2. Appropriation for Anticipated Expenses Although it is not possible to estimate expenses precisely, based upon past experience, it is recommended that the board approve an allocation of $100,000 for this purpose from the general reserve. Should this amount prove to be inadequate, a further recommendation will be made later. II The chair of the board recommends: 1. That the trustees formally name and appoint to membership those listed above and that the committee be charged in accord with the statement adopted by the board on July 8, 1994 (a copy is filed with the secretary of the board for record). 2. That the board allocate from the general reserve the sum of $ 100,000 for expenses (search firm expenses and fee, committee travel and meeting expenses, candidate travel and expenses, advertising, supplies, .50 FTE staff, printing, postage, supplies, and other expenses accruing to a search of this magnitude) at this time, providing supplemental funds later as needed and requested.

At this point, Mr. Boyle recognized Ms. Lopez who indicated that she wished to recommend a change which dealt with the appointment of members to the committee. Ms. Lopez asked that this item be changed to include Professor Louise A. Kerr and delete Professor Raphael A. Nunez-Cedeno. She said that this would increase the number of women on the committee. Several trustees responded and then Ms. Lopez made the following motion: Change this item to substitute the appointment of Professor Louise Kerr for that of Professor Raphael Nunez-Cedeno on the Consultative Committee to Assist in the Selection of a President. The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Boyle, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mrs. Gravenhorst; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.) Then, Ms. Lopez made the motion to approve the item, as amended, and the following roll call vote was taken: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, none; no, none; not voting, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose.) At this time, Dr. Bacon stated that she would need to depart the meeting. She indicated that were she able to stay she would have voted aye on all additional items.
