\"If you have compassion, empathy, and a sense of decency, you'll understand that you need to act to ensure that hostility faced by Jewish students does not continue,\" said Matan Milotic, a student at Urbana studying economics, who described what he said were campaign violations, anti‑Jewish flyers and an administrator's dismissive email when he sought intervention.

Milotic told the trustees he emailed Student Affairs leadership about apparent violations during a student election campaign and received an email from an associate vice chancellor that, Milotic said, \"dismissed my concerns, ignored obvious violations, and insulted me for daring to ask the university to enforce their own rules.\" He said the experience made him unable to concentrate in class and led him to plan to graduate in August instead of earlier.

Another student, Mark Ruse, a rising junior at Urbana, said the campus climate had grown threatening over the past year and referenced the killing outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., to underline safety concerns. He called on the board to \"recommit\" to an agreement the university signed with the Jewish community and the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which he said pledged support for Jewish students and Title VI protections.

Sharon Ormsby Shelley, speaking on behalf of Clarence Shelley's family and alumni communities, asked the trustees to materially honor Clarence Shelley’s legacy. Her remarks focused on memorialization and scholarship support rather than the campus-safety allegations raised by the students.

Chair Ruiz acknowledged the comments and said the allegations described by Milotic had been brought to the board's attention previously and were under review.

No formal board action or vote followed the public comments during the meeting; the board record shows the remarks were made during the public-comment period and that trustees said they would review the matters raised.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","University of Illinois Board of Trustees Meeting (May 22, 2025)","oneSentenceSummary","Two students and an alumna's family representative told the University of Illinois Board of Trustees that Jewish students have faced harassment during a student referendum and protests and urged trustees to enforce the university's commitments to student safety and civil-rights protections.","taxTitle","University of Illinois Board of Trustees, U, Boards and Commissions, Executive, Illinois","taxId",54117,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6210129,"University Senate urges renewed consultation, empathy in shared governance",590,2741000,3331000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3724076-994351815397dcffae7f74bf7cd6094f&start=2741&end=3331","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3724076-994351815397dcffae7f74bf7cd6094f/thumbnail_2741000.jpg","/articles/6210129/Illinois/University-Senate-urges-renewed-consultation-empathy-in-shared-governance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210129-55f977c159ec241be29708a77b690739/orig.mp4?Expires=1771028863&Signature=SXzm9pAGzAFgz5s8D~3mpQaR417MiD5v3bl~FVQHHGHfdrA0ERmPhkC-eyO3QgN1QPZrQMeBmd2xTFyxr2ZXwMe-VqtsXNxScm6FZDpWZu3f99Ui3z8aBtoPMnKZjcMXJRV-15XFQVCvpejbhmf3JA1lu3hWPxMauBrw14FqUzAY6jtxd1dO4Qb9aGS1TX7IkQm5oEogv6zldzlcOtfnRFwVxla12RuIZtA2cfY5tQ2atsTj4WTbp4~3Nb3DJTyrSEojLHet-dcJ1gHT2XbR8mDIejivAeZx~uGKsX-teOh8pRzHg~HXI8u4ImH05yGZU1NG1VU4ER13O5ldNZB5Pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Joyce Tolliver, associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Urbana and a longtime member of the University Senate's Conference, told the Board of Trustees on May 2025 that shared governance nationwide is under strain and that the University of Illinois system should double down on collaboration.

\"The core of healthy shared governance is a mutual commitment to understand and honor each other's perspectives and concerns,\" Tolliver said, urging continued consultation among faculty, administrators and trustees.

Tolliver framed the problem as systemic, not personal: shared governance requires both clarity about who decides which matters and routine, structured opportunities for input. She said USC (the University Senate's Conference) meets 10 times a year, typically with wide administrative participation, and that these regular talks helped build the trust needed to resolve disputes.

Tolliver warned against an \"us versus them\" mindset. She cited national reporting of campus conflicts and said that when faculty or administrators resort to demonizing language, the institution loses the habit of staying at the table to work through competing priorities.

