Presentation, Distinguished Service Medallion to Avery Brundage

Mr. Forsyth, Chairman of the Medallion Committee, asked that the Board note with regret the death of Avery Brundage on May 7, 1975, and moved that the Trustees authorize the award of the medallion as presently scheduled at the Medical Center Commencement on June 6. The motion was approved unanimously. President Corbally stated that he understood that it would be possible for Mrs. Brundage to be present for the ceremony and to receive the award.

NEW BUSINESS

President Neal stated that it would be in order for the General Policy Committee to review the question of elected public officials who may receive appointments to teach at the University during the period of their service in office. Specifically, he suggested the Committee review the question as to whether such appointments should come to the Board of Trustees in advance, whether they should be reported to the Board as a procedural matter or handled in some other fashion.1

REGULAR AGENDA T h e Board considered the following reports and recommendations from the President of the University. Award of Certified Public Accountant Certificates

(1) The Committee on Accountancy, pursuant to Rule 16(d) of the Regulations, recommends that the certificate of Certified Public Accountant be awarded to nine candidates who wish to transfer the examination credit earned by passing the standard written examination in some other state and who have fulfilled all other legal requirements under Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943 as amended. The names of the candidates are filed with the Secretary. The Committee also recommends that the certificate of Certified Public Accountant be awarded, under Section 5 of the Illinois Accountancy Act of 1943, as amended, to seven candidates who have presented evidence that they are holders of valid and unrevoked Certified Public Accountant certificates obtained by passing a standard written examination in another state or territory of the United States and who qualify in all other respects under this provision of the law. The names of the candidates are filed with the Secretary. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Rader, these certificates were awarded.

This subject was considered by the General Policy Committee on June 17, 1975, and the consensus of the Committee, after study of the matter, was the University policy is clear, each appointment is an individual case based upon regular University standards and that no special or new procedures are needed.
