The award of the above contract is subject to the availability of such funds. The vice president for academic affairs and the executive vice president concur. I recommend approval. O n motion of Mr. Bettenhausen, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, M r .

Contract for Professional Services with Advance Health, Social, and Educational Associates, Inc., Medical Center (23) The chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended continuation of a contract with Advance Health, Social, and Educational Associates, Incorporated (AHSEA), of Chicago. The Board of Trustees first contracted with AHSEA for eight months of 1980. The contract was renewed (at an amount not to exceed $66,000) in FY 1981 and again in FY 1982. It has been of substantial benefit to the Urban Health Program and to the campus in general. The contract directs AHSEA to support the staff of the Urban Health Program's community advisory council in improving and increasing community participation in recruitment, early outreach, and student financial assistance. It also calls for AHSEA to assist the Medical Center campus in communicating more effectively the purposes, goals and achievements of the Urban Health Program to the several community constituencies in Chicago. The proposed contract, also for an amount not to exceed $66,000, is for the period July 1, 1982, through June 30, 1983. Funds are available in the institutional funds budget of the Medical Center campus. The vice president for academic affairs and the executive vice president concur in the recommendation. I recommend approval. Mr. Neal, who has served as chairman of the community advisory council to the U r b a n Health Program for the Board of Trustees, reviewed the work of the program during the last two-and-a-half years, indicating his view that the time had come for the program and its organization to be reviewed looking toward a permanent structure. Accordingly, he moved that the recommendation be amended to provide for a contract for six months, i.e., ending on December 30, 1982 — at which time (December 1982) the board would receive a report of such a review and make a determination as to the future of the program and its organization. The recommendation as amended was approved by the following roll call vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, Mr. Madden, M r . Neal, Mrs. Shepherd, M r . Stone; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Bandala, Mr. Bettenhausen, Mr. Persons; no, none.)
