UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

771

T h e last report on perquisites of members of the staff was made to the Board in April, 1940. Since then the University has placed in operation the Illini Union Buildings at Urbana and in Chicago and has taken over the Research and Educational Hospitals, which has added a number of members to the staff who are affected by the requirements of the federal law. Accordingly I submit a new list 1 of employees receiving perquisites of one kind or another, the status of which should be officially determined. This list has been compiled by the Comptroller on the basis of certifications from the heads of the divisions concerned. It includes only those individuals whose names appear in the itemized operating budget. There are numerous other positions for which provision is made in the budget, but the names of the incumbents do not appear therein because they are employed on an hourly, weekly, or monthly basis and not under annual contracts. Authorization for determining the status of the compensation received by all individuals in such positions is also requested. The following resolution is submitted: Be it resolved, by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, that the accommodations, services, or perquisites received by persons holding during the academic year 1941-1942 positions listed in the exhibit hereto attached 1 under the heading of " F o r Convenience of Employer" shall be regarded as for the convenience of the University and not as a part of the compensation received by the employee for the services rendered to the extent indicated in that schedule. The persons holding the positions referred to in the first paragraph of this motion and performing substantially the services connected with such position shall, until further action by the Board, be regarded as receiving the accommodations, services, or perquisites referred to for the convenience of the University and not as a part of the compensation received by them for the services they render. In all other cases where perquisites are furnished, such perquisites shall be considered a part of compensation. T h e President of the University is authorized to approve for the Board the allocation of similar perquisites which may be involved in the employment of persons in wage positions not itemized in the internal budget.

Mr. Morey presented this matter. On motion of Mr. Davis, the resolution was adopted.
