1976] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 541 visor. T h e University was further advised that if conciliation efforts were not successful, final enforcement proceedings would be initiated which, if determined adversely to the University, would result in withdrawal and suspension of Federal funding a t the Medical Center campus (presently estimated at approximately $15 million annually). HEW's Washington Office originally indicated that it would approve a settlement which would result in a payment of $51,500 and the restoration of Mr. Bhalla to a status position. As a result of further negotiations involving H E W , the University, and Mr. Bhalla, it is now proposed to settle the contested matter on the basis of a payment to Mr. Bhalla of $37,175. Mr. Bhalla will resign from his status position, will withdraw all pending complaints with State and Federal agencies, will agree to the dismissal and settlement of all pending discharge and grievance proceedings, including those at the arbitration stage, and will execute a general release in favor of the University covering all matters other than those incorporated in the settlement agreement. I n addition, Mr. Bhalla will be given a new appointment as a Data Processing Analyst I I and begin a new probationary period as of March 1, 1976. During the new probationary period the University will also provide a refresher course for Mr. Bhalla. Mr. Bhalla will be evaluated periodically during the new probationary period and, if terminated at the end thereof, the University will offer him a further three-month part-time appointment in a nonstatus position while he seeks other employment. H E W has indicated its support of the proposed settlement and its willingness to terminate proceedings if the University offers the same to Mr. Bhalla.
