1971] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 193 quo" which inhibits the development of its campuses — especially its newest one at Chicago Circle. In refutation of this belief, the Board wishes to emphasize a point made repeatedly in various University communications to Committee N, namely, that the University of Illinois several years ago made fundamental changes in its governance structure that were designed to give to the campuses greater autonomy and strength in the conduct of their separate affairs. At the same time, these changes are being implemented so as not to impair the effectiveness of the general administration in supporting campus operations, encouraging intercampus cooperation, and cultivating opportunities for University-wide service to local, state, national, and international constituencies. The Board of Trustees is firmly committed to the continuing evolution of this system of multicampus governance within the framework of a single University. The Board welcomes, therefore, the recent resolutions of the Senates at the Chicago Circle and the Medical Center campuses, which urge "that within the present system of governance, the operational autonomy of the three campuses, and the operational authority and responsibility of their respective chancellors be increased to the fullest practicable extent as rapidly as orderly procedure permits." The Board reaffirms its intention to proceed further in this direction — especially towards more formal and explicit definition of the authority and responsibilities of the chancellor at each campus, the relationships of the chancellor and campus administration to the President and general administration, and the relationships of both administrative levels to the Board of Trustees. The Committee on General Policy will work with the President and his staff in developing a codification of these roles and relationships, which will have appropriate review at the three campuses before presentation to the Board of Trustees.
