BOARD O F T R U S T E E S

[September

appoint a special committee soon to review the recommendations in Education in the Health Fields for State of Illinois relating to a proposed "Illinois Institute of Health" (see Attachment B 1 — an excerpt from Education in the Health Fields for State of Illinois, pages 61-62). As noted in this excerpt, Recommendations 2 and 4, especially, propose rather fundamental changes in the size and functions of the Research and Educational Hospitals. In order that the Board of Higher Education (and the Health Education Commission) may have a full presentation of the University's own plans for the size and uses of its Hospital, it is recommended that a capital request in the amount of $650,000 be included among the capital projects to be presented formally to the Board of Higher Education at its meeting on September 9, 1969. The University would then include this item in its fiscal year 1971 capital request to be presented to the Governor and the General Assembly — unless developments prior to such submittal suggested the desirability of some modification of the proposal. In the latter event, the matter would be brought back to the Board of Trustees for further consideration. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus, the Executive Vice President and Provost, and the Vice President and Comptroller recommend approval of these proposals. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d b y t h e following vote: Aye, M r . Clement, M r . H u g h e s , M r . S w a i n ; no, none; absent, none.

Epperson, effective August 31, 1969. T h e Executive Vice President and Provost endorses this recommendation. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r .
