BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 20

It is clearly the expectation that residence hall contracts, in general, will be in effect for the entire academic year. The economic impact of the recommendation on residence hall operations will be considerable. Approximately $30 of the current room and board rate is attributable to the fact that many students (some 800 annually) leave the residence halls at the end of the fall semester. In addition to some significant financial benefit in setting future rates, the Housing Division will be able to provide space for more new freshmen and transfers. If the recommendation is approved, signed agreements will be sought from such other certified housing units as may wish to participate in a reciprocal arrangement for midyear contract terminations. T h e director of housing will continue to have discretion for contract release for other justifiable reasons. I recommend approval.

Contract for Residency Training in Occupational Medicine, Medical Center

(19) T h e chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended approval of a contract with the Cook County Board of Commissioners for the conduct of a joint program in occupational medicine. The University of Illinois receives grant funds from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for the support of a program wherein trainees may complete both a Master of Public Health degree and a residency in occupational medicine. In addition, instruction in occupational medicine is provided on an elective basis to residents in other medical disciplines. Residents/students in the program, in order to broaden their clinical experience, participate in various activities at Cook County Hospital including lectures, seminars, and a weekly occupational medicine clinic. They also serve as occupational medicine consultants at Cook County Hospital. Funds are provided in the grant for the partial support of these activities at Cook County Hospital in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the period July 1, 1980, through June 30, 1981. The vice president for academic affairs and the executive vice president concur. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r .
