Head, Department of Architecture, Urbana (Change in Previous Action)

(9) On March 19, 1981, the appointment of R. Alan Forrester as professor of architecture and head of the department at Urbana-Champaign, was approved by the Board of Trustees. In accord with board policy concerning the appointment of noncitizens, such appointments are effective "only so long as the noncitizens are lawfully present in this country and entitled to accept employment as determined by the appropriate Federal authority." T h e appropriate visa (a "permanent/immigrant" resident visa) has been delayed due to a large backlog in processing by the U.S. Immigration Service. Mr. Forrester has been issued an exchange visitor visa which permits a temporary appointment. Therefore, the chancellor at Urbana-Champaign has recommended that Mr. Forrester be appointed visiting professor of architecture and acting head of the department effective July 21, 1981, on a twelve month service basis at an annual salary of $52,000 and that the regular appointment, as previously approved, be offered when the appropriate visa has been obtained. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . H o w a r d , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
