1993] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 261 MINUTES APPROVED The secretary presented for approval the press proof of the minutes of the Board of Trustees meeting of February 11-12, 1993, copies of which had previously been sent to the board. Ms. Lopez noted an addition she wanted added to a part of these minutes. The other board members concurred with this request. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, these minutes with Ms. Lopez' addition were approved. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY President Ikenberry recognized and introduced observers from the campus senates and from the University Senates Conference.1 He then noted for the board the developments occurring in the State legislature concerning the University's appropriation bill and how additional monies had been added by both chambers of the legislature. He also indicated that the bill was in conference committee in the General Assembly and that it was likely that the additional funds might be reduced before final decisions are made concerning all matters under discussion in the conference committee. The president reported that he thought the University would be fiscally stable but constrained in the year ahead. He told the board that salary increases for faculty and staff were very unlikely, however he hoped some increases might be possible for employees in the lowest salary grades. The president indicated that as far as capital budget requests were concerned the University was seeking equipment funds for the addition to the College of Law and for Buell Hall in Urbana. Next, he noted that the issues of higher education governance in Illinois were still under discussion but that changes to the current structure were not expected. Dr. Bacon left the meeting at this time to attend an event on the campus.
