1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 167 their review. All of these individuals had had several years' experience in administrative positions in higher education. All had demonstrated the ability to relate well to internal and external constituencies of the University, and all had good records of scholarship. Some had had considerable experience in oversight of intercollegiate athletics and others had good experience in managing academic health science centers. The careers of all were notable and several had held administrative positions at several different universities. All of these individuals had been asked to describe their vision for the University and all had demonstrated an ability to judge the next steps that would probably be useful in maintaining the excellence of the institution. The trustees asked Mr. Funk if he had information about these candidates. He reported that he had received very good remarks about them. The trustees then pursued discussion with Professor Bahr, Professor Johnson, and Mr. Funk about the management styles of the prospects. Mr. Funk made the point that individuals who are interested in the position of president of the University of Illinois usually know something of the demands of the position and most of those who accept nomination are fairly well aware of what is required. Thus, all of these individuals are well qualified to perform in this position. After consideration of the attributes of each of the prospects presented, the trustees decided to interview each one presented by the Committee. A brief discussion of compensation for the new president followed. President Ikenberry advised that the board consider starting their thinking about this by considering that the beginning salary would be at least $225,000. The trustees then considered meeting times for interviewing the individuals discussed at this meeting. They settled on the days following the next board meeting, February 9, 1995, and instructed the secretary to call each prospective candidate and issue an invitation on behalf of the board for an interview with the board. There being no further business, the executive session adjourned at 4:50 p.m. There being no further business, the board adjourned. MICHELE M. THOMPSON THOMAS R. LAMONT Secretary Chair
