Report on Recent Litigation

University Counsel Higgins reported on a number of items of pending litigation. In one instance, a settlement of a medical malpractice case may be involved, but the board will be asked for specific action at a later date. Mr. Hahn joined the meeting at this time.

Land Acquisition, Chicago Campus

Chancellor Langenberg was asked to report on increasing opportunities to acquire real estate south of Roosevelt Road; and in particular, the relationship of the University's acquisition of such property to the development of a master plan for the Chicago campus. The trustees expressed strong interest in the University's moving quickly where possible on such matters and to take the urgency into account in the employment of professional planners. (A tour of the general neighborhood around the campus will be arranged for the February Board of Trustees Meeting.)

EXECUTIVE SESSION ADJOURNED

Mr. Forsyth moved the nomination of Mr. Howard for reelection and by unanimous ballot, Mr. Howard was reelected president of the board to serve until the next annual meeting of the board or until his successor shall have been elected.

Executive Committee

Mr. Howard then asked for nominations for the Executive Committee. Mr. Forsyth nominated Mr. Hahn and Mr. Logan to serve as members of the Executive Committee, with the president of the board as chairman, ex officio.
