UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

BOARD MEETING RECESSED1

At 9:30 a.m., the board recessed for a meeting of the Committee on Finance and Audit and to receive a report on the University's investments for the last quarter. (Materials from these reports are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) The board reconvened in regular session at 10 a.m.

EXECUTIVE SESSION

President Grabowski, referring to Section Two of the Open Meetings Act, stated: "A motion is now in order 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/' The motion was made by Ms. Reese and approved unanimously.

None of these have yet been resolved. (Attached materials are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) T h e university counsel and the secretary of the board, having consulted with appropriate University officers, recommend that the indicated items retain confidential status at this time and that the president of the University be authorized to release those items when appropriate. It is further recommended that all other matters considered in executive session for the period be made available to the public. I concur.

By consensus, the trustees approved of these recommendations as submitted, formal action to be taken subsequently when the board convenes in open meeting.
