482 BOARD O F TRUSTEES [December 14 BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY President's Reports President Corbally presented a report on selected topics of current interest, copies of which were distributed at the meeting, and a copy was filed with the secretary of the board. University Operating Budget Request for Fiscal Year (FY) 1979 President Corbally reported that the Illinois Board of Higher Education would consider its budget recommendations in January. H e indicated that he expected there would be a recommendation regarding tuition, adding that he himself would be presenting to the trustees a recommendation concerning tuition at the University of Illinois in January. However, action would not be anticipated before February or possibly March. Acceptance of Federal Capitation Funds, Medical Center 1 Chancellor Begando reported that amended legislation on this subject had now passed both houses of Congress and was awaiting signature by the president. It appears that institutional autonomy in the selection of students under this program would be restored, although a complete analysis of the new legislation has not been completed. It was made clear that, if the legislation is satisfactory and based on a favorable economic analysis, the University might apply for the capitation grants. T h e question of the involvement of the Board of Trustees in this judgment was again raised. T h e president expressed his belief that the matter was analogous to routine judgments made administratively concerning acceptance of outside money. H e emphasized that, in this instance, there would be no change in policy, simply a change in federal regulations that would conform to existing, and preexisting, University policy. H e pointed out that the deadline for application might make it essential that the application be made promptly. REGULAR AGENDA T h e board considered the following reports and recommendations from the president of the University.
