ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ROCKFORD SCHOOL OF MEDICINE W I T H I N THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, MEDICAL CENTER, AND APPOINTMENT OF A DEAN (6) The plan for the reorganization of the College of Medicine, approved by the Board of Trustees on July 23, 1969, and endorsed by the Board of Higher Education on November 4, 1969, authorizes the establishment of semi-autonomous schools within the College of Medicine (in Chicago and in regions outside Chicago), each with its own dean. The Board has previously approved appointments of deans for the following schools established in accordance with the plan: The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine at the Medical Center, the School of Basic Medical Sciences at the Medical Center, the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana-Champaign, and the Peoria School of Medicine in Peoria. As a further step in the implementation of the plan of reorganization, the Executive Dean of the College of Medicine, with the concurrence of the Chancellor at the Medical Center, has recommended that another semi-autonomous school be established at Rockford, Illinois, as of July 1, 1971, and that it be named the Rockford School of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Illinois. T h e Executive Dean of the College, with the concurrence of the Chancellor, recommends the appointment of Dr. Robert L. Evans (presently Vice President for Medical Affairs at York Hospital, York, Pennsylvania, and Associate P r o fessor of Medicine at the University of Maryland) as Professor of Medicine, Rockford School of Medicine, on indefinite tenure, and Dean of the Rockford School of Medicine, beginning July 1, 1971, on a twelve months' service basis, at an annual salary of $46,500. T h e nomination of Dr. Evans is made with the advice of a search committee 1 comprised of representatives from The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine and the Rockford community. T h e Executive Vice President and Provost concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Swain, the establishment of the school and the appointment were approved.
