RESOLUTION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Vanes at its Meeting at SHE 9/16/69
The Executive Committee hereby resolves as follows:

1) The Executive Committee has read and noted the letter from Mr. Albert

. Vaan addressed to Or, Burkhardt and the reply from Dr. Burkhardt to Mr. Vann.

2) Since the leadership of the Coalition has declined to accept the
principle of choosing a president mutually acceptable to the Negotiating Team

(reflecting the view of the community) and the Board Comnittee (reflecting the

' view of the Board) and since the only name continuously being presented and

| insisted upon by that leadership has been, and is hereby reaffirmed as boing

entirely unacceptable to the Board, a complete impasse is found to exist.

Since further efforts along the same lines by the same groupings could only

lead to a further exacerbation of relationships, the Executive Comnittee resolves

that the Board's Presidential Search and Planning Committee for CC # 7 be and is
hereby discharged and dissolved, with appropriate thanks.
The Executive Committee extends the appreciation of the Board for the tine,

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 CC # 7.

The Executive Committee further resolves that the Chairman of the Board is

nals 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 CC # 7 in accordance with the creative concepts alveady

| developed.

.is further resolved that the Chancellor be instructed to proceed ex=

- peditiously to accelerate action on the projected college, under the direction

of the Committee appropriately designated by the Board Chairman, so that the


| college may be opened at the earliest possible date,

After the passage of the above resolution, the Chairman of the Board

designated the Executive Commi ttes to carry on the functions of planning and

search for a president for Community College # 7.
