Dr. Abele asked that I inform you that the Board of Governors voted 10-3 to deny the approval of a chiropractic program at Florida State University. As far as we are concerned this will end our discussion of this issue and the designated committees need not continue work on this project. There will be a full report at the next Faculty Senate meeting. Dr. Abele and President Wetherell asked that I thank all who have contributed to this effort. Pat
