he was appointed interim vice chancellor for academic affairs and after a national search was appointed vice chancellor for academic affairs in the spring of 1992. Two years later, his title was changed to provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. On August 1, 1995, he was appointed interim chancellor. Prior to his appointments at the Chicago campus, Dr. Broski served as a faculty member and administrator at The Ohio State University. Preceding this he served as a graduate fellow and instructor at Michigan State University. The search for a chancellor at UIC has been led by the Search Committee to Advise the President on the Appointment of a Chancellor, UIC.1 This committee was composed of eleven faculty members, two deans, two academic professional staff members, one support staff member, one graduate student, and one undergraduate student. I am pleased to recommend to you the appointment of David C. Broski as chancellor of the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois.

On motion of Ms. Reese, this appointment was approved. President Stukel spoke to this item saying that in looking for a chancellor, a president looks for a record of leadership. He then cited Dr. Broski's work as dean of the College of Associated Health Professions in directing the changes that eventually placed that college in the first place in the nation among its peer colleges. Dr. Stukel went on to say that Dr. Broski, as provost, had recruited almost all of the sitting deans at UIC and that the representation of women deans had nearly doubled in that time. Further, the president said that Dr. Broski has worked to reduce bureaucracy at the Chicago campus and has succeeded in large measure and has always surrounded himself with very good people as staff. President Stukel then recognized Dr. Broski and his family, Mrs. Sharon Broski and Jane Broski, a daughter. In response, Dr. Broski said that the chancellorship at UIC has become a very important job in higher education. He opined that UIC seems poised to move into the front ranks of higher education institutions. Trustee Lamont congratulated Dr. Broski and his family.
