1. Approval of faculty meeting minutes of April 23, 2008
There wasn’t a quorum, so minutes could not be approved.
2. Introductions of New Faculty Members
There were no new faculty members.
3. Committee Reports
Chris gave the report in Paula Kaufman’s absence.
The BOT meets on July 24 to approve the University budget. Rod Allen will get the final budget figures after that. We don’t know yet whether we have to give back the rescission money. If we don’t , we will apply it to the rescission requirement in the upcoming budget year. We expect our tax liability to be higher next year.
The Library submitted a request to the Provost’s Advisory Committee in charge of the fee money.
We received approval for the new air handler for RBML. It is slated to be completed by 2010. Jeff Schrader will be coordinating the work.

for the latest approved, final minutes.
4. Zero Time Appointment for Patricia Miller, Executive Director of the Illinois
Heritage Association - Chris Prom
Searing questioned if we would have any financial obligation to her if her faculty position
ended with the Illinois Heritage Association. We would have not financial obligation. Miller has
contributed to many Library grants and it was felt that going ahead with this appointment would
facilitate collegiality.
5. Bylaws Committee - Al Kagan and Mary Mallory
Al read the proposal. He feels it is timely as we’ve started planning for implementing the
NSM. This would guarantee another level of clarity. The form by which advice is given would be by
vote. The change in bylaws would be in conformance with University regulations in the Senate.
There was no quorum, so a vote could not be taken. If you have any questions contact the
Bylaws committee.
6. Old business
None.
7. New business
None.
8. Announcements
Claudia Alcala Iniguez will be leaving the Library for a new job in Iowa. There will be a reception on July 24 in Modern Languages.
