568 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 17 of the invention and prior publications supplied by the inventors enabled U P I to conclude that the invention is probably not patentable; and, even if found to be patentable, the nature of the invention makes commercial licensing unfeasible. The University Patent Committee recommends that the University release its rights to the sponsor, the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 2. Two Soluble Keartin Replacements for Fetal Bovine Serum in Tissue Culture Systems—-Abe Widra, associate professor of microbiology, and Robert W. Pumper, professor of microbiology, College of Medicine at Chicago, inventors. University Patents, Inc. did not elect to subject this invention to the terms of the servicing agreement. It was UPI's opinion that pursuit of patent protection for this invention was not feasible due to a total lack of commercial interest in the technology. T h e University Patent Committee recommends that the University release its rights to the inventors. I concur. On motion of Dr. Donoghue, these recommendations were approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 14 through 23 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.) Conveyance of Property to State of Illinois (14) In 1964, the University conveyed to the State of Illinois two parcels of property adjacent to the site of the Children's Research Center in the southwest area of the Urbana-Champaign campus. The conveyance was made to permit construction of a mental health clinic near the Children's Research Center. The deed provided that ownership of the two parcels would be vested in the University if and when the State ceased to use the property for a mental health clinic. The State constructed the Adler Mental Health Center on one parcel and a State regional office building on the other. T h e Adler Mental Health Center ceased operations in July of 1982. In September of 1982, the Illinois Building Authority released its interest in the regional office building. As a result of these actions, title to the two parcels originally conveyed now is vested in the University of Illinois. However, the State of Illinois continues to maintain and operate the office building, and the Department of Central Management Services has requested that the property be formally conveyed to the State. Therefore, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that title to the property be conveyed to the State of Illinois for so long as it is used for a State regional office building and that the following resolution authorizing the conveyance be adopted. Resolution Whereas the General Assembly of the State of Illinois declared it to be in the public interest for the Illinois Building Authority, a body corporate and politic of the State of Illinois, duly organized and existing pursuant to "AN A C T to create the Illinois Building Authority and to define its powers and duties" approved August 15, 1961, as amended, to construct an office building for the use of the State of Illinois upon the following described premises; and Whereas all right, title and interest of the Illinois Building Authority in and to said premises and building has terminated and has been released by the Illinois Building Authority; and