She described the AAUP-era arrangement that leaves academic matters primarily to faculty and fiduciary and external-relations matters to administrators and the board, but stressed that in practice the domains overlap and require shared processes. \"Trust moves at the speed of collaboration,\" Tolliver said, quoting Chancellor Robert J. Jones; she added that the inverse — distrust — moves at the speed of disengagement.

Tolliver asked the board to resume regular conversations between trustees and USC members, a practice she said had existed prior to the COVID pandemic. She concluded by offering the conference's willingness to continue those exchanges and to consult on policies that clarify when the board, the president and faculty should act independently and when they should seek joint input.

The presentation was delivered during the open meeting; it was a report and not the subject of a board vote or formal action.

The board did not take immediate action on specific governance proposals during the session, but trustees and meeting packets were encouraged to use the conference's recommendations as a basis for future consultation.","The University Senate's Conference told the University of Illinois Board of Trustees that healthy shared governance depends on regular consultation, mutual respect and designed processes — urging trustees and administrators to resist adversarial postures during heightened public pressure on campuses.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6210110,"Board approves U‑Pass Plus transportation fee extension for UIC; trustees hail student advocacy",287,6395000,6682000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3724076-994351815397dcffae7f74bf7cd6094f&start=6395&end=6682","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3724076-994351815397dcffae7f74bf7cd6094f/thumbnail_6395000.jpg","/articles/6210110/Illinois/Board-approves-UPass-Plus-transportation-fee-extension-for-UIC-trustees-hail-student-advocacy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210110-99249e73c447b420d78add2481be3a74/orig.mp4?Expires=1771028863&Signature=n2XGWf~W5U~Gk~wco9PpyWfFg6Jg60HvzsPNbMetVj6x9q8~esca9HKXbVhV2lfVl-TiIpZiCLaAEFOLirdlc8Dcn1h9Mz~-ukJtmhJ3Ub~kceNbi-YdOFEvfTOhuzRKUGPUtYSFS5Ll26ZOEMudg3~JwYB5AL3UkdoY0L3wfHSet4MZaFkbq-sYiBOQwDejVpQjSk27w07UVRbfsFo6lTWgzHjcOmicreQnf1pQEotzEwCWxglhi4QY~-KihsqYnkCt303PjqITPGwvU26xKp3H3gYyxwipCwhju70JFt3aE9W8r-E7-EdbPv9x3jXG80D0DaBpgyu2W1AvkAx-5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Trustees approved the 2025–26 Chicago transportation fee, which includes a five-year extension of the Metro U‑Pass Plus program at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Trustee Quinn Basta, speaking during the voice-vote agenda, highlighted the program's early uptake and student advocacy that led to the agreement. \"This is the first discounted rate with Metro for any institution in Chicago and it has had significant success at UIC,\" Basta said, citing 4,300 students enrolled in the first semester and about 4,500 the next semester.

Basta told trustees the initiative was the result of more than a decade of student organizing and noted it was saving students money, calling the five-year extension \"remarkable.\" The transportation fee was item 12 on the voice-vote agenda; the package of voice-vote items was approved by voice vote.

The board conducted a roll-call vote on both items. The record shows trustees voted \"yes to both\" on the package; the chair announced the motion carries. No further business was discussed and the meeting was adjourned.

The items were forwarded from the governance, personnel and ethics committee, and the action was recorded as approval of the minutes and appointment of a director.

Chair Ruiz read a proposed resolution honoring Robert J. Jones for directing the university through the sesquicentennial celebration, pandemic response and other achievements. Trustees then discussed the resolution and offered personal remarks. Trustees from across the system praised Jones's leadership style and impact on students, faculty and the community.

Trustees spoke about Jones's record of expanding enrollment, increasing research expenditures, advancing the Illinois Commitment financial-aid program and launching the Illinois-based engineering medical college. Several trustees emphasized his personal leadership qualities: \"You lead with integrity, you lead with grace,\" Trustee Blackwell said.

The resolution was included on the voice-vote agenda. The board approved the regular voice-vote package by voice vote; the meeting record states \"the ayes have it\" and lists the items as approved.

No substantive policy change or budgetary item was attached to the resolution; it is a formal expression of appreciation and recognition from the board.
