BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[March 19

Agreement to Enroll Chicago State University Students in Army ROTC Program at Chicago Circle

(16) T h e Chancellor at t h e Chicago Circle campus has recommended authorization by the Board of Trustees of a contract between the University and the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities under which Chicago State University students would be permitted to enroll in the Army R O T C program at Chicago Circle. Both Basic and Advanced Army R O T C courses would be made available to those students who qualify and who desire to earn appointments as commissioned officers in the United States Army. Under the agreement, the University will provide textbooks, uniforms, and any applicable subsistence allowances, tuition, and fees received from the Army for such enrolled students in accord with regulations governing the R O T C program at Chicago Circle. Instruction may be conducted at either the Chicago Circle or the Chicago State campus, or both, depending on the number of students who enroll. In addition to offering the opportunity to Chicago State students to participate in previously unavailable R O T C courses, the agreement will enable the Chicago Circle campus to make fuller use of staff time and facilities now assigned to the R O T C program. A copy of the proposed agreement between the University and the Board of Governors has been filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. T h e Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concurs in this recommendation. I recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be authorized to execute the proposed agreement.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, authority was given as recommended. Contract for Educational Services, Rockford School of Medicine, College of Medicine

(17) O n September 18, 1974, the Trustees approved contracts with medical institutions and organizations in t h e Rockford area for educational services totaling $197,223. T h e services are required to assist in the expansion of the medical education program at the Rockford School of Medicine. A contract with the Rockford Medical Education Foundation was among those approved last fall. T h e Rockford School of Medicine has now requested that its contracting authority with the Rockford Medical Education Foundation be increased by $150,012. T h e requested increase represents a continuation of a contract which reimburses the Rockford Medical Education Foundation for services of family practice residents. T h e services of twenty-seven residents will be financed under the proposed contract by the Rockford Medical Service Plan. T h e delay in developing this agreement, which covers FY 1975, occurs because of the Rockford Medical Education Foundation Board's extended negotiations with three local hospitals over increased salary benefits for all residents. Approval of this contract will not increase the total amount previously approved for educational services of this type in the College of Medicine for FY 1975. Listed below are the total figures approved by the Board of Trustees on September 18, 1974, by location, and the revised figures as now recommended.
