1972] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 89 itig appropriate consultation on campus, shall be empowered to institute action under this law. In responding to a request from a Chancellor to institute such action, I will confer with University Counsel before concurring. This information is provided as a report and does not require Board action. LIBRARY O F T H E HEALTH SCIENCES, MEDICAL CENTER President Corbally asked Mr. Kretschmer to give a status report on the bids received for the project "Library of the Health Sciences, Medical Center Campus." (See June 21, 1972, minutes for Board action.) (1) The attached document1 presents the recommendations of the President for increases in the University's appropriations for Fiscal Year (FY) 1974. These proposals have been prepared, upon recommendation of the chancellors with appropriate campus review, by the Office of the Vice President for Planning and Allocation with the advice of the University Planning Committee* and have been reviewed by the University Budget Committee.3 The submission dates required by the Illinois Board of Higher Education (preliminary request, July 31; detailed request, October 6) have necessitated preliminary requests prior to Budget Committee review and Board action in October. All such transmittals have been marked "Preliminary." The FY 1974 request is particularly im;>ortant. The failure during the past two fiscal years to receive sufficient increases in appropriations and other income to fund salary increases, price increases, enrollment increases, and required new programs has resulted in substantial problems in funding salary budgets, in significantly reduced equipment budgets, in the deferral of maintenance, in the absorption of price increases, and now during FY 1973 in the use of virtually all balances in unrestricted accounts. In fact, the University is using all available balances in addition to funding over $3 million through the employment "freeze." The request for FY 1974 has been carefully calculated; it represents the fundamental needs of the University and support equal to our request is essential to prevent further serious program erosion, I recommend approval of the budget request for 1974 as presented to the Illinois Board of Higher Education and request authority to submit the request to the appropriate offices of State government. President Corbally presented this item and at his request Vice President Brady discussed the budget document and responded to questions. Following general discussion, on motion of Mr. Harm, the request was approved as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Neal, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain; no, Mr. Forsyth; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie. 1 (This document is filed with the Secretary of the Board.
