       B.    Presidential Search Committee Announced

       Mr. Ockerman informed the Board that the presidential search would
be conducted as it had been in past years. He read the following section
in the Governing Regulations that relates to the appointment of a
President for the University:

       "The President of the University is appointed by the Board 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 administrative,
       faculty, and student groups and prospective presidential
       candidates."

       He reminded the Board that it would be a nationwide search and
that the responsibility for selecting a president rests with the Board.

       Before announcing his appointments to the Presidential Search
Committee, Mr. Ockerman explained that it is not possible to appoint
every Board member to the Committee because it would be contrary to the
Governing Regulations. He emphasized that every Board member would have
the right to cast one vote for whomever is put before the Board in due
course of time. He announced the membership of the Presidential Search
Committee.
