1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 403 Sciences was underway. Next, he reported that the search for a dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts was nearing a conclusion. He also indicated that a renewed search for a vice chancellor for student affairs was progressing. Also, he reported that there had been an allegation made by a faculty member that she had been sexually assaulted by another faculty member. The chancellor indicated that he had no more information than the fact of the allegation. Report from the Interim Chancellor, Chicago Dr. David C. Broski, interim chancellor at Chicago, reported that there were several searches for deans at the Chicago campus, but none had progressed to the stage that would provide for very much discussion at this time. He also noted that the search for a vice chancellor for student affairs continued. Dr. Broski also told the trustees that when this particular search is concluded, it will then be timely to initiate a search for an athletic director for the Chicago campus, providing the study of athletics being carried out by the Illinois Board of Higher Education is complete by that time. Otherwise the search for an athletic director might wait until the IBHE's study results are available. Report from the Chancellor, Springfield Dr. Naomi Lynn reported that there were searches underway for vice chancellor for student affairs at the Springfield campus and for dean of public affairs as well. Report on Labor Relations Matters Vice President Bazzani reported on the status of negotiations with several unions, including the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Illinois Nurses Association (INA), and the University Professionals of Illinois (representing the clerical unit at Springfield). Dr. Bazzani also noted that the tenor of negotiations this year is better than last year. He discussed the issues in each case which included salary and wage issues, staffing, and length of contracts. Dr. Bazzani promised the board that he would bring reports to them at each board meeting on the status of negotiations with unions and more often if there were developments that were notable. The board members asked for as much information as possible concerning labor union negotiations, and on a regular basis. Report from Legal Counsel, Tully Case Mr. Higgins reported on the court opinion issued this week that concluded that Public Act 89-5, which calls for trustees of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees to be appointed, effective January 1996, was unconstitutional.
