BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 20

lected annually from students and alumni. With the waiver of the transcript charge, there will be improved efficiency in responding to transcript requests, and relations with alumni should be improved. (On July 21, 1976, die Board of Trustees approved a request from the Chicago Circle campus to waive the $1 fee assessed to students and alumni for issuance of transcripts.) The chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the transcript fee at the Medical Center be waived and that the following policy statement be adopted effective September 1, 1977. Each student or alumnus of the Medical Center who has paid all outstanding indebtedness is entitled to receive without charge transcripts of his or her record.1 The vice president for administration concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Neal, these recommendations were approved.

1977-78 Allocation of Student Service Fee for Bonded Indebtedness, Chicago Circle

(24) On March 23, 1977, the Board of Trustees approved the construction of Parking Structure # 2 at the Chicago Circle campus and on June 15, 1977, the employment of the law firm of Chapman and Cutler of Chicago to act as bond counsel for the University in connection with the issuance of the revenue bonds to finance construction of the structure. The bond counsel has advised the University that the allocation of the service fee for debt service for 1977-78 should be approved by the board prior to the release of the Notice, of Sale of Revenue Bonds to investment firms, scheduled for September 8, 1977. The chancellor and the vice president for administration therefore recommend that 66.71 percent of the student service fees for 1977-78 be allocated to the Chicago Circle Center for debt service. This distribution would provide for a debt service allocation of $31.35 out of the $47.00 quarterly service fee assessed a fulltime student for FY 1978. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . Livingston, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s approved.

Contract with Academic Press, Inc.

(25) Academic Press, Inc., has indicated a willingness to publish the proceedings •of a Conference on High Speed Computer and Algorithm Organization held in Urbana, April 13-15, 1977. The conference was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The chancellor at Urbana-Champaign has recommended the execution of a contract with Academic Press under which the published proceedings would be copyrighted in the name of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, and the University would grant to the publisher an exclusive royalty-free license (except as to the U.S. government) to publish and market the work. In accordance with the terms of the NSF agreement for support of the conference, the contract with Academic Press would be subject to a nonexclusive royalty-free license being granted to the U.S. government for government purposes. Academic Press would -assume the total costs of publication. The vice president for administration concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved.

The present policy reads: "Each student who has paid all hi* University feci is entitled to receive without charge one transcript of his record. For each additional transcript, the fee is SI."
