All other terms in this Part shall have the meaning set forth
				  in definitions, Section 200 through 247 of the Unemployment Insurance Act [ 820
				  ILCS 405 ], hereinafter referred to as "the Act".
"Act" means the Unemployment Insurance Act, [ 820 ILCS 405
				  ].

				  Act has for its primary function the presentation of formal instruction and
				  normally maintains a regular faculty and curriculum and normally has a
				  regularly enrolled body of pupils or students in attendance at the place where
				  its educational activities are regularly conducted.
"Educational service agency" has the meaning given to it in
				  Section 612 of the Act .
"Instructional service" is performed for an educational
				  institution or educational service agency either on a full-time or part-time

				  advising, or otherwise determining curriculum, courses, and academic pursuits
				  for students.

				  individuals who are officers of the educational institution or educational

				  directors, business managers, deans and associate deans, university public
				  relations directors, comptrollers, development officers, chief librarians,
				  registrars, superintendents or principals or others not given such official
				  titles but actually serving in a similar principal administrative capacity. The
				  duties performed by the individual rather than the title held determine whether
				  or not the individual may be considered to be in a principal administrative
				  capacity.
"Reasonable assurance" is an inference or expectation based
				  upon a sequence of previous conduct, practice, or course of dealing, within an
				  industry or field of service that is fairly to be regarded as establishing a

				  season, or prior to a vacation period or holiday recess may be expected, under
				  normal conditions, to have continued employment in the next year, term, or
				  season, after an "off-term" or "off-season" interruption, or at the conclusion
				  of the vacation period or holiday recess.

				  educational service agency or educational unit consists of careful and
				  systematic study and investigation in a field of science or knowledge,
				  undertaken to establish facts or principles. The work performed is in a
				  predominantly intellectual field or artistic endeavor that is varied in
				  character and requires the constant exercise of discretion and judgment in
				  performance. The work further requires advanced knowledge in a field of science
				  or learning customarily acquired by a prolonged course of specialized
				  intellectual instruction and study. It does not include individuals who provide
				  supportive services for research, such as typists and clerks.
