BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 19

II

T h e committee has also recommended a change in Rule 16(c), dealing with transfer of credit from another state. Presently, an Illinois resident who previously established condition status in another state may not write as a candidate for the Illinois C.P.A. certificate. Rather, he must write and complete the entire examination as an out-of-state candidate under the supervision of the Illinois Committee and then apply for an Illinois certificate by transferring credits for the examination. This imposes an unnecessary burden on both the candidate and the University. T h e recommended revision is as follows1 (including a change in fee consistent with that recommended in the preceding section): R U L E 16(c). Transfer of Credits from Another State "A person who has written as a candidate in another state and who has passed part of the examination in such other state may write as a condition candidate in Illinois [(I) if he is ineligible to continue writing as a condition candidate in such other state;] (1) [(2)] if he meets the educational, citizenship, and residence requirements of the Illinois statute; and (2) [(3)] if at the time he would write as a condition candidate in Illinois he would qualify if his examination in such other state had been written in Illinois. No transfer of credits in subjects passed in another state shall be approved unless the Board of Examiners finds and determines that the examination in such other state was equivalent to the examinations given in Illinois. T h e applicant's grade or grades on subjects passed in such other state shall be determined and approved by the Board of Examiners before transfer is approved. A candidate who applies for a transfer of credits from another state shall pay a fee of $75 [$85] upon submission of his initial application to write as an Illinois candidate; thereafter the fee shall be the same as for other candidates." I recommend approval of the proposed changes.

Designation of Executive Vice President

(7) Based upon my review of the functioning of the general administration, which I find to be basically sound, I do not wish to recommend any major changes. However, one new designation is in order. I recommend that Dr. Ronald W. Brady, presently vice president for administration and comptroller, be designated executive vice president effective June 2 1 , 1980, at an annual salary of $70,900. The position of vice president for administration carries broad policy responsibility and direct operational responsibility for several key general University functions. The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure assign to that officer duties in resource allocation and long-range financial planning, as well as the responsibility for the business functions of all the campuses of the University. The comptroller is the general fiscal officer of the Board of Trustees and of the University and approves for the board all expenditures for which an appropriation has been made. In addition to his other duties, Dr. Brady has served as the University's affirmative action officer and, in recent years, has devoted increased time and effort to the oversight of relations between the University and the executive and legislative branches of state government.
