i95i] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 517 changes in the University Civil Service Law presented to the Board of Trustees on December 28, 1950, and referred to the Committee. Your Committee recommends that the Board approve the introduction of a bill in the Sixty-seventh General Assembly of Illinois to secure such improvements in the present law as are in the public interest and which will better serve the University and other institutions of higher education in Illinois, subject to the following conditions: (a) If the employees of other institutions of higher education in Illinois are to be included in any new University Civil Service System, officials of these institutions and appropriate representatives of their employees shall be consulted with the view to securing unanimous approval of the provisions of the new law. (b) Appropriate representatives of University of Illinois employee groups shall also be consulted and hearings shall be given to interested parties. (c) All present rights of University employees under the existing law shall be preserved. (d) The new law shall preserve the prevailing rate policy which has been followed by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois for many years. (e) If feasible, the new law shall include a provision for reciprocity with other civil service systems which are equivalent to the University's system. (f) The support and sponsorship of such legislation by members of the General Assembly representing the districts in which other institutions of higher education, which may be included in a new University Civil Service System, shall be secured. In the event it is not found feasible to include other institutions of higher education in the proposed new law, your Committee recommends that the Board approve legislation which will improve the present law with respect to the University of Illinois.
