The Executive Committee hereby resolves as follows: eae

1) The Executive Committee has read and noted the letter from Mr.
Albert Vann addressed to Dr. Burkhardt and the. epty from Dr. Burkhardt

to Mr. Vann.

2) Since the a de of the Coalition Bas declined to accept the
principle of choosing a president mutually acceptable to the Negotiating
Team (reflecting the view of the communi ty) and the Board Committee
(reflecting the view of the Board) and since the only name continuously
being presented and insisted upon by that leadership has been, and is

impasse is found to exist.

only jead to a further exacerbation of relationships, the Executive

_ Committee resolves that the Board's Presidential Search and Planning

Committee for Community College Number Seven be and is hereby discharged
and dissolved, with appropriate thanks.

The Executive Committee extends the appreciation of the Board for the
time, energy and efforts devoted by members of the Negotiating Team, and
of the Coalition, during the.many months of meeting and deliberations with
the Board's Presidential Search and Planning Committee for Community
College Number Seven.

The Executive Committee further resolves that the Chairman of the Board is
requested to designate the Executive Committee itself to sponsor and -
direct such further efforts as should and might be made to effectuate and
expedite the plans for the establishment of Community College Number Seven
in accordance with the creative concepts already developed.

It is further resolved that the Chancellor be instructed to proceed
expeditiously to accelerate action on the projected college, under the
