UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

101

T h e chancellor, with the concurrence of the vice president for academic affairs, has recommended authorization by the Board of Trustees of the execution of a contract as described. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, authority was given as recommended.

Subcontract for Educational Services with East Central Illinois Medical Education Foundation, Medical Center

(12) On July 20, 1977, the Board of Trustees approved the renewal of a subcontract with the East Central Illinois Medical Education Foundation for the development of a residency program in family practice in Danville, Illinois. T h e subcontract is funded by the federal government under the Area Health Education System contract. The College of Medicine has recommended renewal of the subcontract for the period October 21, 1978, through October 20, 1979, to continue development and implementation of the residency program. Under the subcontract, East Central Illinois Medical Education Foundation will provide approximately 1,042 hours of graduate medical education instruction at a rate of $27 per hour. The foundation will be reimbursed in an amount not to exceed $28,134. Federal funds are currently available to finance the existing subcontract through September 30, 1978, and a twenty-day extension of that subcontract. It is expected that the federal government will renew its contract with the University effective October 21, 1978. The proposed subcontract, therefore, will specify that continuation beyond October 20, 1978, is contingent upon renewal of the primary contract between the University and the federal government. T h e chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended approval of the subcontract, subject to approval by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. T h e vice president for academic affairs and the vice president for administration concur. I recommend approval.

The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Kooper, Mr. Sobotka, Mr. Watson; no, none. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved by die following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson.

Amendment of Contract for Educational Services, Carle Hospital, College of Medicine

(13) On July 19, 1978, the Board of Trustees authorized a contract with the Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana for educational services on behalf of the College of Medicine in fiscal year (FY) 1979. These services provide assistance in the expansion of the medical education program of the college. T h e chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the July action be amended to increase the amount authorized for the contract with Carle Foundation Hospital for FY 1979 in an amount not to exceed $13,330. This will increase the total amount authorized from $28,100 to $41,430. Additional professional services are required to assist in carrying out the medical education program at the School of Clinical Medicine at Urbana-Champaign. Funds are available in federal health professions capitation grants for FY 1979. T h e vice president for academic affairs and the vice president for administration concur. I recommend approval.
