412 BOARD OF TRUSTEES was reclassified as Police Officer V I . The petition states that the duties and qualifications of the petitioner and Leroy Stephens were equal and that they were and are doing substantially equal work which requires equal skills, effort, and responsibility and is performed under similar working conditions. It is alleged that petitioner has requested retroactive reclassification to Police Officer V I I by the Merit Board, which has refused to correct the alleged error in classification. T h e petition seeks an order commanding the defendants to forthwith cause the reclassification of petitioner to Police Officer V I I effective June 30, 1973, with all the attendant benefits of retroactive pay, seniority, pension, and retirement. I t also seeks award of damages and reasonable attorney's fees. Director Rubenstein has requested that the University provide representation for him in the proceeding and has stated that any actions alleged to have been taken by him in the matter were taken in his capacity as a University employee. Pursuant to previous delegations by the Board of Trustees, the University Counsel has been given interim authorization to take such steps as are necessary or appropriate, including the employment of special counsel, to protect the interests of the University and to provide representation for Director Rubenstein. T h e University Counsel has recommended that such authorization be ratified, approved, and confirmed in all respects. I concur. T h e student advisory vote w a s : Aye, M r . Conlon, M r .
