Also present were President James J. Stukel; Dr. Michele M. Thompson, secretary; Ms. Susan J. Sindelar, special assistant to the president; and Dr. John Solaro,1 chair of the Search Committee for a Chancellor, Chicago. Dr. Solaro was present to provide information to the board about the candidates. President Stukel told the board the purpose of the meeting was twofold. First, there was to be a discussion of the candidate for head varsity men's basketball coach, Urbana, and, second, the board would interview candidates recommended by the Search Committee for a Chancellor, Chicago. This second task was planned for the balance of the day on March 21 and for March 22, 1996. The notice indicated that the board would meet in Executive Session.

Mr. Guenther announced that Lon Kruger of the University of Florida was his recommendation to become the next head varsity men's basketball coach at the Urbana campus. Mr. Guenther made remarks about Mr. Kruger's qualifications for this position. At the end of Mr. Guenther's remarks, Chancellor Aiken made a few remarks endorsing this. Ms. Reese commended Mr. Guenther for his efforts in this process. Dr. Aiken and Mr. Guenther concluded their telephone discussion with the trustees at this time. BRIEFING FROM PRESIDENT STUKEL PRIOR TO INTERVIEWS President Stukel asked the trustees to keep all matters discussed in the upcoming interviews confidential throughout the process and to be consistent with their questions of each candidate.

The board members then reviewed a list of questions that they might ask and decided on the areas of questioning that each trustee would take as a responsibility during the interviews. The list of questions from which the board members selected general areas for the purpose of posing their own questions of candidates follows: 1 Dr. Solaro joined the meeting at 9:15 a.m., after the discussion regarding the head varsity men's basketball coach, Urbana
