President Corbally presented a report on selected topics of current interest, copies of which were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the Secretary of the Board. The University's Scope and Mission Report The President pointed out that the Trustees have seen in draft form and for discussion the "Provisional Statement of the Scope and Mission of the University and the Basic Planning Assumptions for Its Campuses." The document is now receiving review at each of the campuses and a further review for the Trustees will be scheduled in November or December — the intention being to present a final document to the Board for action in January or February of 1974. OLD AND NEW BUSINESS PROPOSAL FOR CAMPUS REFERENDA TO SELECT METHOD THROUGH WHICH A NONVOTING S T U D E N T MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL BE CHOSEN FROM EACH CAMPUS (1) Pursuant to House Bill No. 1628 approved by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, President Corbally presented a plan providing for a general framework for the required referenda as well as a specific format for the UrbanaChampaign campus. The plan as presented was based on consultation with the Chancellors, with student groups, and with others. He indicated that proposals for specific formats at the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses would be presented to the Trustees at the October meeting. The plan as presented by the President is as follows: 1. Campus elections (referenda) will be conducted under the auspices of each Chancellor using procedures which in his judgment will provide each student with an opportunity to vote and will lead to fair tabulations and reports of election results. 2. Referenda on each campus shall include propositions appropriate to that campus which are developed by the Chancellor following appropriate consultation with student groups and which are subsequently approved by the Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the Chancellor with the concurrence of the President. 3. Following extensive consultation with student groups on the Urbana-Champaign campus, the Chancellor has recommended with my concurrence that a referendum on that campus to select the method to be used for the 1973-74 and 1974-75 terms include the following propositions: The nonvoting student member of the Board of Trustees from the UrbanaChampaign campus of the University of Illinois shall be selected by the following method: — Proposition One: Elected through an at-large election following the usual student election procedures in effect on the Urbana-Champaign campus. — Proposition Two: Appointed by the combined steering committee of the UGSA and the executive committee of the GSA following the usual appointment procedures in effect on the Urbana-Champaign campus. — Proposition Three: Neither of the above. A more detailed list of alternatives should be made available. It is understood that the proposition receiving the most votes shall be the proposition selected.
