1973] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 355 FRANKLIN J. REISS, Professor of Farm Management and Land Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Resident Associate, to study land-use planning and resource allocation. On motion of Mr. Hahn, these appointments were approved. LEAVE O F ABSENCE. CHANCELLOR PELTASON (15) The Danforth Foundation has invited the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus to be one of twenty recipients of a special grant for professional advancement, subject to institutional approval of an appropriate leave of absence. The Danforth program is designed "to provide opportunities for college and university administrators to enlarge their perspectives of current and future educational issues and to reinforce the administrator's leadership capabilities in higher education." The grant requires that a leave of absence be taken from current duties for a period of time no less than two or more than four months. Chancellor Peltason has indicated his intention to use the leave of absence to carry out research in the growing body of literature relating to higher education and to consult with educational administrators at other institutions, the intent being to gain additional perspectives on problems confronting the campus administrator, especially in a multicampus system. Although the proposed leave of absence is distinct from the program of administrative leaves approved by the Board of Trustees on June 20, 1973, it is compatible with the action of the Board which anticipated special leave of absence opportunities for chancellors and the institutional benefit derived in taking advantage of them. Accordingly, I recommend that Chancellor Peltason be granted a leave of absence with pay for a period of time no longer than three months beginning^ on November 21, 1973, to undertake on behalf of the University the above described research study. All expenses in support of the research study and the benefits to be derived from it are to be covered by the grant from the Danforth Foundation. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this leave was granted as recommended.
