QUARTERLY REPORTS OF THE COMPTROLLER (26) The Comptroller presented his quarterly report to the Board as of September 30, 1970.

This report was received for record, and a copy has been filed with the Secretary of the Board.

EMPLOYMENT OF SPECIAL COUNSEL

(27) A suit has been filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County (71 L 1058) by the University Police Association, an unincorporated association, against "Trustees of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle and the Medical Center, a State of Illinois Trusteeship, a Public Corporation." The Complaint alleges that a collective agreement exists between the University and the Association, that the Association is composed of a majority of the nonacademic workers classified as Police Lieutenant, Police Sergeant, and Policeman, and that the terms of that agreement have not been complied with. The Plaintiff seeks a judgment increasing the hourly wage rate by 9£ per hour retroactive to May 1, 1970. The University Counsel recommends that he be authorized to take such steps as are necessary or appropriate, including the employment of special counsel, to defend the interests of the University in the proceedings. I concur. On motion of M r . Swain, this recommendation was approved.

LEAVE O F ABSENCE A N D APPOINTMENT, DR. DAVID D. HENRY

(28) The following item was presented by President Hughes : It has been the intention of the members of the Board of Trustees that at the close of his administrative tenure on August 31, 1971, the President should be kept on salary for one year as a "terminal" leave of absence. This leave would be a recognition of deferred and unused vacation and professional leave time for which he has been eligible but which has, over the years, been unused. The Board at this time also takes note of a recommendation from the College of Education at the Urbana campus, approved by the Chancellor and the Provost, that Dr. David Henry be appointed to a professorship in higher education, to be effective in the fall of 1972 and at a salary to be recommended by the College as a part of the budget for 1972-73 as approved by the Board of Trustees. The Board, therefore, approves the appointment of Dr. David Henry as President Emeritus, effective September 1, 1971, that he be granted a leave of absence with pay for 1971-72, and that he be appointed Distinguished Professor of Higher Education, effective September 1, 1972, the salary amount to be recommended by the College of Education in the budget for 1972-73 as approved by the Board of Trustees. (Some initial duties in the College will be undertaken in the second semester of 1971-72.) O n motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation of the President of the Board was approved.
