BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY

President Ikenberry recognized and introduced observers from the campus senates and from the University Senates Conference.1 He then asked Professor Kenneth Andersen, chair of the University Senates Conference, to present a report of the work of the conference for the past year.

Report from the Chair of the University Senates Conference

Professor Andersen reviewed the work of the University Senates Conference for the last year. He emphasized the considerable amount of time the conference gave to assisting in the development of the procedures for selecting a Consultative Committee to Assist in the Selection of a President. He explained that in recommending the individuals to the board there were two criteria the conference followed; one was that no member of the conference would be recommended for the Consultative Committee, and the second was that no individual holding a terminal contract would be recommended.

OLD BUSINESS

Mrs. Gravenhorst reported that she had represented the board at a meeting of the Illinois Board of Higher Education the previous month. Ms. Reese then reported that she had attended a meeting of the University of Illinois Foundation, as a representative of the board in August.
