BOARD OF TKUSTEES

[September 12

The budget has been reviewed and approved by the Chancellor at the UrbanaChampaign campus and the Vice President for Planning and Allocation. I recommend that this budget be approved and that the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association be authorized to make such changes and adjustments, including approval of new appointments and acceptance of resignations, as are necessary within the total income and surplus of the Association, provided that: appointments of head coaches and administrative officers and assignments of funds for new projects or nonrecurring capital expenditures in excess of $12,500 shall be presented to the Board of Trustees for approval. A copy of the budget is being filed with the Secretary of the Board of Trustees for record.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved and authority was given as requested.

REQUEST FOR OPERATING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FY 1 9 7 5

(4) The President of the University herewith submits the proposed request for appropriations for operations for the Fiscal Year 1975. The 1975 request envisions no increases in enrollment other than the planned expansion at the Medical Center. This is in keeping with informal recommendations of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, there being no formal IBHE guidelines for FY 1975. The budget is designed to maintain the existing programs of the University and to request adjustments to the eroded base budget of the University as demonstrated by analytical studies. The budget request has been prepared by the Vice President for Planning and Allocation, with the advice of the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination and the University Planning Committee,1 and after appropriate review by the Chancellors and the President. The request has also been reviewed and endorsed by the University Budget Committee.1 The submission date required by the Illinois Board of Higher Education (September 4, 1973) has necessitated the submission of preliminary requests prior to approval by the Board of Trustees. All such transmittals have been identified as "preliminary." The total budget request is $249,013,300, distributed by fund as follows, with comparative figures for FY 1974: FY 1974 FY 1975 Appropriations Increase Request Regular Operations General Revenue Fund $171 633 644 $22 431 056 $194 064 700 University Income Fund 24 918 000 258 400 25 176 400 Agricultural Premium F u n d . . . . 1 844 800 110 700 1 955 500 Subtotal ($198 396 444) ($22 800 156) ($221 196 600) Retirement Contributions General Revenue Fund 11 812 900 15 857 900 27 670 800 Agricultural Premium F u n d . . . . 113 200 32 700 145 900 Subtotal ($ 11 926 100) ($15 890 600) ($ 27 816 700) Total $210 322 544 $38 690 756 $249 013 300
