Mace to defend plan for external affairs director at SIU C

George R. Mace, vice president for university relations at SIU Carbondale, will present to the Faculty Senate on January 25 to justify hiring a director of external affairs. He argues the new post, with a 22 000 salary funded by reallocating existing funds, will boost state and national relations and include major initiatives like weekend seminars for Illinois legislators. The senate previously rejected a representative for the search committee and debated asking President Brandt to address administrator expansion.
