BOARD O F T R U S T E E S

[September 13

ginning on August 2 1 , 1990, at Urbana-Champaign and on September 1, 1990, at Chicago) have been completed within the funds available to the University. (For the purpose of determining payments for a fractional year of academic service, the academic year at the Chicago campus is defined as September 16 through June 15, and at the Urbana-Champaign campus as August 21 through May 20.) Accordingly, I recommend approval of the budget document entitled, "Academic Personnel, 1990-1991" and request authorization, in accord with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income as it accrues: (a) to accept resignations; (b) to make such additional appointments as are necessary and to approve the issuance of notices of nonreappointment, subject to the provisions of the University of Illinois Statutes, General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, and Policy and Rules — Nonacademic, and (c) to make such adjustments in items included in the budget as are needed, such adjustments to be covered in periodic reports to the Board of Trustees.

O n motion of Mr. Boyle, this recommendation was approved and authority was given as requested by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. H a h n , Ms. Reese, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Mr. Grabowski, Governor Thompson. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Forbes; absent, Ms. Kelly.) Requests for Operating and Capital Appropriations, Fiscal Year 1992

(3) Recommended requests for incremental operating funds and for new capital appropriations for the University of Illinois for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1991, are presented herewith for action by the Board of Trustees. Following board action, these requests will be submitted to the Illinois Board of Higher Education for review. T h e accompanying tables summarize the major elements of each request, and the document, "Budget Request for Operating and Capital Funds, Fiscal Year 1992," contains detailed supporting information about each item and individual project in the requests. (Copies of the complete budget documents are filed with the secretary of the board for record.) T h e FY 1992 operating budget request, outlined in Tables 1 and 2, is based upon the background information presented to the trustees in July. In total, the request seeks $67.6 million in new operating funds for FY 1992, an increase of 9.9 percent above the current year's operating budget. An increase of this magnitude reflects a range of budget needs which must be addressed for FY 1992, yet is sensitive to the overall fiscal condition of the State. T h e operating request includes a special addendum describing the special funding needs of the Cooperative Extension Service and suggests a mechanism for improving the support for this unique statewide resource. T h e budget request also includes a brief section outlining major principles which should guide the review and determination of tuition levels which will help support the University's operating budget in FY 1992. Table 3 outlines individual projects in the FY 1992 capital budget request in priority order. A total of 29 projects is requested for FY 1992 at a total cost of $89.2 million. T h e priority list of key projects spans a range of needs in virtually every capital category: new construction, remodeling, equipment, land acquisition, and planning. T h e University's operating and capital requests for FY 1992 have been prepared by the vice president for academic affairs based upon advice and recommendations from the University Planning Council and review by the University Policy Council. I recommend approval.

O n motion of Mr. Boyle, these requests were approved as recom-
