556 BOARD OF TRUSTEES and how this experience had been gathered. The candidate expressed interest in this aspect of the position. The trustees then asked the candidate to pose questions to them about the chancellorship or about the institution. The candidate inquired about the financial status of the University as a whole and the campus in particular. The budget for the University was described briefly by the trustees. The board members then asked the candidate about an ability to adjust to new situations and to make transitions. The candidate responded that institutions like UIC are of much interest and that these institutions are exciting because they are making our society successful and will contribute more in the future. Finally, the board members asked to know more about the candidate's management style. To this the candidate replied that this is typified by: working long hours, much delegation, making people like to do what is needed, wide consultation — with deadlines and good staff relations. In response to a question asking the candidate to describe weaknesses, this candidate described taking on too much work as an occasional problem. Following this interview, the president and the trustees discussed the candidate's remarks and answers to the questions asked. After that, the board members and President Stukel discussed all four candidates. The discussion concluded with the understanding that President Stukel would make inquiries about some of the candidates over the next week and then inform the trustees if new information was discovered. During this week, the trustees were encouraged to discuss the candidates with the president, if they wished. It was agreed that at the end of the week, the president would make a recommendation to the trustees of a choice for chancellor of the Chicago campus. There being no further business, the board adjourned. MICHELE M. THOMPSON THOMAS R. LAMONT Secretary Chair
