BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 10

EXECUTIVE SESSION

Mr. Forsyth, referring to Section Two of the Open Meetings Act, stated: "A motion is now in order to hold an executive session to consider information regarding the appointment, employment, or dismissal of employees or officers, to discuss pending, probable, or imminent litigation, the acquisition of real property, and to discuss campus security." The motion was made by Mr. Hahn and approved unanimously.

Anthony Wade vs. Lynn, ef a/.

The university counsel reported the completion of the settlement in the above case, in an amount of $4.5 million. (See minutes of the March 13, 1986, Board of Trustees' meeting.)

Acquisition of Land, Urbana (Relocation Assistance)

(1) Two owner-occupied residences are within the authorized north campus land acquisition project, properties at 1303 West Clark Street and 402 North Romine Street, Urbana. The owners have lived in these houses for a number of years and have stated that they do not wish to sell them. They have stated as well that acquisition of their property will result in a financial hardship in relocation costs. The Board of Trustees has authorized the acquisition of these properties at a price within appraisals received by the University or at the amount determined in condemnation proceedings. It is acknowledged that the owner/residents will experience additional costs in relocation and that the availability of relocation assistance will enable them to complete the move with less financial burden. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that up to $10,000 be made available to each property owner to cover reasonable relocation assistance costs in the event that a settlement for the acquisition of each property can be reached within the appraised fair market value, and consistent with applicable laws. Funds for this purpose are available from private gifts through the University of Illinois Foundation and funds appropriated by the State of Illinois.

On motion of Mr. Logan, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Becker, Mr. Lamm; no, none.) There being no further business, Mr. Forsyth announced the executive session would be adjourned.

MEETING, COMMITTEE ON ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Following the executive session, and with all trustees present as previously indicated, the Committee on Academic Affairs was convened at 9:15 a.m. to receive information from academic officers at each campus concerning "quality control" in faculty promotion and tenure and as applied to student affairs. During the first presentation, the meeting was repeatedly disrupted by
