and reorganized as the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering. The Speech and Hearing Clinic, formerly reporting to the vice president for student affairs, became part of the Department of Speech Sci­ ence, Pathology, and Audiology in the College of Liberal Arts. The name of the University of Minnesota Technical Institute, Crookston, was changed to University of Minnesota Technical College, Crookston, during the bi­ ennium. In other name changes, the Department of Aeronautics and Engineering Mechanics became the Department of Aerospace
