The University Board of Regents is scheduled to meet today and tomorrow morning for the first time since its business-heavy July meeting.
The board does not meet in the month of August.
The portion of the meeting reserved for public comments will begin at 4 p.m. in the Regents' Room of the Fleming Administration Building. The remainder of the meeting is planned for tomorrow morning at 9:30, also in the Regents' Room.
The regents moved this month's meeting dates from the routine Thursday and Friday schedule to Wednesday and Thursday because University President Lee Bollinger plans to attend the inauguration ceremony for Wayne State University's new president this Friday.
The regents will be asked to approve two key administration positions created by Bollinger last week - vice president for government relations and vice president and secretary. Bollinger nominated Cynthia Wilbanks to the government position and Lisa Tedesco as secretary.
The board also is expected to approve Marvin Krislov as vice president and general counsel and Liz Barry as associate vice president and deputy general counsel.
Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle Creek) said that although she has just returned from a trip and has been unable to read through the large amount of September regental material she received in the mail, she has not been made aware of anything out-of-the-ordinary.
"Usually, I'm advised in advance if there's going to be a sticky wicket," McFee said.
