CHANGES IN PRIORITIES AMONG CAPITAL PROJECTS TO BE F U N D E D BY T H E ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY

(37) On March IS, 1968, Governor Kerner approved a recommendation from the Board of Higher Education that a moratorium be declared on the funding of capital projects by the Illinois Building Authority, except for projects specifically approved by the Board of Higher Education for exemption from the moratorium. Following the Governor's action, that Board established a Capital Projects Priorities Committee — consisting of representatives designated by the institutions and systems — and, with the advice of that Committee, the Board adopted on May 7, 1968, a set of criteria and procedures for determining priorities among capital projects. Since that date, the Illinois Building Authority has not funded the construction of any capital project for public institutions of higher education without authorization from the Governor upon recommendation of the Board of Higher Education. The Board's recommendations to the Governor have been based largely upon quarterly lists of project priorities developed with the advice of the Capital Projects Priorities Committee. In general, the determination of priorities by the Committee has been based upon the application of a system of procedures and criteria developed by the Committee and adopted by the Board of Higher Education. Institutional judgments may enter into these determinations under only two of the criteria: (a) Criterion 9 (emergency — e.g., when a project is essential to the continuing operation of the existing plant); (b) Criterion 10 (which allows an institution to request an exchange of priorities among two of its projects). In order that emergency or other desirable changes in priority might be made without delay, the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President and Comptroller recommend that the President be authorized to submit requests for such changes to the Board of Higher Education. It is recommended further that in making such requests the President would have the advice of the University Building Program Committee. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved.
