BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 18

For purposes of determining payments for a fractional year of academic service, the academic year at the Chicago Circle and Medical Center campuses is defined as September 16 through June 15, and the academic year at the UrbanaChampaign campus is defined as August 21 through May 20. T h e budget has been prepared by the Vice President for Planning and Allocation, based upon recommendations of: (a) the University Planning Council; (b) the chancellors at the three campuses (after consultation with their respective deans, directors, and other campus officers); and (c) the President of the University. T h e allocation of funds follows general policies and priorities developed by these reviews and was recommended by the University Budget Committee. 1 Submitted herewith are two budget documents,* the first of which contains: (a) a condensed analysis, which outlines the income anticipated for Fiscal Year 1975 and describes the major changes in the budget; (b) schedules A through D, which contain summaries of income and appropriations for the entire University and budget totals by major categories for each campus, with comparative figures for the prior fiscal year; and (c) summaries for each college or other major administrative unit. Also submitted is a separate volume* presenting budget details for departments, divisions, and other operating units. I recommend that this budget, covering the allocation of the estimated operating income from all sources for the year beginning July 1, 1974, be approved by the Board of Trustees, 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 appointments as are necessary subject to the provisions of the University of Illinois Statutes and the Policy and Rules — Nonacademic; and (c) to make such changes and adjustments in items included in the budget as are needed, such changes to be covered in periodic reports to the Board of Trustees.

O n motion of M r . Forsyth, the budget was approved and authority was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, M r . Hughes, M r . Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Steger, M r . Swain; no, n o n e ; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Walker. (Mr. Forsyth voted "Aye," with the stipulation that he believed the University should not seek an additional $204,000 for utilities — an estimate presented in a summary document.)
