Assistant Secretary and Deputy [Assistant] Comptroller. The President of the Board, in consultation with the President of the University, may appoint members of the staff as Assistant Secretary and Deputy [Assistant] Comptroller, who shall perform the duties of the Secretary and Comptroller, respectively, during absences of those officers, and who shall perform such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to them.
