Sabbatical Leaves of Absence, 1995-96

(5) On motion of Ms. Reese, two sabbatical leaves of absence recommended by the interim chancellor at Chicago were granted. These leaves will be included in an annual compilation of 1995-96 sabbatical leaves of absence to be made a part of the board Proceedings.

By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 6 through 14 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Plan of Reorganization of the University of Illinois Health Maintenance Organization Plan Trust

(6) The president of the University of Illinois recommends approval of the Plan of Reorganization for the University of Illinois Health Maintenance Organization Plan Trust. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the current University of Illinois Health Maintenance Organization Plan Trust ("Plan Trust") will be terminated and its Assets and Liabilities assigned to UIHMO, Inc., an Illinois not-for-profit corporation ("UIHMO") which will be created. UIHMO will provide students at the Chicago campus with health insurance. It will also enable the University to provide health insurance programs to the medically indigent. As the State of Illinois institutes managed care services to the medically indigent, UIHMO will be in a position to expand the patient base in order to maintain quality medical education programs. The entire Plan of Reorganization is contingent upon the Plan Trust receiving regulatory approval from the Illinois Department of Insurance. The following is a description of the relevant documents, copies of which will be maintained in the Board of Trustees Office. Articles of Incorporation of UIHMO: Authorize UIHMO to operate as a health maintenance organization under the laws of the State of Illinois and to do all activities consistent with and in furtherance of that purpose. The Articles of Incorporation also name Vice Chancellor R. K. Dieter Haussmann, Vice President Craig S. Bazzani, and Dr. Jeffrey Gindorf (a member of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees), as the initial Board of Directors.
