I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Gindorf, 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. 8 through 20 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Cooperative Educational Master Agreement with Cook County Hospital, College of Medicine, Chicago

(8) The interim chancellor at Chicago recommends approval of an updated cooperative educational master agreement with Cook County Hospital (CCH), Chicago. The agreement is for the period beginning March 6, 1996, through June 30, 2000. CCH and the University entered into an agreement on August 1, 1976, whereby CCH and the University agreed to reciprocal arrangements involving students and residents between each institution's educational and clinical training programs and services. This new agreement modernizes and clarifies the 20-year-old terms and conditions of the relationship between CCH and the University for the purpose of coordinating clinical, educational, and research programs for the education and training of residents of CCH and the University. As in the prior agreement, the new agreement will be supplemented by a program addendum for each individual program to be implemented under the agreement. It is anticipated that existing program addenda for the Departments of Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology, and Orthopaedics will be rolled over from the prior agreement to the new agreement. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

The contract is for the period of February 9, 1996, through February 8, 1999. Competitive bidding procedures in accordance with the Illinois Purchasing Act were followed. KPMG will assist ITS in reviewing and finalizing the existing system architecture and implementation strategy to be used at UIH&C, establishing appropriate decisionmaking bodies and functional teams for a complete and timely project implementation, and defining appropriate project standards and criteria for measuring these standards.
