532 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [April 10 process meant that late adjustments and reductions, while the University appropriation bill was being considered by the Legislature, were exceedingly difficult to make or to implement without similar consultation. Mr. Weir pointed out as well that some 40 percent of the University's request for program funds already had been rejected by the Board of Higher Education and was not included in the governor's budget message. President Ikenberry, responding to a suggestion from Trustee Gravenhorst that the trustees be given an opportunity to examine die tuition question much earlier in the process, stated that die earliest effective time would be after the Board of Higher Education had made its budget recommendations, usually in January. Such an opportunity will be arranged for next year. T h e president also pointed out that die recommendations this year are among die lowest presented to the trustees in the last decade; that the appropriation for scholarship assistance through the Illinois State Scholarship Commission is exceedingly generous in the current year; and that the Federal cuts anticipated should not affect the neediest of students. Trustee Smith inquired about die availability of information for future discussion, such as die income level of students and their families and die extent to which students drop out of college because of tuition increases. Efforts will be made to provide such data as are available. T h e motion as presented by Mr. L a m m was defeated by die following roll call vote: Aye, Mr. Logan; no, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Madden, Miss Smith; absent, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Becker, Mr. L a m m ; no, none.) T h e trustees then, on motion of Mr. Madden, considered die recommendation as originally presented, and it was approved by die following roll call vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsytii, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Madden, Miss Smidi; no, none; present, Mr. Logan; absent, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Becker, no, Mr. Lamm.) By consensus, die board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered die vote on each agenda item nos. 12 through 17 inclusive. T h e recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. ( T h e record of board action appears at die end of each item.)
