The Chancellor concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h e s e a p p o i n t m e n t s w e r e a p p r o v e d . TRANSFER O F DUTIES O F VICE PRESIDENT FOR FINANCIAL AFFAIRS AND REDESIGNATION O F CERTAIN OTHER OFFICERS (6) A s the Trustees have known for some time, Herbert O. Farber, Vice President for Financial Affairs and Comptroller of t h e Board of Trustees, has elected to retire after more than thirty years of service to the University of Illinois. F o r some months we have been studying the most effective means of maintaining continuity and efficiency in business and financial operations subsequent to Mr. Farber's retirement. T h e Vice President for Planning and Allocation, Ronald W . Brady, has been central to these consultations and studies, and the Trustees have been kept informed of the progress of the analysis. It is Mr. Farber's intention to resign from t h e position of Comptroller of the Board of Trustees, effective July 31, 1973, and the Trustees today have before them the matter of electing a new comptroller. Mr. Farber will continue to retain certain University responsibilities on special assignment until September 30. I recommend that the Trustees act today to designate M r . Farber as Comptroller of the Board of Trustees, emeritus, effective August 1, and Vice President for Financial Affairs, emeritus, effective October 1. Further, I present the following recommendations having to d o with the future alignment of responsibilities of the Vice Presidency for Financial Affairs. I recommend that, effective August 1, 1973, the Vice President for Planning and Allocation assume all previous duties and responsibilities of the Vice President for Financial Affairs. Further, I concur in the recommendation of Mr. Brady that the following changes in title of other officers in t h e present office of the Vice President for Financial Affairs be approved effective August 1, 1973: Robert David Franks, presently Assistant to the Vice President for Financial Affairs, become Assistant to the Vice President for Planning and Allocation.
