State agency or employer, and complete the transfer within 120 days, will receive a credit for the balance of unused and uncompensated disability leave accrued at the State agency or employer from which the employee is transferring. Such transferred disability leave credit will be treated in the same manner as disability leave accumulated by University of Illinois employees prior to January 1, 1984. T h e transferring staff member will accrue compensable disability leave at the beginning of employment with the University. Academic or administrative staff members who return to University employment within two years of an earlier separation from University employment, and who upon return are eligible for disability leave under this Section, shall have restored, as disability leave accumulated prior to January 1, 1984, regardless of when it was earned, any disability leave which was not compensated to such individuals or used to establish service credit in the State Universities Retirement System at the time of the prior separation from University employment. Reporting on use of disability leave will be made at the unit level and recorded centrally as required. (d) Death, Disability, and Survivor Benefits. For employees of the University, other than students paid on an hourly basis and personnel whose principal employment is outside the University, with at least six months' service, who are not participants in the State Universities Retirement System or any other publicly supported system which pays a death benefit, a death benefit of $500 is payable by the University. For employees who are participants in the State Universities Retirement System, death, disability, and survivor benefits are provided by that System.

Approval of City of Chicago/University of Illinois Proposal and Contractural Relationship for Mile Square Health Center

(19) At the July meeting of the Board of Trustees, the board received an oral report on the status of discussions between the University and the City of Chicago regarding the reopening of Mile Square Health Center. Following discussion, the board voted to authorize the administration to continue discussions with the city and return to the board in September with recommendations regarding a possible contract between the city and the University leading to the reopening of Mile Square Health Center. During the last two months those discussions have continued and a joint proposal was developed and submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A copy of the proposal, which was shared with members of the Board of Trustees, is filed with the secretary of the board. T h e interim chancellor at Chicago recommends that the board ratify the actions of the University in submitting to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — concurrently with the City of Chicago — the document, "A Proposal to Reopen Mile Square Health Center," dated August 7, 1990. T h e proposal defines the basis upon which the Mile Square Health Center would be opened as a city clinic, including the role of the University in the administration and staffing of the programs to be conducted at that site. Also included in the proposal is the first year's budget for the clinic ($2,760 million), of which the University would provide general support of $500,000 and an additional $200,000 to meet educational and research costs. University contributions and involvement with the clinic relate to its desire to expand medical education opportunities for students and residents, provide a setting for faculty and staff to develop new health care delivery systems in neighborhood settings, and establish a link between the clinic and the University Hospital that will add to the hospital's rebuilding efforts. T h e interim chancellor also recommends that the board authorize the execution of a contract with the City of Chicago regarding the operation of the Mile Square Health Center which would be established within the framework of the following: • T h e city will take title to and be responsible for the establishment of Mile Square as a city clinic.
