       G. Administrative Reorganization Announced

       President Singletary said that the resignations of two Vice Presidents,
Dr. Creech and Dr. Albright, had necessitated some rethinking on his part of the
administrative organization of the University and that he was now ready to report
to the members of the Executive Committee certain changes which were being
made.

       He said key moves will be expanding the role of the Vice President for
Administration, Dr. Alvin L. Morris, and the naming of an Executive Assistant,
Dr. Donald B. Clapp, to be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the
President's Office.

       Dr. Singletary said the changes will provide significant administrative
economies that will allow him to increase support of the Undergraduate Studies
program, while emphasizing performance by such steps as moving the planning
function directly into the President's Office.

       The prime goal in restructuring the President's Office is to give him more
flexibility to deal with top policy matters and more time away from routine office
matters to get out on the campus--and around the Commonwealth. Under the new
setup no operational units will report to the President, only University-wide staff
positions.
