The president then asked Professor Gene W. Ruoff, secretary of the Chicago Senate, to report on activities over the past year.

He also stated that the senate continues to review gains in attaining greater diversity on campus. Further, he noted that a review of priorities for the campus continues.

He concluded by saying that he hoped that the senate would be the forum for a general discussion of the "Great Cities Initiative" introduced by Chancellor Stukel a few months earlier.
