BOARD OF T R U S T E E S

LJuly 16

Review of Tenure Policies Mr. Lenz inquired as to the status of this study requested by the Board at the M a r c h 1975 meeting. President Corbally reported that work had been under way for some time, but he contemplated making arrangements for a meeting with the Trustees and representatives of the University Senates Conference, perhaps as part of the agenda of the September meeting. Annual Meeting, University of Illinois Foundation President Neal reported that invitations would be sent to each of the Trustees to attend and participate in this meeting, now scheduled for October 3 and 4, 1975, in Urbana. By consensus, the Trustees directed the Secretary to reply for the Board, endorsing and supporting the meeting and conference scheduled by the Foundation, indicating that those Trustees who are able to attend will plan to do so. REGULAR AGENDA T h e Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates
