2 BOARD OF TRUSTEES officers of the Board, Dr. Ronald W. Brady, Comptroller (also Vice President for Administration for the University); M r . James J. Costello, University Counsel; Mr. R. R. Manchester, Treasurer; and Dr. Earl W. Porter, Secretary. T h e meeting of the Board as a Committee of the Whole was called to receive from the administrative officers a preliminary presentation of the capital and operating budget requests for fiscal year (FY) 1978. T h e preliminary request was presented in written form in the document, "Preliminary Budget Analysis for Operating and Capital Funds, Fiscal Year 1978," 1 and by means of graphs and other visual materials. Vice President Brady and his staff presented a general outline of the request and its justification and received questions from members of the Board. In the course of discussion, considerable attention was devoted to the timing of such presentations to the Board and the various constraints bearing upon the University in preparing documents to meet Board of Higher Education deadlines and, at the same time, provide sufficient time for members of the Board of Trustees to become familiar with the subject. President Corbally noted that an additional constraint was the delay in legislative action upon the 1977 budget and its effect upon planning for 1978. He emphasized that the materials submitted are tentative, that nothing in the documents is beyond change, and that the Trustees would have a further opportunity to consider the recommendations in September. I t was agreed that a similar meeting of the committee would be scheduled prior to the September meeting of the Board and that, in addition, special sessions (for those Trustees able to attend) would be scheduled in Chicago and in Urbana in the next few weeks to enable the staff to provide the full visual presentation as prepared. There being no further business, the Committee adjourned. EARL W. PORTER EARL L. N E A L Secretary President 1 A copy of this document is filed with the Secretary of the Board.
