BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 10

for academic and administrative appointments (beginning on August 21, 1993, at Urbana-Champaign and on September 1, 1993, at Chicago) have been completed within the funds available to the University. Accordingly, I recommend approval of the budget document entitled "Academic Personnel, 1993-1994" and request authorization, in accord with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income as it accrues: (a) to accept resignations; (b) to make such additional appointments as are necessary and to approve the issuance of notices of nonreappoinment, subject to the provisions of the University of Illinois Statutes, General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, and Policy and Rules — Nonacademic; and (c) to make such adjustments in items included in the budget as are needed, such adjustments to be covered in periodic reports to the Board of Trustees.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved and authority was given as requested by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Huff, Mr. Riley; no, none.) By consensus, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 3 through 11 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
