BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 20

the authority delegated to the President by the Board of Trustees. The general intent is not to seek Board approval of the mechanics of the operation of the Committee and it would be assumed that changes in structure and procedure could be accomplished by joint agreement of the Committee and the President. Report Concerning the Operation of the Conduct Control Systems on the Campuses of the University of Illinois, 1971-72 In accord with the action of the Board of Trustees on January 19, 1972, the President submitted in advance of the meeting an annual report concerning the operations of the conduct control system during the preceding academic year. (The report was summarized by the President.) A copy is filed with the Secretary for record. Illinois Educational Consortium for Computer Services President Corbally also spoke briefly concerning the establishment and incorporation of the Illinois Educational Consortium for Computer Services.

A N N U A L OPERATING BUDGET FOR 1 9 7 2 - 7 3

(1) The budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1972, is submitted herewith, including recommendations for: (a) academic and administrative appointments beginning September 1, 1972, with salary increases effective November 1, 1972; and (b) appointments to the nonacademic personnel staff beginning July 1, 1972, with salary increases effective September 1, 1972. Authorization to pay salaries and wages for nonacademic and academic personnel for the month of July and subsequent payrolls prior to this action was granted by the Board of Trustees on July 19, 1972. The funds appropriated by the Seventy-seventh General Assembly to the University of Illinois for all purposes for FY 1973 are summarized, with comparative figures for FY 1972. The budget has been prepared by the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President and Comptroller, based upon recommendations of: (a) the chancellors at the three campuses (after consultation with their respective deans, directors, and other campus administrative officers); (b) general University officers concerning the budget for University-wide offices; and (c) the President of the University. The allocation of funds follows general policies and assignments recommended by the University Budget Committee1 during the preparation of the University's FY 1973 budget. Submitted herewith is the budget document3 containing: (a) a Condensed Analysis, which outlines the income anticipated for fiscal year 1973 and describes the changes in the budget; (b) Schedules A through I, which contain summaries of income and appropriations for the entire University and budget totals by major categories for each campus; and (c) summaries for each college or other major administrative unit. Also submitted are four supplemental volumes (two for Urbana-Champaign and General University Units, and one each for the other two campuses) presenting budget details for departments, divisions, and other operating units. As previously reported to the Board of Trustees, the necessity of providing faculty salary increases equivalent to those provided other staff and administrative employees and some uncertainties regarding income estimates led to the imposition of a partial "freeze" on new appointments to the University payrolls. This partial "freeze" continues under the direction of the Vice President for Planning and Allocation working in concert with the chancellors. I recommend that this budget, covering the allocation of the estimated operating income from all sources for the year beginning July 1, 1972, be approved by the Board, and that the President of the University be authorized in accordance with the needs of the University and the equitable interests involved, and within total income as it accrues: (a) to accept resignations; (b) to make such additional
