During the 1993-94 academic year and subsequent summer session, a search
was conducted for an associate chancellor and director of affirmative
action, to fill the position left by the retirement of Joseph H. Smith on
Sept. 1. As a consequence of that search, Chancellor Michael Aiken
concluded that the interests of the campus will be better served by the
appointment of two separate officers, an associate chancellor and a
director of affirmative action. In August, William T. Trent, UI professor
of educational policy studies and of sociology, was named an interim
associate chancellor, with primary responsibility to advise the chancellor
on issues and policy related to the diversity of the campus faculty, staff
and student body. He also is responsible for oversight of the campus Office
of Affirmative Action.

In addition, Larine Y. Cowan, associate director of the Office of
Affirmative Action, was named interim director of the office.
