1.  TRANSMITTED:  Section 025, Outside Professional Activities
    of Faculty Members, dated 8/16/95.

    REPLACE:  Section 025, dated 4/13/79, including Guidelines 
    for Reporting Professional Activities, 8/6/79.

    The opportunity for faculty to engage in consulting and 
    professional activities is a privilege long recognized as 
    beneficial to both the individual and the University.  The 
    purpose of the revised policy is to ensure that a faculty 
    member's primary commitment is to the University.  The 
    policy and guidelines provide that after obligations to the 
    University have been met, a full-time faculty member on a 
    nine-month appointment may undertake compensated outside 
    professional activities for no more than 39 days during the 
    academic year.

2.  TRANSMITTED:  Section 334, Cooperative Extension Specialist
    Series, dated 9/25/95.

    REPLACE:  Section 325, Cooperative Extension (e.g.,
    Agronomist) Series, dated 3/18/76.

    RETAIN:  Section 335, Cooperative Extension Specialist
    (Advisor) Series, but the section will apply only to the
    Cooperative Extension Advisor appointees and to the few
    existing Cooperative Extension Specialists who have not been
    assigned to campus departments.

    As part of the reorganization of personnel and resources
    within the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources,
    most individuals in the Cooperative Extension Specialist
    series (APM-335) and Cooperative Extension (e.g.,
    Agronomist) series (APM-325) were assigned to departments in
    the colleges of agriculture at Berkeley, Davis, and
    Riverside.  The new policy will apply to these department-
    based Cooperative Extension Specialists and Cooperative
    Extension Agronomists who now will be combined in one title
    series.
