UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

233

Out of the nomination process, a deep interest in the University is assured. From the election process accountability to the people of Illinois is provided for. Thus is conceived a dual stewardship, to the people of Illinois and to the University community, in which a difficult, yet essential, inter-relationship must be constructed and maintained. My colleagues and I now formally welcome you to this demanding and important stewardship, and we look forward to your participation in the work of this Board. Each of the new Trustees spoke briefly and Mr. H u g h e s introduced M r s . Forsyth, M r s . H o w a r d , and M r s . Neal who were present as well as Mrs. Hughes who was in attendance. At this point the Board recessed briefly to provide an opportunity for press photographers to take pictures. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY T h e Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University.

( D r . F l e x m a n ' s report is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.)

BUDGETS AND FACULTY APPOINTMENTS FOR 1 9 7 1 SUMMER QUARTER, MEDICAL CENTER CAMPUS

(1) Submitted herewith are the special departmental budgets and appointments to the faculty for the 1971 Summer Quarter at the Medical Center campus — from June 21 through September 4, 1971. These funds are supplemental to those in the regular budget for salaries of faculty members employed on a twelve-months basis who teach during the summer quarter as part of their annual workload. The total requested is for salaries in the amount of $39,097. The corresponding total for the 1970 summer quarter was $23,755. The projected enrollment for the summer of 1971 is 1,275 students, an increase of 76 over the enrollment of 1,199 for the 1970 summer quarter. The salaries recommended are computed on the basis of one-third of the salary of the academic year for a full quarter of service, with proportionate amounts for shorter periods or for part-time service. I recommend that these appointments to the summer quarter staff at the Medical Center be approved as submitted, and that the President of the University be authorized to accept resignations and make such changes and adjustments and additional appointments as are necessary in accordance with the needs of the University within the allocations of funds indicated. On motion of M r . Grimes, these appointments and the summer session budget for the Medical Center campus for 1971 were approved, and authority was given as requested; this action was taken by the following vote: Aye, M r . Forsyth, Mr. Grimes, Mr. H a h n , Mr. H o w a r d , M r . Hughes, M r . Neal, M r . Pogue, M r . Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Steger.
