The University of Illinois Board of Trustees convened a short meeting as the sole member of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park LLC (IQMP) and approved two items that had been forwarded from the governance, personnel and ethics committee.
Secretary Jeffrey Stein read the two items: approval of meeting minutes for the IQMP board-of-trustees session and the appointment of a member to the IQMP board of managers. Trustee Craig Schilling moved approval and Trustee Millhouse seconded. With no discussion, trustees approved the items by voice vote.
Why this matters: The IQMP is described in the board record as a university-related organization established to operate a quantum science facility in the Chicago area that serves as a proving ground for quantum computing and microelectronics. Approvals in the sole-member session are administrative steps to maintain the park's governance and ensure board seats are filled.
What the record shows: The short open meeting began with roll call, the items were read aloud by the secretary, moved and seconded, and approved without debate. No additional policy or financial decisions were made in the open portion of the IQMP session; the record notes both items had been reviewed by the governance committee the previous day.
Next steps: The board's action keeps IQMP governance current; any further operational or financial decisions will be considered as separate items and will appear on future agendas as appropriate.
