1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 199 person who also told the trustees that delegation with accountability (utilizing a good post-audit system) was very much preferred. The board members asked the candidate about relations with faculty and were told that this individual had regular meetings with the faculty senate which was not a practice of predecessors in the current position held by this individual. The candidate described several methods of learning of concerns from internal constituencies and from students and their families and expressed concern for communicating regularly with all of the university's publics. The candidate reported to the board that past experience with intercollegiate athletics had provided many lessons and that present approaches to management of this area of a university included very close contact with the athletic director. A description of how a crisis was managed involved handling a legal suit at the candidate's current institution which was very threatening to the institution. The observation was made that controls were presently in place for the practice of preventative law. The trustees discussed this individual's relationships with alumni, community groups, and other external groups and found considerable experience existed in these areas. The interview concluded at 12:05 p.m. Following this, the trustees discussed all six candidates from observations gleaned from the interviews and concluded that three of the six should be invited back to meet again for further discussions. It was determined that the candidates' spouses should be invited for these meetings as well. There being no further business, the board adjourned. MICHELE M. THOMPSON THOMAS R. LAMONT Secretary Chair
