Deanship of the College of Education, Chicago Circle

(5) T h e chancellor at Chicago Circle has recommended the appointment of Dr. Maurice J. Eash, presently acting dean of the College of Education, as dean of the College of Education, and professor of education on indefinite tenure, beginning July 1, 1978, on a twelve-month service basis, at an annual salary of $45,000. This recommendation is made with the advice of a search committee. 2 The vice president for academic affairs concurs in the recommendation. I recommend approval. In accord with board procedures and prior to taking action on this recommendation, two speakers were given the opportunity to register their views, in this case, in opposition, to the recommendation. They were: Anna Varnavas, a student at the Chicago Circle campus; and Ruth Vasquez, representing several community groups in Chicago. The statements contained various criticisms of the search process involved, the degree of confidence some groups outside the University are said to have in the recommended appointee, and related matters. President Gorbally and Chancellor Riddle responded to a number of the comments made, correcting and clarifying the statements. Mr. Velasquez expressed his concern about the appointment and suggested that action be delayed upon it. President Gorbally stated that in his view the issue generally was not the relationship with outside groups but whether or not the University was in control of internal matters, including curricula and appointments. Chancellor Riddle expressed his view that it would be unwise for the appointment to be delayed or deferred.

On motion of Mrs. Rader, the appointment was approved as presented. Mr. Velasquez asked to be recorded as voting no.
