DISCUSSION OF THE TITLE OF THE LEGAL ADVISER

The President reported to the Board that he has received correspondence from the Virginia Attorney General's Office in connection with the official titles used by the University's Legal Adviser. The Attorney General has decided that it will be necessary that the Legal Adviser have, in addition, the title of "Special Assistant Attorney General," rather than "Special Counsel," which latter title is normally applicable only to attorneys in private practice who represent state agencies on specific matters.

After a discussion the Board decided that it would not be necessary to change the Manual of the Board of Visitors, which establishes the office of "Legal Adviser of the University," but that the Legal Adviser could use the title of "Special Assistant Attorney General" in addition to the title of "Legal Adviser to the University." The Board directed, however, that the minutes of this meeting show that the use of the title "Special Assistant Attorney General" did not in any way make the Legal Adviser responsible to, or subject to the control of, the Virginia Attorney General.
