Reorganization of Academic Administration, Chicago

(6) The chancellor at the Chicago campus has recommended a series of changes in the academic administrative structure effective July 1, 1986. These involve the establishment of the position of executive vice chancellor and vice chancellor for academic affairs, and the redesignation of duties and titles as presented below. T h e executive vice chancellor and vice chancellor for academic affairs will serve as the campus' chief academic and chief operating officer whose activities will focus on short-term, internal, and tactical matters, thus enabling the chancellor to direct more of his efforts toward long-range, external, and strategic issues. The chancellor recommends the appointment, effective July 1, 1986, of James J. Stukel, presently vice chancellor for research and dean of the Graduate College, as acting executive vice chancellor and vice chancellor for academic affairs on a twelve-month service basis, to serve until a recommendation can be made for a permanent officer, at an annual salary of $99,000. Further recommendations are: T h e appointment of Alexander M. Schmidt, presently vice chancellor for health affairs, as vice chancellor for health services, on a twelve-month service basis, at a salary to be established during the normal campus salary-setting process. T h e vice chancellor for health services will oversee the development of the campus' health care delivery institutions, including the University of Illinois Hospital and

Clinics.
