The funds appropriated by the Seventy-sixth General Assembly to the University of Illinois for all purposes are summarized below. Shown also are the amounts requested by the University and approved by the Board of Higher Education. The budget has been prepared by the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President and Comptroller, based upon recommendations of the chancellors at the three campuses, deans, directors, and other administrative officers, and in consultation with the University Budget Committee 1 representing all campuses of the University. Budget policies with respect to general assignments of funds, including salary adjustments, have also been reviewed with the University Council on Administration. (Finally, the budget will have been reviewed by the Finance Committee of the Board prior to formal action by the Board.) Submitted herewith is the budget document containing: (a) a Condensed Analysis, 2 which outlines the income anticipated for fiscal year 1970 and describes the principal increases in the budget; (b) Schedules A through H, 2 which contain summaries of income and appropriations for the entire University and budget totals by major categories for each campus; and (c) summaries for each college or other major administrative unit within each campus. 2 Also submitted are four supplemental volumes (two for Urbana-Champaign and general University administration, and one each for the other campuses) presenting budget details for departments, divisions, and other operating units. 2 I recommend that this budget, covering the allocation of the estimated operating income from all sources for the year beginning July 1, 1969, and as approved by the Finance Committee, be approved by the Board, and that the President of the University be authorized, in accordance with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income: (a) to accept resignations; (b) to make such additional appointments as are necessary subject to the provisions of the University Statutes and the Policy and Rules-Nonacademic; and (c) to make such changes and adjustments in items included in the budget as are needed. All such changes are to be covered in the Vice President and Comptroller's quarterly financial reports, or in reports to the Board by its Secretary, provided that assignments for nonrecurring capital expenditures in excess of $12,500 shall be presented to the Board for approval.
