506 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 9 that approximately a ten percent increase seemed warranted and that a recommendation for this would be made at the May meeting of the board. Following this, Trustee Mitchell and President Ikenberry discussed the needs of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for support of students who have financial need. Dr. Ikenberry's concluding comments centered on a discussion of a newly appointed committee, charged by Governor Edgar to review the governance structure of higher education in Illinois. This committee is to be chaired by Mr. Arthur Quern, chair of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, and Lieutenant Governor Robert Kustra. It is anticipated that this committee will issue a report early in June 1992.

He then described a proposal made by Dean Paul M. Chung, College of Engineering at Chicago. (A copy of the report from the Chicago campus is filed with the secretary of the board for record.)
