Report from the Vice President for Administration Concerning the Provision of Housing in Chicago for the President of the University (See also minutes of Executive Session of June 16,1976) This subject was discussed at the June meeting, but was reviewed again inasmuch as three members of the Board were absent from that meeting. Mr. Neal asked Vice President Brady to summarize the proposal (described in detail in the minutes of the J u n e 16 meeting), and the Trustees again discussed it, indicating general support for the idea, although again there were expressions of reservation (from Mrs. Shepherd and others) concerning the timing and public interpretation of the proposal. Although no action by the Board of Trustees is necessary or requested, Mr. Brady stated that the University of Illinois Foundation would not want to act without knowledge of a consensus of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Neal indicated his interpretation of the discussion to be that a consensus of the Board was supportive of the action to be recommended to the Foundation. OPEN MEETING RECONVENED Purchases (43) The President submitted, with his concurrence, a list of purchases recommended by the Directors of Purchases and the Vice President for Administration.

The list of purchases was presented in two categories: purchases from appropriated funds (i.e., from State appropriations to the University) and purchases from institutional funds. The latter term designates funds received by the University under contracts with the United States government, private corporations, and other organizations; grants from foundations, corporations, and other donors; and University revolving funds authorized by law.
