A Proposal to the Academic Council, University o f Illinois College o f Medicine, Revised Reorganization Plan, December 9, 1981 The recommendations contained in this proposal to the Academic Council of the College of Medicine have been constructed by the deans of the schools within the college in a series of meetings with the executive vice president and the chancellor at the Medical Center. The president of the University had requested the group to seek consensus on a reorganization plan for the College of Medicine. The recommendations which are described in this proposal are based upon three fundamental principles: The first is that the University of Illinois continues to support its program of regionalized medical education; therefore, the plan for reorganization of the College of Medicine will continue the regional medical education programs at Peoria, Rockford, and Urbana-Champaign; The second is that a known and stable cohort of medical students will be assigned to the medical education sites at Ghicago, Peoria, Rockford, and UrbanaChampaign; and T h e third is that state-appropriated funds assigned by the University to the College of Medicine will be allocated to the medical education sites at Chicago, Peoria, Rockford, and Urbana-Champaign through a consistent and equitable enrollment-driven budget formula, subject to consideration of special, unusual, or unique program needs at any medical education site. Further, the University will establish a technical task force to continue to refine the budget formula now being used as a point of departure for this planning process. During meetings on November 20, December 4, and December 8, a revised reorganization plan was developed and now is forwarded to the Academic Council of the College of Medicine for consideration. The essential elements of the revised plan are the following: 1. The official title of the college shall be the "University of Illinois Gollege of Medicine." T h e medical education sites of the college will be identified as: University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago, University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, University of Illinois Gollege of Medicine at Rockford, University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign. 2. T h e College of Medicine will be headed by a single dean with responsibilities as described in the Statutes of the University. The regional medical education programs at Peoria, Rockford, and UrbanaChampaign will be headed by directors recommended for appointment by the dean after a search carried out in accordance with established University procedures. Each search committee will include majority representation from the faculty of the affected medical education site. The Directors will be responsible for administration of regional medical education programs at Peoria, Rockford, and Urbana-Champaign, subject to the general policies of the college, the campus, and the University. The directors will administer the annual operating budget. The regional medical education programs at Peoria, Rockford, and UrbanaChampaign will function as though they were "schools within a college" as described in the Statutes of the University, including the establishment of departments with heads or chairpersons as approved in accordance with applicable
