EXECUTIVE SESSION T r u s t e e Gravenhorst, referring to Section T w o of the O p e n Meetings Act, stated: " A motion is now in o r d e r to hold an executive session to consider information regarding the appointment, employment, or dismissal of employees or officers, to discuss pending, probable, or imminent litigation, the acquisition of real property, to discuss campus security, and to receive legal advice from counsel/' T h e motion was made by Ms. Reese and approved unanimously. Negotiations with Illinois Nurses Association Dr. Bazzani briefed the board on the status of negotiations for a new contract with the Illinois Nurses Association to cover the nurses who work in the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago. H e indicated that the negotiating sessions had been very difficult and that the union was considering a strike action. Dr. Bazzani reported that the University had offered a compensation package to the union that would make compensation for nurses at the University Hospital very competitive with o t h e r comparable institutions. AFSCME Election at Urbana-Champaign Dr. Bazzani r e p o r t e d that the University's position regarding the recent election for representation by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) for certain classifications of clerical employees at U r b a n a was one of strict neutrality. This assurance was given to those who were concerned that the University might act to dissuade employees from voting for representation and to employees themselves. Now, the University administration is being criticized, by some employees who were opposed to being represented by AFSCME, as doing too little to inform them of what the outcome of such an election would mean. O t h e r complaints include charges of harassment on the j o b by union representatives, calls to employees at their homes by union representatives, and concerns about the election itself. All of
