Changes in Senate Bylaws (Report for Information)

(26) T h e University of Illinois Statutes require that changes to senate bylaws be reported to the Board of Trustees. A copy of the proposed change to the UrbanaChampaign Senate bylaws is filed with the secretary of the board for record.

This report was received for record. Revision of the Medical Service Plan, College of Medicine at Chicago

(27) T h e interim chancellor at Chicago has recommended substantial revisions in the Medical Service Plan involving the services of faculty in the College of Medicine. In July 1967, the board approved the establishment of a Medical Service Plan (MSP), whereby medical and surgical fees are charged by physician-faculty members of the College of Medicine and deposited in the University treasury. Subsequent board actions extended the MSP to the regional programs of the college. T h e College of Medicine faculty in Chicago, Peoria, and Rockford operate under MSP Bylaws which provide for the administration and governance of the MSP fund in each of those sites. On April 23, 1990, the College of Medicine faculty in Chicago voted to revise the MSP Bylaws for the College of Medicine at Chicago (COM-C). T h e revised plan calls for an MSP Board of Directors consisting of the dean, all clinical department heads, and one additional faculty member from each clinical department. This committee will coordinate the various Departmental Plans and will advise the dean and the campus administration regarding MSP activities. Under the revised plan, each COM-C clinical department will develop a Developmental Plan, to be approved by the dean. Each clinical department head will determine the manner in which that department's professional fees will be billed and collected. This includes, subject to necessary approvals, contracting with private agencies to provide all or a portion of a department's billing and collection functions. T h e revised plan provides that faculty may receive variable compensation from the MSP fund based upon the amount of professional fees earned by department faculty during a fiscal year. Each Departmental Plan will describe the method for determining such compensation. T h e revised plan has received the endorsement of the College Executive Committee and the College of Medicine faculty. T h e vice presidents for academic affairs and for business and finance have recommended approval. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 28 through 45 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)
