of Trustees with the advice of a joint committee of the
Board, faculty, and student body. The committee shall
consist of five members of the Board appointed by its
chairman; three members of the full-time teaching and/or
research faculty of the University System, selected by a
procedure determined by the University Senate; one member
of the full-time teaching faculty of the Community College
System, selected by a procedure determined by the Community
College Council; and one full-time student appointed by
the chairman of the Board. The committee shall provide
opportunity for discussion between representative adminis-
trative, faculty, and student groups and prospective
presidential candidates.

The Chairman stated that the purpose of the meeting was to start the
Senate process for selecting the six full-time teaching and research faculty
of the University system. The objective was to have a slate of six nomina—
tions which will be used in a mail balloting to the entire faculty of the
