UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

at Springfield has recommended that members of the faculty of that campus be given sabbatical leaves of absence in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The programs of research, study, and travel for which leaves are requested have been examined at the campus-level. The vice president for academic affairs has reviewed the applications for the leaves and recommends approval of 73 leaves for Chicago, 8 leaves for Springfield, and 137 leaves for Urbana-Champaign. (A list of those recommended has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.) (For the record and to provide an annual compilation, in 1995-96, 55 leaves were taken at Chicago, 8 leaves were taken at Springfield, 159 leaves were taken at Urbana-Champaign, and 1 leave was taken by University Administration.) I concur.

On motion of Ms. Reese, these leaves were granted as recommended. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 10 through 26 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Revision to Actions Requiring Specific Board of Trustees' Authorization for Capital Project Professional Service Agreements

(10) On January 14, 1994, the board approved the revision of dollar limits on purchases, leases, and contracts, and other actions requiring specific Board of Trustees' authorization. Subsequently, it was discovered that amendments to professional service agreements for capital projects were not included in the list of approved items. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate University officers, recommends that the capital projects authorization for change orders of $50,000 or more (when the overall project budget or scope is affected) include contract change orders, change orders, and amendments to professional services agreements.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Rose; no, none; absent, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew.)
