PROVISIONAL CODE OF CONDUCT RULES AND REGULATIONS (15) The Illinois Board of Higher Education has promulgated a Provisional Code of Conduct for persons employed on the staffs of state-operated institutions of higher education, as required by the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act. T h e Board of Trustees concurred therein at its July 24, 1968, meeting. T h e Board of Trustees earlier (March 20, 1968) designated certain employees who would be required to file the disclosures referred to in the Provisional Code. By administrative action, the Rules and Regulations for the administration of the Provisional Code have been placed in effect. The document requires the University employees to make the identical disclosures which the Illinois Board of Ethics has prescribed for members of the Board of Trustees under other portions of the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act. I now request formal action by the Board to adopt these Rules and Regulations, and to ratify and confirm the previous administrative action. O n m o t i o n of M r .

STUDENT MEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAM (16) T h e current student health insurance contract was approved by the Board on June 18, 1969, and is underwritten by the Continental Assurance Company, Chicago. It is recommended that the contract be continued for the 1970-71 academic year for all campuses. The benefits and premiums will be the same as the current contract with the exception of the following decrease in benefits and increase in premiums for the Urbana-Champaign campus. These changes are necessary since claims have been 108.6 per cent of the premiums during the 1969-70 academic year. Changes in Benefits — Urbana-Champaign campus 1. Prescription Drugs and Medicines (proposed changes are italicized) — 50 per cent (presently 80 per cent) of the expense for drugs and medicines requiring the written prescription of a physician and which must be dispensed by a licensed pharmacist. Maximum benefit of $50.00 per semester and payment limited to a three-month supply per prescription or refill. 2. Dental Insurance — deletion of this coverage from the contract. (The current coverage provides: 50 per cent of the expense for fillings and extractions only. The benefit payment is limited to $10.00 per visit and a maximum of five visits per semester.)
