what President Ikenberry's situation at the University would be after his resignation from the presidency. Dr. Bazzani then summarized the points discussed on the previous day, at Dr. Gindorf's request. Mrs. Calder asked for clarification of the review process for annual reappointments of tenured faculty. Following this, Dr. Bacon indicated that she thought that the appointment as a faculty member, with the same salary as the board had approved for the current year and with a oneyear leave for the purpose described by President Ikenberry, were all very appropriate. Other members of the board then added that the proposal for funding for an Office of the President Emeritus was appropriate as well. In response to Mr. Lamont's point that presidential transition was an arrangement to be structured by the board, the trustees agreed to delineate the aspects of the transition they considered important for them to decide. The following items were agreed to by consensus by the trustees as items they would like to have forwarded to them for official action in the prescribed way in future months: appointment as a faculty member in a college or unit, probably one of the two, Colleges of Education or the Institute of Government and Public Affairs; recommendation that the salary for Fiscal Year 1996 be the same as the president's current salary; recommendation that the president devote the major part of FY 1996 to study, research, writing, and general updating in preparation for assumption of a faculty role in FY 1997; and creation of an Office of President Emeritus, to provide support to the work of the president emeritus. Further, it was suggested that the board would ask President Ikenberry to write them in the future to specify his plans for his role as a faculty member.
