1992] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 461 Report from the Chancellor at Chicago Dr. Stukel reported on the progress of searches for major administrative positions at the Chicago campus. He noted that the search for a vice chancellor for student affairs has produced four candidates: three external and one internal. He also reported that the search for the vice chancellor for academic affairs was progressing. Advertisements for that position have been posted and applications are being received. Next, Mrs. Gravenhorst asked Dr. Stukel what was planned regarding Mr. Riley's position as director of the University Hospital. Dr. Stukel explained that he had met with Mr. Riley and explained the concerns of the board about his leadership and that he had agreed to discuss Mr. Riley's work and contributions with others suggested by Mr. Riley. Report from Chancellor at Urbana Dr. Weir briefed the board on the status of searches at the UrbanaChampaign campus. For the vice chancellor for research, he noted that six candidates have been interviewed and that the search committee would reduce this list to fewer candidates soon. He reported that the search for a dean of the College of Communications had been initiated and that advertisements had been posted. Further, he noted that the search for a dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration was on schedule and that candidates would be interviewed very soon. Next, Dr. Weir stated that the search for a director of athletics had just started and that interviews would be scheduled in a few months. In closing, the chancellor informed the board that there would be a search for a new dean of the College of Law, as Dean Schmallbeck had just announced his intent to resign. Dr. Weir also told the board that two other deans had received attractive offers from other institutions and if they accepted these there would be additional searches. Meningitis Cases at Urbana Chancellor Weir commented on the occurrence of some recent cases of meningitis at the Urbana campus. He indicated that these had been treated early and that the students had recovered. He reported on discussions with the Centers for Disease Control and said that this group was confounded by the occurrences and noted that the outbreak was abberant. The cases at Urbana span two years, which is unusual. At present the campus is conducting intensive interviews with students, trying to find a common link in the transference of the disease. The chancellor told the board members he would keep them informed as new facts are discovered.
