RESOLUTIONS FROM THE URBANA SENATE ON EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN UNIVERSITY CONSTRUCTION (34) President Henry called to the attention of the Board the inclusion in the "President's Report on Actions of the Senates" the text of the resolutions from the Urbana Senate with regard to equal opportunity in University construction. The resolutions, approved by the Urbana Senate on November 10, 1969, are as follows: "Despite an appreciable concern on the part of the administration, the University has not succeeded in its efforts at Urbana-Champaign to provide adequate employment opportunity for black-citizens in the several crafts engaged with private contractors in University construction projects. "Therefore be it resolved: "I. That the University announce in its advertising for bids upon University construction projects (and the University of Illinois Foundation for bids for the construction of the Faculty Center), that contracts will be awarded only to contractors who submit affirmative action programs which are designed to meet goals prescribed by the University, and further that failure to comply with the affirmative action programs will result in prompt suspension of work upon contracts which have been awarded. "II. That the University establish as soon as possible, but not later than January 1, 1970, the specific goals of minority group employment, to be implemented by the contractors affirmative action proposals, which will secure in the shortest practicable period of time significant inclusion of black craftsmen in each of the several crafts engaged upon University construction projects."
