BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 12

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. Interpretation of the University Statutes President Corbally observed that there had been discussion at the U r b a n a campus concerning an amendment of the Statutes approved by the board in July 1977 and a question as to whether or not the amendment made "designated student representatives" eligible to vote with the faculty of a college. H e noted that the president of the University was expected to interpret the Statutes and expressed his view that the amendment of 1977 in no way affected the preexisting text of the Statutes which did not provide for students or their representatives to vote with the faculty of a college. Mr. Howard indicated that he too had reviewed the Statutes and was in agreement with the president's interpretation. (The amendment was to Article I I I , Section 2b, of the Statutes.)
