Handbook Section 6.69 :
On the basis of its experience during the past triennium, th
Board for Higher Education is aware of circumstances which in
dicate that Section 6.69 of the Handbook should be adjusted. j
The Board is convinced that grants in. aid for faculty studyg
should be kept at a minimum, and it is convinced further. that
after a period of time such aid should be restricted to instructors
and assistant professors; however, the present situation off
many problems in connection with getting and keeping region
accreditation, in connection with the change-over from purely pre
paratory institutions to teacher training institutions, and in con
nection with the introduction of a senior college, that we believ

of the paragraph mentioned.
The Board for Higher Education recommends therefore

That in Section 6.69 the word “instructors” in line 2 be
deleted and the words “faculty personnel” be substituted fo
the deletion. a.

We recommend further

That the word “instructors” in line 6 be deleted and the
words “faculty personnel” be substituted for the deletion.

We recommend finally

That, in line 6, after the word “work” the following wor
be inserted: “Requirements of achieving accreditation, res:
quirements of maintaining accreditation, additions which Synod.
required the school to make to its program.” ;

so that the revised Section 6.69 will read:
“6.69 Grants in Aid ;

“The Boards of Control of Synod’s colleges and seminari
shall recommend subsidies for. university study by faculty per
sonnel when such additional study is made mandatory .b
changes in local circumstances (e. g., addition of courses, re
quests to assist in library, guidance work, . requirements of °
achieving accreditation, requirements of maintaining accredita--
tion, additions which Synod required the school to make to its
program, etc.) beyond the control of the faculty personnel in-
volved. Such recommendations are to become effective upon
review and approval by the Board for Higher Education.”
