732 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 21 REPORT ON MISSION ABROAD EARL M. HUGHES Mr. Hughes opened the meeting with brief remarks on his recentlycompleted mission to India and Teheran, to visit educational projects in which the University participates. REPORT ON REVIEW OF POLICY ON ADMISSIONS President Henry reported that in December the University was invited to present an exposition of the new admissions policy and procedures to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. He noted that that Board had received a letter on the subject from Governor Ogilvie. Dr. Henry stated that in the discussion with the Board of Higher Education it became clear that the difficulty of making admissions judgments among qualified students when institutional capacity is exceeded is not one peculiar to the University of Illinois. The Executive Director of the State Board proposes to study the general question. Meanwhile, the All-University Committee on Admissions is reviewing the subject and will report to the three Senates. The President stated that when the study has been completed a report will be presented to the Trustees. This report was received for record. REPORT ON PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTING FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATION RELATING TO CAMPUS DISORDERS AND FINANCIAL AID A memorandum from the University Counsel on this subject, and a document outlining administrative procedures relating to it, were presented to the Trustees. The President indicated that the procedures would be made effective immediately. The report from the University Counsel was received for record. The statement of procedures follows: University of Illinois Procedures for Implementing Federal and State Legislation Relating to Campus Disorders and Financial Aid A. State and Federal legislation requiring disqualification for or withdrawal of financial aid will be implemented by the University through a system separate from and independent of other University procedures. B. Denial or termination of financial aid as required by the legislation will occur only after the applicant or recipient has had notice and an opportunity for hearing. C. At each campus the Chancellor, on behalf of the President, will be responsible for the initiation and disposition of such matters within the guidelines here established. D. Machinery for implementation will have the same basic structure at each campus, as outlined herein. E. Referral to hearing will be by the direction of the Chancellor. (If a referral under S.B. 191 is contested, the Chancellor shall consult with the President.) F. At each campus a hearing panel will be appointed annually by the Chancellor on behalf of the President. G. The panel will hear and decide all cases referred by the Chancellor, and its decision shall be final unless appealed. H. Any applicant or recipient may appeal the decision of the hearing panel to the Chancellor for review, and the Chancellor's disposition on review shall not be subject to further appeal or review. I. Each Chancellor will develop procedures for initiation, presentation, hearing, and appeal of cases. Hearing and appeal procedures will be subject to the approval of the University Counsel for legal sufficiency.
