UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

(3) Duties and functions assigned to the vice president for administration with regard to affirmative action. I note for the record the inherent need of the president to assign administrative duties as may be required in the explicit definition of the responsibilities of the general officers of the University. This need is relevant now as the search process for the two new vice presidents is underway. I note as well, in accord with the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, that the president of the Board of Trustees, on recommendation of the president of the University, has indicated his intention to appoint Dr. Bazzani as comptroller, the general fiscal officer of the Board of Trustees, thus occupying the position which will become vacant on December 1, 1982. Dr. Bazzani will serve as comptroller until the next meeting of the Board of Trustees (in this case, the annual meeting, on January 20, 1983) — a t which time it is anticipated that the board will elect all officers to hold office until their successors are elected and qualified.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this appointment was approved.

Head, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, Chicago

(4) T h e chancellor at Chicago has recommended the appointment of Biljana Sljivic-Simsic, presently associate professor and acting head of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, as head of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures beginning January 1, 1983, on an academic year service basis at an annual salary of $29,850. Professor Sljivic-Simsic will continue to hold the rank of associate professor on indefinite tenure. She succeeds Professor Nicholas Moravcevich who resigned on October 3 1 , 1981, to accept the position of director of Campus Development. The nomination is made after consultation with the faculty of the department. T h e vice president for academic affairs concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this appointment was approved.
