BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 15

FY 1992-1993." (A copy of the document has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.) The budget has been prepared by the vice president for academic affairs and the vice president for business and finance based upon recommendations of: (a) the chancellors, after consultation with their respective deans, directors, and other campus officers; and (b) the president of the University. The allocation of funds follows general policies and priorities developed by these reviews and was recommended by the University Planning Council. I recommend that this budget, covering the allocation of the estimated operating income from all sources for the year beginning July 1, 1992, be approved by the Board of Trustees; and that the president of the University be authorized, in accord with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income as it accrues, 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 recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Boyle, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Mrs. Shepherd; no, Mrs. Calder; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Begovich, Mr. Lawless; no, none.) By consensus, the board agreed that one vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 3 through 8 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Chair, Department of Performing Arts, Chicago

(3) The chancellor at Chicago, after consultation with the dean of the College of Architecture, Art, and Urban Planning, has recommended the appointment of R. Victor Harnack, presently professor of speech in the Department of Communication and Theater, and acting chair of the Department of Performing Arts, as chair of the Department of Performing Arts, beginning October 15, 1992, on an academic year service basis at an annual salary of $68,480. Dr. Harnack will continue to hold the rank of professor on indefinite tenure. He will be the first chair of the newly organized Department of Performing Arts. This recommendation is made after consultation with the Executive Committee and faculty of the department. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this appointment was approved. (Mrs. Calder asked to be recorded as not voting on this item.)
