Designation of University Member of the Higher Education Travel Control Board (19) T h e Governor has signed into law Public Act 79-874 which amends certain sections of, and adds new sections to, the State Finance Act relating to travel control boards. The new act creates three travel control boards to replace the single board previously authorized. One of the new boards is a Higher Education Travel Control Board consisting of six members, one to be appointed by each of the following: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities, the Board of Regents of Regency Universities, the Illinois Community College Board, and the Illinois Board of Higher Education. According to the act, members of the Higher Education Travel Control Board will be employees or members of the Boards making the appointments of employees of the institution governed or maintained by the Boards. Members may each designate a deputy to serve at any meeting of the Board. I recommend that the member of the University of Illinois on the Higher Education Travel Control Board be Vice President Ronald W. Brady. On motion of M r . Howard, this recommendation was approved.
