1094 BOARD OF TRUSTEES The employment of residents at the Research and Educational Hospitals is considered to be an administrative function delegated to the Medical Director. In the case before you there is no dispute regarding the facts, the individual having admitted the charges of participating in an operation at a private hospital and subsequently falsely denying to the Head of the Department of Otolaryngology that he had done so. His principal contention has been throughout that the sanction imposed in terminating his employment in the last year of his residency is unnecessarily severe. The action taken by the Medical Director followed the recommendation not only of the department directly involved but also of the entire administrative organization of the Research and Educational Hospitals. The VicePresident in charge of the Medical Center campus has supported the termination. Mindful of the appraisals and recommendations noted above, and mindful that even should one dissent from the decision of the Department Head and the Director of the Hospitals, these officers could not properly, under present rules, be directed to take a course of action against their professional judgment. I recommend that the Board decline to exercise its discretion to review this case. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the Board voted to decline to exercise its discretion to review this case. On motion of Mr. Williamson, the Board adjourned. Following adjournment, Professors E. C. Jordan, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Wendell E. Miller, Associate Head, George E. Anner, Willis L. Emery, and Director Ross J. Martin of the Engineering Experiment Station, were guests of the Board at luncheon. Professor Jordan and Director Martin addressed the Board, discussing the growth of the Department of Electrical Engineering since World War II and some of the research programs now under way. Following the luncheon, the Trustees visited the Electrical Engineering Building Addition and the Gaseous Electronics Laboratory. A. J. J A N A T A HOWARD W. CLEMENT Secretary President
