BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 16

6. Occasions for informal discussions between students and the members of the Board will continue to be arranged and, if possible, extended. 7. Each month at one of the campuses, a conference will be arranged by the Chancellor at that campus to which members of the student government and other student leaders will be invited. Members of the Board of Trustees' Committee on Student Welfare and Activities will make themselves available to attend these conferences and other Trustees will be invited to attend as well. The agenda and attendance at each conference will be developed by the Chancellors in consultation with students.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved.

PROVISIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN THROUGH 1 9 8 0 - 8 1

19 7 1 - 7 2

(5) The accompanying document entitled Provisional Development Plan —1971-72 Through 1980-81 presents proposals for the educational development of the University of Illinois during the next decade. It has been prepared partly in response to requests from the Illinois Board of Higher Education for information about the long-range plans of state-supported colleges and universities. The Office of the Board of Higher Education also asked that a digest of the full report be submitted, and the attached Summary will meet that request. The Introduction to the Provisional Development Plan describes the requests from the Board of Higher Education, outlines the planning activities undertaken throughout the University since December, 1968, and explains why the present document should be considered "provisional" (with final publication in June, 1971). In proposing deferral of final action on the plan, it is stated that there has not been sufficient time to permit widespread internal review of the completed document, and that a postponement of final publication until next June would "allow time for all major constituencies of the University — faculty, students, administrative officers, alumni, trustees — to contribute to the revision." I recommend approval of the Provisional Development Plan and the Summary, in principle, and the transmittal of both documents to the Board of Higher Education. O n motion of Dr. Walker, this recommendation was approved.
