is submitted herewith, including recommendations for (a) academic and administrative appointments beginning August 2 1 , 1979, at Urbana-Champaign and September 1, 1979, at Chicago; and (b) funds for the nonacademic staff on a continuous basis. Authorization to pay salaries and wages for the period July 1, 1979, to the new contract dates was granted by the Board of Trustees on June 20, 1979. For the purpose of determining payments for a fractional year of academic service, the academic year at the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses is defined as September 16 through June 15, and the academic year at the UrbanaChampaign campus is defined as August 21 through May 20. T h e budget has been prepared by the vice president for administration based upon recommendations of the chancellors at the three campuses (after consultation with their respective deans, directors, and other campus officers) ; and the president of the University. T h e allocation of funds follows general policies and priorities developed by these reviews and was recommended by the University Planning Council. 1 Submitted herewith are two budget documents: "Budget Summary for Operations, 1979-80" and the "Personal Services Supplement" for 1979-80. (Copies of these documents have been filed with the secretary of the board for record.) I recommend that this budget, covering the allocation of the estimated operating income from all sources for the year beginning July 1, 1979, be approved by the Board of Trustees and that the president of the University be authorized, in accord with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income as it accrues: (a) to accept resignations; (b) to make such additional appointments as are necessary, subject to the provisions of the University of Illinois Statutes and the Policy and Rules — Nonacademic; and (c) to make such changes and adjustments in items included in the budget as are needed, such changes to be covered in periodic reports to the Board of Trustees.
