UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

Robert Norton Parker, Chief Accountant for the Urbana-Champaign campus {who now functions in that capacity as well as University Chief Accountant — without title) become the University Chief Accountant and Manager of the University Financial Data System for the Vice President. Morris S. Kessler, presently Assistant Vice President for Financial Affairs, become the Assistant Vice President for Planning and Allocation, [n addition, he is Assistant Comptroller. The officers identified above will assume major administrative responsibilities for their areas of concern and will focus upon the development and operation of the University system of business management. These represent minimal alterations in the present organization. They are designed to provide an opportunity to maintain current operations while moving to develop such University-witle systems as are needed. It should be emphasized that the flexibility provided is considered to be a first step, rather than a final answer; that the general University and campus relationships are under continual review and will be appraised further over the next several months. I recommend approval of the proposed changes in title and assignments as identified above.

On motion of Mr. Howard, these recommendations were approved.
