UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

629

The Committee now recommends that, effective for the Fall 1972 term and thereafter, a refund of the full amount of the difference be continued for reductions in programs to lower fee assessment ranges during the first ten days of the term, but that no refunds be made for reductions to lower fee assessment ranges thereafter. During an eight week summer session, the period for refunds in cases of withdrawal or reduction in registration to a lower fee assessment range would be limited to the first five days of instruction. The policy of "no refunds after the tenth day of instruction" is now in effect at the other state universities in Illinois. Official University enrollment figures are fixed as of the tenth day of instruction, and provisions for faculty, instructional facilities, and student services have been made for all students registered on that date. I concur in the recommendations of the University Committee on Fees. On motion of M r . H a h n , these recommendations were approved.

TRANSFER O F ADMINISTRATIVE JURISDICTION OF THE CENTER FOR CRANIOFACIAL ANOMALIES. MEDICAL CENTER

(26) On February 21, 1968, the Board of Trustees authorized the renaming and reorganization of the Cleft Palate Clinic and Training Program (Cleft Palate Unit) at the Medical Center campus. The new unit was designated the Center for Craniofacial Anomalies and is administered primarily through the Office of the Dean of the College of Dentistry. The Senate at the Medical Center now has recommended that the primary administrative jurisdiction be transferred to the Office of the Dean of The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine. The Center has become increasingly interdisciplinary in nature, melding research, education, and patient care in distinctive and beneficial ways. It is a valuable setting for the teaching of medical students of The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine and house officers of the University of Illinois Hospital, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate dental students. It has developed conjoint activities with a number of departments and faculty members of The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine and the majority of the Center's academic staff now hold appointments in that School. The recommendation is endorsed by the Director of the Center, the Dean of the College of Dentistry, and the Dean of The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur in this recommendation. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved.

MEDICAL SERVICE PLAN FOR THE OFFICE FOR FAMILY PRACTICE OF THE ROCKFORD S C H O O L OF MEDICINE, MEDICAL CENTER

(27) The Dean of the Rockford School of Medicine and the Executive Dean of the College of Medicine have recommended the approval of a Medical Service Plan for the Office for Family Practice of the Rockford School of Medicine. On July 26, 1967, the Board of Trustees approved a Medical Service Plan for the College of Medicine and the University of Illinois Hospital. Under the Plan, medical and surgical fees are now charged by the physician-faculty members of The Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine. The funds that accrue through the voluntary assignment of professional fees by the physician-faculty members are used to strengthen the programs of the College of Medicine and the University of Illinois Hospital. On October 13, 1969, the Governor signed Public Act 76-1942 requiring the teaching of the general practice of medicine in all medical schools established and maintained by the State of Illinois. On June 17, 1970, the Board of Trustees approved the establishment of Departments of Family Practice within the clinical schools of the College of Medicine. The Illinois Board of Higher Education gave its approval on February 2, 1971.
