BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 17

and remodeling expenditures plan and project list of the Auxiliary Facilities System for 1983. The Board of Trustees reconvened as a meeting of the Committee of the Whole. Presentation, Fiscal Year 1984 Operating Budget and Capital Budget Requests President Ikenberry reported briefly on recent actions of the Illinois Senate committee and more recently the House committee with regard .to the University's current budget request for Fiscal Year 1983. He spoke generally of the financial expectations of the coming year and the increasing test of breadth and scope of service versus quality at a time of inadequate financial support. However, legislators in both houses have been supportive and sympathetic and the efforts of the alumni have been of considerable help in acquainting the political leadership and the public in general of the needs of the University. Executive Vice President Brady and his staff presented background information leading to the preparation of recommendations to the Board of Trustees for the University's budget request for FY 1984 (copies of the relevant documents are filed with the secretary). More specific information and recommendations will be presented to the Board of Trustees in July prior to final action in September.
