370 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 16 RECESS AND EXECUTIVE SESSION F o l l o w i n g a s h o r t recess, t h e B o a r d r e c o n v e n e d i n e x e c u t i v e session a n d c o n s i d e r e d t h e f o l l o w i n g i t e m s of b u s i n e s s : Acquisition of 511 South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana (38) T h e President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends the acquisition of the property at 511 South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, at a price of $30,000, contingent upon funds being made available through the Capital Development Board. Title will be vested in the Board of Trustees. The property is improved with a one-story commercial building. The total size of the property is 20 feet by 60 feet (1,200 square feet). The improvements will eventually be demolished and temporary parking facilities constructed to replace a portion of those lost by the construction of the Basic Medical Sciences Building. Funds were reappropriated to the Capital Development Board from the Capital Development Bond Fund for the University in FY 1975 and have been released by the Governor. I t is contemplated that these funds will be reappropriated to the Capital Development Board from the Capital Development Bond Fund for the University in FY 1976. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Mr. Forsyth, Governor Walker. Litigation Initiated by James Faron (39) The University is named as the sole defendant in a Complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Champaign County, Illinois (Case No. 75 C 628), by James Faron, a student at the Urbana-Champaign campus. T h e Complaint alleges that under the Board's "Regulations Governing the Determination of Residency Status for Admission and Assessment of Student Tuition" the plaintiff was entitled to be classified as a resident for tuition purposes for the 1974 summer session and for the first semester of academic year 1974-75. It is alleged that the University improperly classified the plaintiff in a nonresident status for these terms, but there are no allegations that the plaintiff followed the appeal procedures specified in the Regulations. It is further alleged that the University classified the plaintiff as a resident for tuition purposes for the spring semester of academic year 1974-75. The relief sought is an order directing the University to provide the plaintiff with copies of information forms submitted to the University for purposes of registering for the summer session of 1974 and the two semesters of the academic year 1974-75, and for judgment in the amount of $660, plus interest at 5 percent, and plus court costs. T h e University Counsel has recommended that he be authorized to take such steps as are necessary or appropriate, including the employment of special counsel, to protect the interests of the University in this matter. I concur. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Mr. Forsyth, Governor Walker.
