of the project. Thereafter, it is anticipated that no student tuition will be required for this project. (The letter of recommendation from the Chancellor as well as reports prepared by the ad hoc Policy Committee on Community Housing Development and the Real Estate Research Corporation are being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.) I concur and recommend approval of the proposed project as a "non-instructional facility" by the Illinois Board of Higher Education, and, if approved by the Board of Higher Education, that approval of the General Assembly be sought pursuant to House Bill 1172 enacted by the Seventy-fifth General Assembly and that an application be submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for a debt service grant. I further recommend approval of the Chancellor's proposal that the University explore the feasibility of participating directly or indirectly in the formation of not-for-profit corporations and in conjunction with state and federal funding programs develop low and moderate income housing. Such explorations would include a search for ways and means of encouraging private interests to initiate and participate in such endeavors. (The recommendation was reviewed by the Committee on Buildings and Grounds at the beginning of the November 13 meetings and was endorsed by the Committee.)

On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain, Dr. Walker; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Page, Mr. Stone.
