TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT OF LUCIANO C. RAYMUNDO (3) T h e College of Medicine has recommended that the contract of appointment of Dr. Luciano C. Raymundo, as Research Assistant in Medicine for one year from July 1, 1961, be terminated for cause on the basis of specific charges made by the Acting Head of the Department of Medicine, the Hematologist on the staff of the Department, the Medical Director of the Research and Educational Hospitals, the Dean of the College, and concurred in by the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges. Dr. Raymundo, a physician with a temporary Illinois license to practice medicine in this state, was appointed Research Assistant in Medicine for one year from July 1, 1961, with research and patient care assignments in hematology in the Research and Educational Hospitals. H e was relieved of his duties on September 18, 1961. In accordance with the recommendation received, and pursuant to Section 38 of the University of Illinois Statutes, written charges were preferred and filed against Dr. Raymundo by the President of the University for conduct believed to be clearly and seriously prejudicial to the best interests of the University. These charges were filed with the Secretary of the Board of Trustees on September 29 and were served on Dr. Raymundo in person on October 2, at which time he was also notified that he was being suspended by the President of the University pending final decision of the Board of Trustees upon the charges referred to above. H e was likewise notified of the provisions in the University of Illinois Statutes with respect to procedure to be followed if he wished to request a hearing before the Board of Trustees or before the Committee on Academic Freedom of the Chicago Professional Colleges Senate. H e has requested no hearing, and the time for filing such request having expired, I recommend that Dr. Raymundo be removed and discharged for cause, and that his contract of appointment as Research Assistant in Medicine be terminated effective today on the basis of charges heretofore submitted and filed with the Secretary of the Board.
