The trustees discussed the precise status of reorganization plans and were assured that nothing is now in a state of readiness for recommendations to the board. The board addressed the president's request that it reaffirm the existing policy that there remain one and only one College of Medicine. H e made clear that the continuing review to which he had referred would proceed in accord with the long-standing commitment to one College of Medicine unless he was advised otherwise. By consensus, the trustees reconfirmed that the University policy is to maintain one College of Medicine. President Ikenberry stated that further review would go forward in the light of this understanding and that some administrative steps could be taken to make savings by enrollment reductions.
