728 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 20 of Conduct applicable to employees under the State Personnel Code. Many other public and private employers have similar codes. The Civil Service Handbook contains a listing of specific items for which discipline may be imposed but does not include some important ones, e.g., unsatisfactory work performance. The rules, in this case actually guides, which the President proposes to issue at this time are being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I concur in the recommendation that these policies be approved as herein presented. Upon their approval, appropriate rules will be issued as indicated, and modified from time to time as circumstances warrant according to the policies established. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved. PURCHASES (25) The President submitted, with his concurrence, a list of purchases recommended by the Director of Purchases and the Vice-President and Comptroller; also a list of purchases authorized by the President.
