1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 373 Report from the Chancellor, Urbana Chancellor Aiken reported that the search for a vice chancellor for student affairs was continuing and that the campus had contracted with the executive search firm of A. T. Kearney to assist with this search. He noted that candidates for the position of dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts were currently being interviewed on campus. Further, Dr. Aiken told the board members that a search for a new dean of the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences had just been launched. He said that he thought this might be completed next spring. Report from the Chancellor, Springfield Chancellor Lynn reported that searches were underway at the Springfield campus for a vice chancellor for student affairs and a dean for the School of Public Affairs. Report from the Interim Chancellor, Chicago Dr. David C. Broski, interim chancellor at Chicago, indicated that the following searches were in process at the Chicago campus: vice chancellor for student affairs; dean, College of Urban Planning and Policy; dean, College of Nursing; and dean, Honors College. Dr. Broski also indicated that as soon as a vice chancellor for student affairs is hired, he will initiate a search for an athletic director. Report on Labor Relations Vice President Bazzani reported on the status of negotiations with the Illinois Nurses Association, stating that the talks were still centered on the topic of substantive issues, such as staffing levels and moving of nurses from one station to another, not on wage issues. Next, he told the trustees that talks with the AFSCME local that represents clerical employees at the Urbana campus were underway and that the wage proposals presented by the union and the University were not acceptable to either group. He then reviewed the status of negotiations with the University Professionals of Illinois, the group representing clerical workers at the Springfield campus. He indicated that negotiations were not proceeding because the union did not accept the wage settlement given salaries paid other groups at that campus. In order to consider any greater wage for this group the University was seeking relinquishment of certain non-wage benefits, such as extended sick leave days and a "personal leave" day. Report from University Counsel Authorization for Settlement (1) The university counsel recommends that the board approve settlement of the Paula Pereira workers' compensation claim in the amount of $174,648.11. Ms. Pereira
