BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[March 19

Mr. Gosgrove asked that the Board hear from Miss Kristin Lems, a graduate student at the Urbana-Champaign campus, in support of the resolution. She stated that Mr. Lenz's resolution did not provide for student involvement in the tenure study and that it was inappropriate for the President of the University to direct such a study; that the nonreappointment of Professor Byars represented an exemplary instance of deficiencies in the tenure system and should be treated specifically by the Board of Trustees. A number of Trustees thereupon made comments in support of the Lenz resolution or asked questions with regard to tenure procedures. T h e President of the Board then called for the vote on the substitute (Cosgrove) resolution and the vote was as follows: Aye, none; no, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , M r . Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; absent, Governor Walker. M r . Cosgrove then moved another substitute resolution, to delete in the fourth paragraph of the Lenz resolution the reference to the President of the University and to substitute therefor "the Board of Trustees' Committee on Student Welfare and Activities." I n the course of discussion on this motion, President Neal ruled (and M r . Lenz agreed) that it was the sense of the Board that the Student Welfare and Activities Committee would, with others, have the opportunity to contribute to the tenure study. Mr. Cosgrove withdrew the substitute motion, and the Board voted upon the Lenz motion as follows: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Walker.
