DISRUPTION, CHAMPAIGN-URBANA COALITION AGAINST APARTHEID

During the trustees' consideration of the previous item, a number of members of the Champaign-Urbana Coalition against Apartheid entered the room and interrupted the proceedings, making it impossible effectively to conduct further business. The group ignored admonitions from the president of the board and warnings that they were disrupting the meeting. They were asked to leave the room but refused to do so. At length, on motion of Mr. Neal, items 15 through 27 inclusively, viz., the remainder of the agenda, were approved by the following roll call vote: Aye, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Neal, Mr. Stone, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Kooper, Mr. Sobotka, Mr. Watson; no none. The trustees and general officers then adjourned to the Colonial Room on the first floor of the Union to consider those matters on the agenda of the executive session as planned.

Contract with Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center to Provide "CAT" Scans, Medical Center

(15) O n May 18, 1977, the trustees approved a contract with Rush-PresbyterianSt. Luke's Medical Center to provide computerized axial tomographic (CAT) scans for patients from the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics. Last year the Board of Trustees increased the spending ceiling for the scans from $100,000 to $150,000, a step required because of volume and price increases. As the diagnostic importance of C A T scans has grown, so has the number ordered by staff physicians. In F Y 1978, 108 scans were ordered. In the current fiscal year 538 have been ordered and an additional 280 to 300 will be needed. The proximity of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center makes it the hospital of choice for providing this service. T h e chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended that the current contract be amended to provide that billings not exceed $250,000 in FY 1979, an increase of $100,000 over the present agreement. Funds are available in the operating budget of the University Hospital. T h e vice president for administration concurs. I recommend approval.
