198 BOARD OF TRUSTEES MINUTES APPROVED [December 18 The Secretary presented the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 19, 1968, press proof copies of which had previously been sent to the Board. On motion of Mr. Clement, the minutes were approved as printed on pages 1041 to 1194 inclusive. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY The Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. PRESIDENT'S REPORT President Henry presented a report on selected topics of current interest, copies of which were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the Secretary of the Board. STATEMENT ON PENDING DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS Mr. Hughes presented the following statement for consideration of the Board. T h e Trustees have been informed about the disciplinary actions stemming from the September 9 and 10 incidents in the Illini Union at the Urbana campus. The Trustees have not had an opportunity to examine the several reports of the disciplinary subcommittees, and indeed, understand that some twenty-five cases are still to be heard and judged. It is clear that the disciplinary process of the subcommittees relating to these incidents soon will be completed. T h e President of the University is requested to report at the next meeting of the Board (on January 15, 1969) all aspects of the actions taken, including the extent to which the guidelines adopted by the Urbana Senate Committee on Student Discipline, and endorsed by the Board of Trustees on September 18, have been followed by the subcommittees. On that date the Board stated: T h e Trustees do not expect on the one hand that illegal actions will be tolerated ; neither on the other hand do they expect that those who are accused of such acts will receive capricious judgment. Therefore, the Board heartily endorses the firm yet fair statement of the Urbana Senate Committee on Student Discipline which provides guidance for the disciplinary procedure now in process. On receipt and study of the President's report, and those issued by the Senate subcommittees and the Senate committee, the Trustees will be in a position to express their concerns and to determine what action, if any, is indicated to ensure that the disciplinary procedures in practice implement the policies enunciated by the Faculty Senate and the Board of Trustees.
