1977] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 245 The campus administration is of the opinion that the hearings and subsequent appeal will disrupt, and be divisive within, the department. Both the University and Mrs. Berkson are confident of the validity of their respective positions but recognize that major expenditures of time and money will be required to secure a final determination of responsibility. As a result, settlement negotiations have been conducted, and the University Counsel and the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus now recommend that all matters between the University and Mrs. Berkson be compromised and settled through the payment to her of $10,500. T h e Vice President for Academic Affairs supports the recommendation. Funds are available in the campus budget from sources other than state appropriations. Full releases and disclaimers of improper University action would be obtained, and all proceedings would be terminated. I concur in the recommendation. The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Cordon, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Volgman; no, none. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. There being no further business, the Board adjourned. EARL W. PORTER GEORGE W. HOWARD III Secretary President
