480 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 12 Administrative Searches — Chicago Campus Chancellor Stukel reported to the board members that the search for a vice chancellor for student affairs had proceeded to the point that three finalists had been identified and were to be interviewed in the very near future. In the search for a dean of the College of Business Administration, Dr. Stukel indicated that the committee had settled on five candidates, all of whom were to be interviewed in the ensuing weeks. With regard to the search for a vice chancellor for academic affairs, the chancellor noted that the deadline for applications was March 15, 1992. Land Acquisition, South of Roosevelt Road, Chicago Campus Chancellor Stukel briefed the board members on the campus* plan for acquisition of land located to the south of Roosevelt Road, adjacent to the eastern edge of the campus. With the aid of a map he identified the parcels currently owned by the University and parcels owned by the city of Chicago that the University would like to acquire. Dr. Stukel indicated that talks with Mayor Daley and his staff about the University's desire to acquire more land in this area had been encouraging. Further, the chancellor noted that the city normally requires a detailed plan for the use of the land they own prior to selling it to another party. In view of the fact that not all details for future use of the land can be specified the chancellor explained that he hopes to submit to Mayor Daley a proposed development plan for the land that is more general but one that defines the kind of uses anticipated. EXECUTIVE SESSION ADJOURNED There being no further business, the executive session adjourned at 12 noon. RECESS At this point, the board recessed for luncheon. Following a meeting of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds,1 the board reconvened in regular session at 1:40 p.m. to complete the balance of the meeting. 1 During the meeting of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, Vice President Bazzani reported to the trustees that the item from the previous month concerning the employment of an engineer for Willard Airport capital improvement projects ought to have included the following information: T h e r e is a land use restriction imposed by the Federal government with regard to what can be done in construction supported by the Federal government. (The Federal government is providing 90 percent of the funds required for the Willard Airport development; the State is providing the remaining 10 percent.) Further, there is a State law that applies to all airports in the State that empowers the Illinois Department of Transportation to take over operations of an airport if the operator impairs the aviation resources of the facility. These understandings were agreed to by the University in the contracts signed.
