532 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 11 EXECUTIVE SESSION President Howard, 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, and to discuss campus security." The motion was made by Mr. Forsyth and approved unanimously. I. At this first executive session, attendance was limited to the trustees, the president of the University, the secretary, and the chancellor of the Chicago campus. (Trustee Calder was absent from the session, arriving at its completion. Trustee Smith had asked to be excused from this session and was not present.) Chancellor Langenberg was asked by President Ikenberry to report on the status of the search for an associate chancellor at the Chicago campus. The position is one assigned to public affairs, community and minority relations at Chicago. The trustees considered a policy question in relation to this search on October 15, 1987, viz.: would it be appropriate for a sitting trustee to be considered for a position with the University, with the understanding that resignation from the board would be required prior to acceptance of the position? The consensus of that discussion was that it would be appropriate provided there was complete fidelity to the regular search process of the University. If a trustee should emerge from the search process and the committee wished to consider and interview such an individual, the president would then review the matter with the Board of Trustees.1 Chancellor Langenberg reported that the committee has reduced its search to five candidates, each of whom it wishes to interview during the next few weeks. Later, in consultation with the chancellor, the list of finalists will be further reduced and further interviews scheduled. The work will be completed in June and possibly a recommendation presented to the Board of Trustees in the usual form at its July meeting. One of the five now being seriously considered is Trustee Ann Smith. No discussions between the committee and Trustee Smith have been undertaken to this point; rather, the committee is seeking concurrence that such discussions, in association with the other finalists, may begin. On motion of Mr. Logan, the trustees unanimously agreed that it would be appropriate to proceed in the customary way and that a recommendation for an appointment may come forward in due course. II. At the second executive session, attendance included all of the trustees, the officers of the board, and all of the general officers. > See minutes of Board cA Trustees Meeting of October 15, 1987, pages 392-393.
