UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

On motion of Ms. Reese, these appointments were confirmed. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 11 through 29 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 1996

(11) The University budget for operations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1995, is submitted in the document entitled "Budget Summary for Operations, FY 19951996." (A copy of this document is 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 the recommendation of 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, 1995, 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 Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved and authority was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

Academic Personnel Budget, Fiscal Year 1995-96

(12) In June 1995, the Board of Trustees approved the continuation of the FY 1995 budget into FY 1996 until such time as the University appropriation process was completed and could be translated into detailed budget recommendations. With the finalization of the detailed budget, recommendations for academic and administrative appointments beginning on August 21, 1995, at Urbana-Champaign; August 16, 1995 (July 1, 1995, for administrative staff), at Springfield; and September 1, 1995, at Chicago, have been completed within the funds available to the University. Accordingly, I recommend approval of the budget document entitled "Academic Personnel, 1995-1996" and request authorization, in accord with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income as it accrues: (a) to accept resignations; (b) to make such additional appointments as are necessary and to approve the issuance of notices of nonreappointment, subject to the provisions of the University of Illinois Statutes, General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, and Policy and Rules — Nonacademic; and (c) 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. (A copy of the budget document is filed with the secretary of the board for record.)
