C H A N C E L L O R ' S HOUSE, URBANA-CHAMPAIGN

(12) On June 16, 1968, the Board of Trustees approved an arrangement for a house for the Chancellor on the Urbana-Champaign campus. Under this arrangement, the Chancellor paid an annual rental of $4,200 as a part of the costs of this facility. Later, by administrative action, this rental was reduced to $3,600. In the period since the conditions were set for partial reimbursement of the Chancellor for his official residence, a study of other institutional practices has been conducted. It is clear that it is the common practice, where the chief executive of a campus is required to live in an official residence, that the residence be furnished at no cost to him. Accordingly, the President recommends that the University assume the full costs of the Chancellor's house effective January 1, 1971. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Jones, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain, Dr. Walker; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie.

A preliminary draft of the Program and Conditions has been filed with the Secretary. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved and authority was given as requested, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Jones, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain, Dr. Walker; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Gov ernor Ogilvie.
