He also announced that the Board had received the report of the University Administrative Council which was to be submitted by June 30, 1971. The Chair then recognized Mr. Elliott, who moved the following resolution: \ 1 2 Board of Trustees/Southern Illinois University ADMINISTRATIVE REORGANIZATION The Board on August 3, 1970, designated September 1, 1970, through August 31, 1971, as a transitional period for reorganization of the administration of the University; substantial progress has been made but reorganization is not yet complete. However, through the excellent work of the University Administrative Council, it appears that the picture has sufficiently cleared for new and decisive steps to be taken. The following resolution is therefore recommended for adop tion at this time: RESOLUTION Be it Resolved by the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University in reg ular meeting assembled, That commencing September 1, 1971: 1. The Chief Administrative Authority of the University shall be vested in the President of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale for all units and functions which shall at that time be under the jurisdiction of the Chancellor of the Carbondale Campus, and shall be vested in the President of Southern Illi nois University at Edwardsville for all units and functions which shall at that time be under the jurisdiction of the Chancellor of the Edwardsville Campus; each such President shall report directly to this Board on all matters of direct concern to his respective University, and his responsibilities shall include but not be limited to all his University’s academic, business and student affairs, public services and relations, and internal self-governance structures, and Be it further Resolved, That commencing September 1, 1971: 1. The period for decentralization of units and functions shall be extended for the minimum period required for the attainment of the operational au tonomy of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, but not in any event to exceed the period ending December 30, 1971. 2. For coordination of decentralization, there is hereby constituted a De centralization Committee to be comprised of the two System Vice-Presidents, the two University Presidents, and the Chief of Board Staff. The Chief of Board Staff shall serve as presiding and convening officer without vote and shall report to this Board on Committee recommendations; since each Com mittee member reports directly to this Board, an automatic channel for minor ity or individual dissents is provided hereby. 3. Until decentralization is complete, the System Vice-Presidents shall as sume the duty of evolving recommendations to the Decentralization Committee for such completion, will maintain operational control of all units and func tions not yet decentralized, and will report directly to this Board. 4. The University Administrative Council’s present administrative authority having been vested in the Presidents, and its decentralization responsibilities having been vested in the System Vice-Presidents and the Decentralization Committee, this body shall be dissolved as of the above date, and Be it further Resolved, That this resolution shall constitute the required Notice of all amendments of Board Legislation required, implied or suggested by the above resolves. The motion was duly seconded and, there being no further discussion, after a voice vote the Chair declared the motion to have passed. The Chair recognized Mr. Elliott, who stated that the Chancellor Selec tion Committee met at 9:15 a .m ., July 16, 1971, and adopted a resolution creating a Chancellor Selection Advisory Council. In view of the resolu tion on Administrative Reorganization, the terminology was changed to President of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale rather than July 16, 1971 3 Chancellor. For the information of the Board, Mr. Elliott read the resolu tion adopted. (N o t e : For the record, the revised resolution is included in these Minutes.)
