I94i] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 269 T h e Director has further advised that the budget for the Research and Educational Hospitals will be included in the general appropriation bill for the Department of Public Welfare and that steps will be taken to transfer this item to the University later in the session of the General Assembly when other institutions and divisions are transferred from the Department of Public W e l fare to the new Department of Public Safety, which the Governor has recommended be established. I recommend: 1. That the Board of Trustees approve the revision of Article IV, Section 4, of the agreement. 2. That the University do not introduce an appropriation bill for the Research and Educational Hospitals but wait for the transfer of this budget from the Department of Public Welfare, in accordance with the proposal of the Director thereof, with the understanding that the transfer will include or provide for $379,000 for permanent improvements and $1,142,938 for operation. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this revision was approved as recommended, and the President of the University was authorized to look after the interests of the University in the matter. CIVIL SERVICE LEGISLATION (5) It is recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize the introduction in the General Assembly of Illinois of a bill to amend the State Civil Service Law to provide a separate merit system and classifications of employees of the University of Illinois under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Board. T h e effect of such legislation would be to exclude the University from the operation of the present law and set up a Civil Service System for the University. It would not disturb the tenure of any present incumbents of positions now under State Civil Service. On motion of Mr. Adams, the President of the University was authorized to secure the introduction of legislation to make this change.
